Automotive dual LDO/switch for remote power
The Maxim Integrated MAX16948AGTE/V+T is an adjustable dual LDO/switch IC designed for automotive systems and remote power applications. The device accepts a wide 4.5V to 28V supply rail, covering nominal 12V and 24V automotive buses with headroom for load-dump transients.
Supply current and package
Quiescent supply current is 2.1mA, a figure that matters for always-on modules in the vehicle where every milliamp counts against the battery-offload budget. The part comes in a 16-WQFN Exposed Pad package (16-TQFN 4x4 mm footprint) with surface-mount mounting.
For BOM planning, the active status means standard lead times through distribution apply, and no special LTB inventory management is needed.
