Figure
Figure 4 shows a SEPIC application circuit using the
MAX16838. The SEPIC topology is necessary to keep
the output voltage of the DC-DC converter regulated
when the input voltage can rise above and drop below
the output voltage.
Figure 5 shows a boost-buck configuration with the
MAX16838 and MAX15054.
LED driver circuits based on the MAX16838 device use
a high-frequency switching converter to generate the
voltage for LED strings. Take proper care while laying
out the circuit to ensure proper operation. The switching-
converter part of the circuit has nodes with very fast volt-
age changes that could lead to undesirable effects on
the sensitive parts of the circuit. Follow these guidelines
to reduce noise as much as possible:
