MAX16935BAUER/V+T

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Overview

The MAX16935BAUER/V+T is a 3.5A current-mode step-down converter featuring integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs, designed for operation with an external Schottky diode to enhance efficiency. It operates from a 3.5V to 36V input range with only 28µA quiescent current at no load. The switching frequency is resistor programmable from 220kHz to 2.2MHz and can be synchronized to an external clock. The output voltage is adjustable from 1V to 10V or fixed at 3.3V/5V. It supports forced-PWM mode under light loads and includes protection features like cycle-by-cycle current limit and thermal shutdown.
