MAX16166AWPH+T

Supervisors Overview

The MAX16166AWPH+T is a high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (Maxim Integrated). It integrates two N-channel power switches and operates from an input voltage range of 3.8V to 28V. The device delivers up to 6A of output current with adjustable switching frequencies from 300kHz to 2.2MHz. Key electrical parameters include a quiescent current of 45µA, a feedback reference voltage of 0.6V, and operation over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +125°C. It features cycle-by-cycle current limit, thermal shutdown, and soft-start capabilities within a thermally enhanced 28-pin TQFN package.

Supervisors Feature Summary

• Integrates dual N-channel power MOSFETs for high efficiency in a compact footprint
• Supports wide input voltage range suitable for various bus architectures
• Includes comprehensive protection mechanisms such as thermal shutdown and current limiting

Supervisors Applications

• Industrial point-of-load regulation
• Telecommunications equipment power distribution
• Embedded systems requiring stable low-voltage rails

Supervisors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix AWPH+T against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm pinout and thermal pad configuration. Ensure compatibility with your PCB layout requirements for the TQFN package. Check for RoHS compliance status and lead-free certification if required by your assembly process. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply levels may vary.

Supervisors Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide input voltage range and high output current are required in a small form factor. Consider the adjustable switching frequency to optimize for either size or efficiency. Evaluate the thermal performance of the TQFN package against your system's heat dissipation capabilities. Compare quiescent current specifications if battery life or standby power consumption is a critical design constraint.

Supervisors Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX16166 family of synchronous buck converters designed for demanding industrial and communication applications. It represents Maxim Integrated's approach to integrating power stages directly into the controller IC to reduce external component count. The series is known for robust protection features and high efficiency across varying load conditions.

Supervisors Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference guides for direct pin-compatible alternatives. Verify that any substitute matches the input voltage range, current capability, and package dimensions. Ensure control loop stability and protection thresholds are comparable before implementation.
