Buck controller for 2.7V–28V rails
The MAX8545EUB+ from Analog Devices (formerly Maxim Integrated) is a step-down (buck) switching controller designed for single-output, positive-voltage regulation. It integrates a synchronous rectifier driver, which improves efficiency by replacing the freewheeling diode with a low-RDS(on) MOSFET — a common choice in point-of-load and intermediate bus converters where board space is tight. Switching frequency is 300 kHz. Maximum duty cycle is 86%.
Package and temperature grade
Housed in a 10-pin TFSOP/MSOP package (3.00 mm width, 0.118" body), the MAX8545EUB+ is a surface-mount part suited for dense PCB layouts. The supplier device package is 10-uMAX/uSOP — a common footprint for Maxim's small-outline controllers. Rated for -40°C to 85°C ambient operation, it fits industrial control, outdoor telecom, and automotive cabin environments where extended temperature range is required but full automotive qualification (AEC-Q100) is not specified.
