MAX1626 Overview
Key Specifications
Package: SOIC
Mount Type: Surface Mount
Pins: 8
Max Voltage (typical range): 16.5 V
Key Features
- These step-down controllers drive an external P-channel MOSFET, allowing design flexibility for applications to 12W or higher
- Soft-start reduces current surges during start-up
- A high switching frequency (up to 300kHz) and operation in continuous-conduction mode allow the use of tiny surface-mount inductors
- Output capacitor requirements are also reduced, minimizing PC board area and system costs
- The output voltage is preset at 5V or 3.3V for the MAX1626 and adjustable for the MAX1627
