MAX8716ETG+T

Overview

The MAX8716ETG+T is a high-efficiency, low-profile synchronous step-down DC-DC converter manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (Maxim Integrated). It operates with an input voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V and delivers up to 3A of output current. The device integrates power MOSFETs and features adjustable switching frequencies from 400kHz to 2.2MHz. It includes comprehensive protection mechanisms such as overcurrent, thermal, and short-circuit protection. The component is housed in a compact 24-pin WFQFN exposed pad package, suitable for space-constrained applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrates high-side and low-side N-channel power MOSFETs for efficient power conversion
• Features adjustable switching frequency to optimize external component size and efficiency
• Includes built-in protection against overcurrent, thermal overload, and short circuits

Applications

• Point-of-load regulation in portable electronics
• Power supply modules for industrial equipment
• Controller board power distribution systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation.
