Product Details
The MAX1649 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a regulated 5V output voltage from a 5.5V to 16.5V source. The circuit is configured to deliver up to 1.5A of output current using all surface-mount components. The MAX1649's low quiescent current and unique current-limited PFM control scheme provide high efficiency over a wide range of load currents.
The MAX1649 EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX1651 (3.3V output), MAX649, MAX651, and MAX652. However, the MAX1649/MAX1651 are improved versions of the MAX649/MAX651, and are recommended for new designs.
Applications
- 5V to 3.3V Green PC Applications
- Battery-Powered Applications
- High-Efficiency Step-Down Regulation
- PDAs
