Product Details

The MAX20356 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit for evaluating the MAX20356 power-management solution designed for ultra-low-power wearable applications.

A flexible set of power-optimized voltage regulators, including 3 x buck converters, a buck-boost converter, 4 x linear regulators, including an RTC LDO, and 3 x load switches, provide a high level of integration and the ability to create a fully optimized power architecture. Refer to the MAX20356 IC data sheet for detailed information regarding the operation and features of the devices.

The device is configurable through an I2C interface that allows for programming various functions and reading device status. The EV kit GUI application sends commands to the MAXPICO2PMB# adapter board to configure the device.

The EV kit comes standard with the MAX20356 EV kit version IC installed
