Product Details

The MAX15038 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX15038 4A, 2MHz step-down regulator with integrated switches for enterprise-server, telecommunication, computing, and networking power-supply applications. The EV kit is preset for a 1.8V output voltage at load currents up to 4A from a 2.9V to 5.5V input-voltage range. A 1MHz switching frequency and up to 95% efficiency (with the supplied components) is achieved by the EV kit.

The MAX15038 EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX15039 step-down regulator.
