Product Details

The MAX849 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled and tested PC board that implements a complete, one-cell to three-cell, high-power, low-noise, step-up DC-DC power converter that's ideal for portable phones and other battery-operated equipment. With a 3.3V output voltage, use one or two cells to get a 250mA to 700mA output current. With a 5V output voltage, use three cells or one lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery to get an 850mA output current.

The board includes clips for a standard AA-size battery, and provides a 10-pin header for user interfacing.

To evaluate the MAX848, order a free sample of the MAX848ESE along with the MAX849 EV kit.
