Product Details

The MAX8989 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit for evaluating the MAX8989 step-down converter with linear bypass regulator. The EV kit operates from a 2.7V to 5.5V power supply or battery. The output regulates to twice the voltage at REFIN (0.2V to 1.7V) and provides up to 2.5A drive capability.

Applications

  • LTE, WCDMA, GSM, and EDGE Cell Phones/Smartphones
