What this part is and where it fits
The MAX669EUB/V+ from Maxim Integrated is a current-mode PWM switching controller designed for boost, flyback, and SEPIC topologies. It is qualified to AEC-Q100, making it suitable for automotive power supplies — under-hood ECUs, infotainment rails, or sensor bias generators — where the supply voltage can swing from 1.8 V to 28 V. The controller drives an external N-channel MOSFET and operates with a single output phase.
Key ratings and what they mean for your BOM
The switching frequency range of 100 kHz to 500 kHz lets you trade off inductor size against switching losses. The 90% maximum duty cycle supports moderate step-up ratios in boost or SEPIC.
Lifecycle and sourcing reality
The MAX669EUB/V+ is listed as Active with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window has been announced. For a BOM line that needs automotive-grade qualification, this part is a stable choice — no imminent obsolescence risk. Sourcing is through independent distribution; current pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time against an RFQ.
