Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. announced the launch of the Continua ™ MAX38889 2.5V to 5.5V, 3A reversible increase/antihypertensive regulator, helping the system architect with supercapacitors or other energy backup power supply to achieve the best combination of the highest efficiency and minimum volume EssenceMaxim Continua ™ The latest members of the family of backup regulator family provide the industry's most stringent 2.5%output adjustment accuracy and support key applications that require high precision.

MAX38889 has a peak efficiency of 94%, 9%higher than the closest competition scheme, enabling it to support longer backup time.In addition, IC is more likely to integrate into a limited space design with one -third of the size.

In applications such as smart meters or car dashboard cameras, MAX38889 Continua regulator work in a lowering voltage mode to charge the power supply for supercapacitors.When the main power supply is not available, the regulator automatically reverse, and increase the voltage of the super capacitor to supply the system until the main power is restored.

For the convenience of design, the entire MAX38889 scheme is 64% smaller than the closest competition scheme (218mm2 vs. 606mm2), allowing designers to reduce the number of components, reduce circuit board space, and save BOM costs.The smaller size also makes it easier to integrate into new design and existing designs with strict space.MAX38889 can adjust the backup power supply of various portable and non -portable applications, such as retail price scanners and monitoring cameras, as well as other applications such as family, building, automotive, industrial automation and medical health.

Main advantage

· Maximum efficiency: 94%peak efficiency, 9%higher than the closest competitive product

· Minimum size: one -third of the closest competition plan

· Maximum accuracy adjustment: Provide 2.5%voltage adjustment of 5V application requirements

evaluate

· "Maxim's Continua series backup voltage regulator adopts advanced switching regulator design, providing two -way lift/antihypertensive, high -precision output adjustment, minimizing space, and improving the efficiency of power supply." Maxim Integrated's core product division executes Director Anil TelikePalli said: "This is the third product of the Continua product line. Maxim has always been committed to the support of Changdian applications, which can effectively help design engineers respond to the most severe backup power challenge."
