800 mA output — sizing the load budget
The 800 mA current rating is the continuous output capability. That covers a small MCU plus a few peripherals, a wireless module, or a sensor cluster. If your BOM line draws more than 800 mA peak, this part is not the fit — step up to a higher-current buck. The 2.6 V minimum input means it operates from a single Li-ion cell down to near its discharge floor; below that, the regulator drops out.
Active lifecycle — no LTB pressure
The MAX1927REUB+T carries an Active product status with ROHS3 compliance. Sourcing through independent distribution keeps the supply channel open for both prototype quantities and production runs; availability and pricing are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.
