Product details

Automotive-grade 4 A buck in a 4×4 QFN

The MAX16962RATEA/V+ is a step-down (buck) switching regulator rated for 4 A continuous output, switching at 2.2 MHz. It accepts an input from 2.7 V up to 5.5 V and delivers an adjustable output down to 0.8 V.

The 16-TQFN with exposed pad (4×4 mm body) is a common automotive-grade package. The centre pad is the main thermal and electrical ground path — it needs a solid via array under the part to pull heat into the inner layers. The exposed pad makes hand rework trickier than a standard SOIC: preheat the board from the bottom, use a nozzle that covers the whole part, and lift when the solder is fully liquid — lifting a corner while one side is still solid risks pad damage.

The T suffix changes only the shipping medium (reel vs tube), not the silicon or the footprint.

Frequently asked questions

Is MAX16962RATEA/V+ equivalent to MAX16962RATEA/V+T?

Yes — electrically and thermally identical. The T suffix indicates tape-and-reel packaging instead of tube; the silicon, package, and AEC-Q100 qualification are the same.

Can I replace a failed MAX16962RATEA/V+ with MAX16962RATEA/V+T?

Yes — the MAX16962RATEA/V+T is the same die in tape-and-reel format. The footprint, pinout, electrical specs, and thermal performance are identical. The only difference is the shipping medium.

What is the closest pin-compatible alternative to MAX16962RATEA/V+?

Within the same family, the MAX16962RATEA/V+T is the direct pin-compatible tape-and-reel variant. For a different current rating, check the MAX16962 series siblings — but the V+ suffix marks this specific AEC-Q100 qualified version.
