General Description
The MAX8723 is a high-efficiency, switch-mode, stepdown regulator with a 14V internal power switch. With only a few external passive components, this low-cost regulator can generate a fixed 3.3V or adjustable DC output voltage of 2.0V to 3.6V (dual mode) from a 6V to 13.2V DC source. The 13.2V input voltage range makes this part ideal for LCD displays, point-of-load regulators, and other 8/12V powered industrial equipment applications.
