Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX17634xEVKIT Converter Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. MAX17634xEVKIT Converter Evaluation Kit provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX17634A (3.3V), MAX17634B (5V), or MAX17634C (5V). The MAX17634 devices are high-voltage, high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converters. The kit is preset for 3.3V or 5V output at load currents of 4.25A and features a 400kHz switching frequency for optimum efficiency and component size. The evaluation kit features an adjustable input under-voltage lockout, adjustable soft-start, open-drain RESET signal, and external clock synchronization. Evaluation kit specifications, settings, features, and benefits are highlighted. The evaluation kit layout is optimized for conducted, radiated EMI, and thermal performance.
