Evaluation Kit for the MAX17620 Synchronous Step-Down DC-DC Converter
Manufactured By:Maxim Integrated
Part Number:MAX17620EVKIT
The MAX17620 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit board that demonstrates the performance of the MAX17620 high-frequency, miniature 600mA step-down DC-DC converter. The EV kit is preset for 1.8V output at load currents up to 600mA. The EV kit features selectable forced-PWM/skip mode, open-drain PGOOD signal, and external enable (EN).
The MAX17620 is a high-frequency, high-efficiency synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with integrated MOSFETs that operates over a 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage range. The device supports up to 600mA load current and 1.5V to 100% VIN output voltage. High-frequency operation enables the use of small, low-cost inductors and capacitors.
