Maxim’s switching regulators are highly efficient to support longer battery life, generate less heat, and consume less board space compared to other solutions on the market. Maxim’s broad range of DC-DC switching regulators and controllers support a variety of applications and architectures. For example, the MAX17290/MAX17292 pulse-width modulation (PWM) boost controller is suited for higher voltage applications, such as distributed supply regulation, offline power supplies, and telecom hardware. This family of highly efficient, synchronous step-up DC-DC controllers operate over a 4.5 V to 36 V input voltage range, and the input operating range can be extended to as low as 2.5 V in bootstrapped mode. Their nanoPower DC-DC regulators provide low quiescent current and small solution sizes, extending battery life for small, battery-operated applications.
