Product Details

The MAX20743 Evaluation Kit (EV kit) serves as a reference platform for evaluating the MAX20743 voltage regulator IC. This single-chip, integrated switching regulator provides an extremely compact, low-cost, highly efficient, fast, accurate, and reliable power-delivery solution for emerging low output-voltage applications up to 35A. Refer to the MAX20743 IC data sheet for more information.

The EV kit consists of a fully assembled and tested PCB implementation of the MAX20743. Jumper pins, test points, and input/output connectors are included for flexibility and ease of use in a wide range of applications.

The evaluation board is configured with an “edge strip” to allow high di/dt loading when evaluating the system. The +VOUT connection is on the top side, while the return (or -VOUT) is on the bottom side, directly mirroring the topside strip.

Either solder directly to the output “strip” or use the J8 terminal block to interface to a load.
