Product Details

The MAX15023 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested PCB that contains all the components necessary to evaluate the performance of the MAX15023 dual, synchronous step-down controller.

The MAX15023 EV kit requires a 9V to 16V DC power supply, which provides up to 5A for normal operation. The EV kit provides 1.2V/10A and 3.3V/5A at the outputs. Each step-down controller operates 180° out-of-phase to reduce input-voltage ripple and total RMS input ripple current.

The converters' switching frequency is programmed to 500kHz. The EV kit includes individual enable control PCB pads for each converter and power-good outputs for both converters that can be configured for power-supply sequencing of the outputs.
