MAX15038ETG+T

The MAX15038 high-efficiency switching regulator delivers up to 4A load current at output voltages from 0.6V to 90% of VIN. The IC operates from 2.9V to 5.5V, making it ideal for on-board point-of-load and postregulation applications. Total output error is less than ± 1 % over load, line, and temperature ranges.
