Working Principles

The MAX4948ETG+T operates as a step-down (buck) voltage regulator. It converts a higher input voltage to a lower output voltage by controlling the duty cycle of an internal switch. The feedback pin (FB) monitors the output voltage and adjusts the duty cycle to maintain a stable output. The soft-start and tracking functions ensure controlled startup and shutdown sequences. The regulator also incorporates overcurrent and thermal protection mechanisms to prevent damage to the device and connected components.
