The Maxim Integrated MAX16984SATI/V+ is a single-output USB converter IC designed for automotive power systems requiring a regulated 5V rail from a wide input range of 4.5V to 28V.
The 4.5V to 28V input range covers both nominal 12V automotive battery and load-dump transients without external pre-regulation. The single 5V output at the rated current handles USB VBUS and peripheral power in infotainment, telematics, and body-control modules.
For production BOMs requiring AEC-Q100 qualification, this part is a current-design-in candidate with no near-term obsolescence risk.
