  • Product Details

    The MAX8737 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that evaluates the MAX8737 dual low-voltage linear regulator controller IC and two external MOSFETs to form a dual linear regulator circuit. The MAX8737 EV kit outputs are configured to provide 1.5V and 1.05V regulated output voltages with peak loads up to 2A and 3A, respectively.

    The MAX8737 EV kit demonstrates the MAX8737 foldback current-limit capabilities. The MAX8737 EV kit provides PC board pads to evaluate the PGOOD feature of the MAX8737 IC. The PGOOD signals can be used as system-reset signals in various applications. The MAX8737 EV kit also demonstrates the output-enable feature of the MAX8737 IC. The MAX8737 low-voltage linear regulator controller is suitable for CPU power-supply applications in notebook, desktop, and other high-current applications (such as automotive).

    Applications

    • Low-Voltage Bias Supplies
    • Notebook and Desktop Computers
    • Point-of-Load Regulators
    • Servers
    • VMCH and VCCP CPU Supplies
