Product Details

The MAX1760 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains a boost switching-regulator circuit. The EV kit provides a regulated +3.3V output at up to 800mA of current. The input voltage range is +0.7V to +5.5V. However, the output voltage will rise above the regulation point for input voltages exceeding 3.3V. A one- or two-cell battery input can also be used to power the EV kit.

The MAX1760 features an internal N-channel MOSFET switch, a synchronous rectifier, and a pin-selectable forced PWM mode. The MAX1760 EV kit demonstrates low quiescent current and power efficiency up to 96%, thus increasing battery life. Operation at 1MHz allows the use of tiny surface-mount components.
