  • Product Details

    The MAX1954A evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX1954A buck controller application circuit. The EV kit generates a 1.5V output voltage at load currents up to 5A from a 10.8V to 13.2V input voltage range independent of the IC supply voltage. The MAX1954A switches at 300kHz and has better than 90% efficiency with the supplied components.

    The EV kit comes fully assembled and tested.
