Product Details

The MAX77837 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested printed circuit board (PCB) that demonstrating the MAX77837 nano power buck-boost converter. The EV kit has an input range of 1.8V to 5.5V, with a switch current limit of 1.05A.

The MAX77837 IC has two hardware control pins, SEL1 and SEL2. The resistor connected at SEL1 (RSEL1) selects a predefined combination of two output voltages between 1.8V and 5.2V, OUT1 and OUT2. The resistor connected at SEL2 (RSEL2) allows different configurations of switch current limit to optimize external components size, enable or disable DVS function, select either hiccup or latch-off mode, and IC startup voltage.

The EV kit is compatible with MAX77837 WLP IC (MAX77837EWA+T) and equipped with test points and jumpers to test most of the device's functionality. In addition, there are probing sockets on critical nodes (OUT-1, LX1, and LX2) for precise measurements.
