MAX16126TCA+T

Product Overview

MAX16126TCA+T from Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated is a specialized power management IC intended for load dump and voltage protection tasks. The device operates from a supply range of 3 V to 30 V and has a supply current of 224 µA. It uses a 12-TQFN (3x3) surface-mount package with an exposed pad, supporting compact board layouts. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 125°C, making it suitable for environments where the IC may experience wide thermal variation.

Key Features

• Load dump and voltage protection function for power management applications
• Supply voltage range of 3 V to 30 V
• Supply current of 224 µA
• Operating temperature range of -40°C to 125°C
• 12-TQFN (3x3) surface-mount package with exposed pad

Applications

• Power input protection in equipment using 3 V to 30 V supplies
• Load-dump handling in systems where supply transients can appear
• Space-constrained boards requiring a compact surface-mount protection device

Design & Procurement Notes

When selecting MAX16126TCA+T, verify that the board power input falls within the 3 V to 30 V supply range and that the 224 µA supply current is compatible with the system's power budget. The 12-TQFN (3x3) exposed-pad package requires surface-mount assembly and sufficient land pattern area for reliable soldering and pad access. The -40°C to 125°C operating range should be checked against the expected thermal environment of the final product. Because the device's function is load dump and voltage protection, confirm that the required transient conditions and protection behavior align with the device's functions before final circuit design.
