General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX77533 is a synchronous 1.5A step-down DC-DC
converter optimized for portable 2-cell and 3-cell battery-
operated and USB-C applications. The converter operates
on an input supply between 3V and 14V. Output voltage
is adjustable between 0.8V and 5V in 50mV steps through
