The use of internal MOSFETs enables these devices to operate efficiently from low input voltages, which is not possible with large, discrete MOSFETs.

Maxim describes its MAX8833 and MAX8855 as the industry's first step-down regulators to operate from 3.3 or 2.5V inputs, provide dual 3 or 5A outputs (respectively), and integrate switches that maximise space savings In addition to saving space, the use of internal MOSFETs enables these devices to operate efficiently from low input voltages, which is not possible with large, discrete MOSFETs
