MAX824SEUK

MAX824SEUK is a Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) version of the MAX824, a small boost (step-up) DC-DC converter. It uses a switch‑mode boost topology to generate a higher output voltage from a lower input, making it suitable for battery-powered electronics needing rails such as LCD bias, backlighting, or other higher-voltage points.
Key points:
- Type: Boost regulator with integrated switching element; external components required.
- Package/variant: SEUK denotes a specific ordering variant (package/regional code) for the MAX824 family.
- Features: High efficiency and protection options (such as undoable protection features) typical of MAX regulators; exact protections and performance depend on the specific device revision.
- External components: Inductor, Schottky diode, input/output capacitors, and a feedback network as specified in the datasheet.
- Applications: Portable devices and any design needing a higher rail from a single low-input source.
For precise pinout, electrical specs, and recommended external components, consult the latest MAX824/MAX824SEUK datasheet.

Here are the typical features of the MAX824SEUK (MAX824 family) in a concise list:
- 8-pin package (SO-8 variant)
- High-efficiency switching regulator with an internal power switch
- Wide input voltage range (supports many battery/rail inputs)
- External components required: inductor, catch diode, input/output capacitors
- Adjustable output via external feedback resistors (or fixed options on some variants)
- Enable/Shutdown pin for power-down control
- Overcurrent and short-circuit protection
- Thermal shutdown protection
- Soft-start to limit inrush current
- Low quiescent current under light load
Note: exact voltage ranges, output options, and package details should be confirmed from the official MAX824SEUK datasheet for precise specifications.

- Pin count: 8 pins (8-pin package, e.g., SO-8).
- Function: Boost (step-up) DC-DC converter. Converts a low input voltage to a higher output using an external inductor and diode, with an enable/shutdown control.

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices).
What kind of company: A fabless semiconductor company that designs and markets analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits (e.g., power-management ICs), outsourcing manufacturing to external foundries. The MAX824 product line is now under Analog Devices.

MAX824SEUK is a high-efficiency DC-DC buck regulator. Typical application areas include:
- Automotive power management and harsh-environment DC-DC conversion
- Battery-powered portable devices (generating 3.3V/5V rails)
- Telecommunications and networking equipment
- Industrial control and instrumentation power supplies
- Consumer electronics needing compact, efficient regulation
- Embedded systems and microprocessor/FPGA power rails
- Backup/UPS subsystems and distributed power for complex boards

The MAX824SEUK comes in an 8-pin SOIC (surface-mount) package.
