Maxim Integrated
General Description
The MAX16963 is a high-efficiency, dual synchronous step-down converter that operates with a 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage range and provides a 0.8V to 3.6V output voltage range. The device delivers up to 1.5A of load current per output. The low input/output voltage range and the ability to provide high output currents make this device ideal for on-board point-of-load and postregulation applications. The device achieves Q3% output error over load, line, and temperature ranges.
