General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX77503 is a synchronous 1.5A step-down DC-
DC converter optimized for portable 2-cell and 3-cell bat-
tery-operated and USB-C applications. The converter op-
erates on an input supply between 3V and 14V. Output
voltage is adjustable between 0.8V and 5V in 50mV steps
