Buck and boost in one 16-SOIC package
The MAX710ESE+ is a single-output switching regulator handling step-up (boost) and step-down (buck) conversion from a 1.8V to 11V input rail.
Temperature grade and environment
Rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient, this part fits industrial control, outdoor telecom, and factory-floor power supplies. No automotive or military screening, so for under-hood or avionics applications you would look at the AEC-Q100 or MIL-STD equivalents. The 16-SOIC footprint is standard — layout guidelines for the inductor and catch diode are in the datasheet, but the key point is keeping the switch node trace short to minimise ringing.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The MAX710ESE+ is listed as active with ROHS3 compliance. No end-of-life notice or last-time-buy window is in effect.
