MAX6384XS17D1+T

MAX6384XS17D1+T is a Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) switching regulator IC. It belongs to the MAX6384 family of high‑efficiency DC‑DC converters used to convert a low-voltage source (e.g., battery or USB rail) into a stable output rail for microcontrollers and peripherals. The XS17D1+T suffix specifies the package/variant: a 17‑pin XS‑series leadframe/package with RoHS/compliant lead finish (temperature grade indicated by +T).
Key points:
- Switching regulator (DC‑DC converter) for efficient voltage conversion
- Typically supports low input voltages with adjustable or fixed output via a feedback network
- Includes protections (enable/soft‑start, overcurrent, thermal)
- Small footprint suitable for portable/automotive applications
Typical application areas: handheld devices, battery-powered systems, and other power‑sensitive electronics.
What you’ll need to complete a design: an inductor, input/output capacitors, a catch diode if not a synchronous design, and a feedback resistor network per the datasheet. Check the datasheet for exact pinout, voltage ranges, and programming options.

MAX6384XS17D1+T is the MAX6384 in a leadless XSON-17 package (17 pins with exposed pad); D1 = industrial temp range; +T = tape-and-reel packaging. Check the datasheet for exact dimensions.

- Pin count: 16 pins (package variant XS17D1+T).
- Function: High-efficiency DC-DC converter (boost/step-up regulator) used to generate a higher output voltage from a lower input, with integrated switch and feedback/enable pins for power-management in portable electronics.

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI).
What kind of company: A global semiconductor company that designs and markets analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits; historically fabless (uses external foundries for manufacturing).
