Additionally, the new MAX15032 employs an internal charge-pump circuit to enable low-voltage operation from 2.7V to 11V.
The MAX15032 is ideal for applications such as avalanche-photodiode, PIN-diode, and varactor-diode biasing. It is also well suited for set-top box audio IC supplies and LCD displays.
The MAX15032 utilizes a current-mode PWM architecture that switches at a constant 500 kHz frequency to ease filtering requirements.
Available in a small, 3mm x 3mm, 8-pin TDFN package, the MAX15032 is fully specified over the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range. Prices start at $1.05 (1000-up, FOB USA).
Maxim is a US-based manufacturer of linear and mixed-signal integrated circuits.
