Working Principles

The MAX8662ETM+T is a step-down DC-DC converter that uses a high-frequency switching technique to efficiently convert the input voltage to a lower output voltage. It employs a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme to regulate the output voltage based on the feedback received from the FB pin. The internal switch (SW) alternates between connecting the input voltage (VIN) to the inductor (LX) and disconnecting it, resulting in energy transfer to the output capacitor (COUT). This process ensures a stable and regulated output voltage.
