Working Principles

The MAX8643AETG/V+T is a synchronous step-down regulator that converts a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage. It uses a pulse-width modulation (PWM) control scheme to regulate the output voltage. The EN pin enables or disables the regulator, while the FB pin provides feedback to adjust the output voltage. The SW pin is connected to an external inductor and capacitor to form a low-pass filter, which smooths the output voltage.
