MAX8723ETE+

Overview

The MAX8723ETE+ is a high-efficiency, switch-mode step-down regulator featuring an integrated 14V internal power switch. It generates fixed 3.3V or adjustable DC output voltages ranging from 2.0V to 3.6V from a 6V to 13.2V input supply. The device operates with current-mode PWM and offers selectable switching frequencies of 500kHz, 1MHz, or 1.5MHz. It includes a 2V precision reference with 1% accuracy, an internal 5V linear regulator supporting up to 25mA external load, and thermal shutdown protection.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a 14V 2A N-Channel MOSFET switch for compact design
• Supports dual mode operation with fixed 3.3V or adjustable 2.0V to 3.6V outputs
• Includes built-in soft-start and timer-delayed output fault protection

Applications

• LCD TVs and monitors
• Digital system power supplies
• Point-of-load regulators
• 8/12V powered industrial equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm package type and temperature range. Ensure compatibility with required switching frequency settings and output voltage configurations before procurement. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest lifecycle status to confirm availability and obsolescence risks.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, high-efficiency solution is needed for 8/12V systems driving LCD displays or point-of-load applications. Consider the integrated bootstrap diode and synchronous rectifier driver capabilities. Evaluate the need for specific switching frequencies to optimize inductor size and efficiency requirements.
