Buck controller for 3–16.5 V rails
The Enable pin provides a simple on/off control for power sequencing or low-power standby. With no synchronous rectifier, the external diode handles the low-side path, which is a cost-effective choice for output currents up to a few amps depending on the external MOSFET and inductor selected.
Temperature grade and environment
Rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient, this controller fits industrial environments: motor drives, outdoor telecom equipment, factory automation panels, and engine-bay electronics. No need to step up to a mil-grade part for these conditions.
Sourcing and lifecycle
The MAX1626ESA+ carries an Active lifecycle status and is ROHS3 compliant.
