Device function and production status
The MAX1848ETA is a white LED step-up converter from Maxim Integrated, designed to drive series-connected white LEDs from a low-voltage input.
Compliance and packaging note
The MAX1848ETA is listed as RoHS non-compliant, which means it contains lead or other restricted substances above the RoHS threshold — confirm your assembly's exemption or waiver before specifying this part for a new BOM. Supplied in bulk packaging, so the units arrive loose in a bag or tube rather than on a reel — plan for manual pick-and-place or tube-fed handling at the line.
