The MAX16956AUBE/V+T is a step-down (buck) switching regulator that delivers a fixed 3.3 V output at up to 300 mA. It operates from a 3.5 V to 36 V input. Output is fixed at 3.3 V, so no external feedback divider is needed, reducing BOM count. The ROHS3-compliant finish matches current lead-free assembly requirements.
At 300 mA output, this part is sized for low-to-mid-power rails: a small MCU, a few op-amps, or a CAN transceiver. Do not plan to run a 1 A load through it — the thermal limit at 125°C ambient will derate the output below 300 mA. Use the exposed pad with adequate PCB copper area to keep junction temperature in check.
