MAX1626ESA+T

DC DC Switching Controllers Overview

The MAX1626ESA+T is a high-efficiency step-down DC-DC controller designed for fixed-frequency PWM operation at 300kHz. It supports input supply voltages ranging from 3V to 16.5V and provides a single output phase with a maximum duty cycle of 100%. The device delivers load currents between 1mA and 2A. It is housed in an 8-pin NSOIC package.

DC DC Switching Controllers Feature Summary

• Supports 100% duty cycle operation for low dropout performance
• Fixed 300kHz switching frequency minimizes external component size
• Wide input voltage range accommodates various power sources

DC DC Switching Controllers Applications

• Battery-powered portable equipment
• Point-of-load regulation modules
• General-purpose step-down power supplies

DC DC Switching Controllers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation or authorized distributor datasheets prior to procurement. Ensure the supplier is an authorized channel partner to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

DC DC Switching Controllers Selection Notes

Select this controller for applications requiring efficient buck conversion within a 3V to 16.5V input range. It is suitable for designs needing up to 2A load current with minimal external components due to the integrated 300kHz oscillator. Consider thermal management requirements based on the expected power dissipation in the NSOIC-8 package.

DC DC Switching Controllers Part Context

This component belongs to the Maxim Integrated line of switching controllers, now part of Analog Devices Inc. The MAX1626 series focuses on high-efficiency step-down conversion. The ESA+ designation identifies the specific package type and lead-free manufacturing process compliant with environmental standards.

DC DC Switching Controllers Replacement Considerations

Consult official Analog Devices documentation for verified pin-compatible or functionally equivalent substitutes. Cross-reference specifications such as input voltage range, switching frequency, and current capability to ensure compatibility with existing circuit designs.
