Product Details
The MAX8504 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that demonstrates the MAX8504 1MHz pulse-width modulated (PWM) step-down DC-to-DC converter optimized for powering the power amplifier (PA) in wireless applications. The EV kit provides a 1.25V output from a 2.6V to 5.5V input range and can deliver 600mA of load current. The output voltage can be reconfigured to voltages in the range of 1.25V to 2.5V by adding two resistors. The MAX8504 EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX8500 and the MAX8503 converters that can dynamically control the output voltage from 0.4V to VIN.
Applications
- NCDMA/WCDMA Cellular Phones
- Wireless PDAs and Modems
