Electrical scope
Use 8–40 V and 180 kHz as manufacturer family specifications. Any output-current statement must retain the datasheet circuit, temperature and thermal conditions.
Manufacturer model / selection entry
XL4016 High-Current Buck Converter IC – Datasheet & RFQ
XL4016 is a bare 180 kHz high-current buck-converter IC in TO220-5L; the manufacturer selector lists an 8–40 V input range and a 12 A switching-current class.
Buyer and engineer answers
What must be established before ordering
Statements below are scoped to the named manufacturer source. Commercial availability is deliberately separate.
Package and ordering
The device is listed in TO220-5L. XL4016E1, 50 per tube and 1,000 per carton are exact-SKU ordering facts that require the current manufacturer table.
IC and application boundary
This is an IC rather than an assembled high-current module. External magnetics, diode, PCB copper, airflow and junction temperature determine system performance.
Publication safeguard
The claim boundary travels with the page.
The 12 A class must always be presented with manufacturer test and thermal conditions, never as a universal continuous guarantee.

Procurement FAQ
Questions this exact page answers
Compatibility answers remain conditional where the source evidence does not establish a direct replacement.
XL4016 vs XL4015?
Compare input range, current class, package and the complete thermal/application conditions.
Is 12A guaranteed under all conditions?
No. It is not an unconditional continuous-output promise for every circuit or temperature.
IC or assembled module?
XL4016 is the semiconductor IC; a module is a separate board-level product.
