Active production, wide-VIN Himalaya buck
The MAX15062AATA+T is an active-production step-down regulator from Analog Devices' Himalaya series, a family known for high-voltage input capability in a compact footprint. It accepts a 4.5 V to 60 V input range and delivers a fixed 3.3 V output at up to 300 mA — a combination that suits it for industrial and automotive auxiliary rails where the input bus can swing from a cold-crank low to a load-dump transient.
Package, temperature, and switching behaviour
Housed in an 8-WFDFN package (supplier device package 8-TDFN, 2 mm × 2 mm), the part is surface-mount and requires a thermal pad layout for the exposed paddle — the datasheet's recommended copper area under the package sets the junction-to-ambient thermal resistance. Switching at 500 kHz, the regulator uses a fixed-frequency PWM architecture; the inductor value scales inversely with frequency, so a 10 µH to 22 µH shielded inductor is typical for this output current and switching rate.
Sourcing and compliance
Analog Devices lists the MAX15062AATA+T as Active and fully RoHS3 compliant. Supplied in Tape & Reel (TR) or Cut Tape (CT) options, the ordering code suffix +T indicates the reel format; a CT order is suitable for prototyping or low-volume builds without committing to full reel quantities.
