The MAX727/MAX728/MAX729 are monolithic, bipolar, pulse-width modulation (PWM), switch-mode, step-down DC-DC regulators. Each is rated at 2A. Very few external components are needed for standard operation because the power switch, oscillator, feedback, and control circuitry are all on-chip. Employing a classic buck topology, these regulators perform high-current step-down functions.
