Product Details

The MAX20014 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested PCB that demonstrates the MAX20014 power management IC (PMIC). The EV kit includes three highefficiency, low-voltage DC-DC converters: OUT1 boosts a 3.3V input to 5V at up to 500mA, while two synchronous step-down converters (OUT2, OUT3) provide adjustable output voltages down to 0.8V at up to 3A. The 2.2MHz switching-frequency operation allows for the use of allceramic capacitors and minimizes external components.

The EV kits feature three on/off jumper controls, and three reset outputs to indicate output status for each converter. It also provides SYNC input to select the operating mode (PWM, skip, or external synchronization).
