Hobbyists probably don't use Maxim parts - they're just too durn expensive - I always wonder who can afford to buy their stuff.

From what I can see on the ARROW web site http://www.arrow.com this particular IC is reserve for large manufacturers. Arrow a fairly but there is quite a variety of prices. I chose Arrow as they are well represented around the world. I purchaced the MAX1676 DC-DC converter Eval Kit from them and found it cheaper than buying direct from Maxim. I also found that I can buy small quantities for research and have good prices for quantities Arrow seem to distribute many components.
