Product Details

The MAX15462B evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit board that demonstrates the performance of the MAX15462B 42V, 300mA ultra-small, high-efficiency, synchronous step-down converter. The EV kit operates over a wide 6.5V to 42V input voltage range, and provides up to 300mA at the preset 5V output. The device features undervoltage lockout, overcurrent protection, and thermal shutdown. The EV kit switches at a fixed frequency of 500kHz, and delivers a peak efficiency of 92% with the supplied components.

The EV kit comes installed with the MAX15462BATA+ in an 8-pin (2mm x 2mm) lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant TDFN package.
