What the 5-channel rating means for a DSC board
The MAX1585ETJ is a 5-channel slim DSC power supply IC, meaning it integrates five independent output rails for a digital still camera (DSC) board — covering the CCD, logic, motor, and I/O supplies from a single controller. The 5-channel count is the headline spec: it replaces five separate LDOs or a multi-rail PMIC, saving PCB area in a compact form factor.
Supplied in Bulk — the TQFN package is the standard for this IC, with a 5 mm × 5 mm footprint and exposed paddle for thermal dissipation.
The part is RoHS non-compliant, so it contains lead in the solder finish and is not suitable for EU RoHS-required assemblies unless an exemption applies.
