Conv DC-DC Single Step Down 2.2V to 16.5V 8-Pin SOIC N

The MAX638 step-down switching regulator Is designed for minimum component, low power, DC-DC conversion. Typical applications require only a small, low-cost inducator an output filter capacitor, and a catch diode. Low battery detection circuitry is included on chip. Though most simply used as a fixed +5V output regulator, the MAX638 can be set for other voltages by adding 2 resistors Maxim manufactures a broad line of step-up, step-down, and inverting DC-DC converters, with features such as logic-level shutdown, adjustable oscillator frequency and external MOSFET drive.
