MAX1748EUE

The MAX1748EUE is a step-down DC-DC converter from Maxim Integrated (now part of Analog Devices). It operates over a 4.5V to 36V input range, delivering adjustable output voltages down to 1.25V with up to 2A of output current.
Key features include:
- High efficiency (up to 95%) with PWM control.
- Integrated power MOSFETs for compact designs.
- Adjustable switching frequency (100kHz to 500kHz).
- Soft-start and current-limiting for protection.
- Thermal shutdown to prevent overheating.
Packaged in a 16-pin TSSOP (UE), it’s suited for industrial, automotive, and telecom applications requiring robust power conversion.
For detailed specs, refer to the datasheet.
