Product Details

The MAX26240 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested application circuit that simplifies the evaluation of the MAX26240 2.1MHz, 36V buck-boost converter. All installed components are rated for the industrial temperature range. Various test points and jumpers are included for evaluation.

The standard EV kit comes with the MAX26240AFFAY+ installed (5V, 2.1MHz) and can also be used to evaluate other MAX26239 and MAX26240 variants with minimal component changes shown in the MAX26240 EV Kit Bill of Materials.
