Product Details

The MAX20415 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested PCB that demonstrates the MAX20415 highefficiency, low-voltage DC-DC converter. The synchronous step-down converters operate from a 3.0V to 5.5V input voltage range and provide a 0.8V to 3.8V output voltage range at up to 3A. The 2.2MHz switching-frequency operation allows for the use of all-ceramic capacitors and minimizes external components.

The EV kit features two on/off jumper controls and two reset outputs to indicate output status for each converter. It also provides a sync input to select the operating mode (PWM, skip, or external synchronization), and a PV_OV output as an input power-good indicator.
