Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX38647B Miniature nanoPower Buck Converters

Analog Devices Inc. / Maxim Integrated MAX38647B Miniature nanoPower Buck Converters with 4-level VSEL step-down from an input voltage range of 1.8V to 5.5V to a wide 0.5V to 1.8V output range. These buck converters automatically switch between ultra-low-power mode (ULPM), low-power mode (LPM), and high-power mode (HPM) to service the load at the highest possible efficiency depending on the load current. The easy-to-use MAX38647B aids in extending battery life with 94% peak efficiency, supports 100% duty-cycle operation, and offers short-circuit protection and internal active discharge. MAX38647B is available in a 1.82mm x 0.89mm, 0.4mm pitch 8-bump WLP package or a 3mm2, 0.5mm pitch 10-pin TDFN package.
