Product Details

The MAX20029B EV kit is a fully assembled and tested PCB that demonstrates the capabilities of the MAX20029B power-management IC (PMIC), which comprises four low-voltage step-down converters. The IC operates at a 3V to 5.5V input supply voltage, regulates to a 1V to 4V voltage range, and delivers up to 3A of current, while OUT3 and and OUT4 deliver up to 1.5A. The converters are high-frequency switchers, operating at 2.2MHz. The high switching frequency allows for reduced component values and sizes, including a single ceramic output capacitor on each rail. All channels have independent undervoltage/overvoltage comparators at both input and output, current limiting, and fault-flag outputs. The EV kit ships fully assembled and tested, ready for immediate evaluation of the IC.
