Product Details

The MAX25232 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX25232 2.1MHz/400kHz high-voltage mini-buck converter in a 12-pin side-wettable TDFN package. All components are rated for the automotive temperature range. Various test points and jumpers are included for evaluation.

The standard EV kit comes with the MAX25232ATCA/V+ installed (5V, 2.1MHz), but it can also be used to evaluate other MAX25232 variants with minimal component changes (e.g., IC replacement of U1).

Applications

  • Automotive
  • High-Voltage DC-DC Converters
