Applications
* The MAX730A accepts inputs between 5.2V and 11V and delivers 450mA for inputs above 6V. Typical efficiencies are 85% to 96%. Quiescent supply current is 1.7mA and only 6µA in shutdown. Pulse-width modulation (PWM) current-mode control provides precise output regulation and excellent transient respo
