Figure 2. Power efficiency vs. current load for 12V
output.
Figure 3. Power efficiency vs. current load for 15V
output.
The output noise is well below 0.5% of the output voltage. The noise is mainly due to the switching pulses of the
MAX256. Figure 4 and Figure 5 display the noise at no load for 12V and 15V outputs, respectively. Figure 6 and
Figure 7 display the noise at the maximum loads for 12V and 15V outputs, respectively.
Figure 4. Noise at VOUT = 12V, IOUT = 0mA. Figure 5. Noise at VOUT = 15V, IOUT = 0mA.
