Package and handling in the field
SC-70-5 package, surface mount. Shutdown control pin is active-low.
Protection and temperature range
On-chip protection covers over-current and over-temperature, so a momentary short on the output does not kill the regulator. The operating temperature range is -40°C to 85°C, which covers industrial cabinets, outdoor telecom enclosures, and automotive cabin environments. Input voltage max is 6V, so keep it off 12V or 24V rails unless you add a pre-regulator.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX8511EXK33+T carries an active lifecycle status — no end-of-life notice, no last-time-buy pressure. It is ROHS3 compliant. No LTB risk, no need to qualify a substitute for a production run.
