MAXIM MAX5033 Step-Down DC-DC Converter Datasheet
The MAX5033 is an easy-to-use, high-voltage, step-down DC-DC converter that operates from an input voltage up to 76V and consumes only 270µA quiescent current at no load. This pulse-width modulated (PWM) converter operates at a fixed 125kHz switching frequency at heavy loads and automatically switches to pulse-skipping mode for high efficiency at light loads.
The device includes internal frequency compensation, undervoltage lockout, cycle-by-cycle current limit, hiccup-mode output short-circuit protection, and thermal shutdown. It is available in fixed (3.3V, 5V, 12V) and adjustable voltage versions within an 8-pin SO or PDIP package.
