Product Details

The MAX20860A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a reference platform designed for the evaluation of the MAX20860A, a dual-phase, compact, fully integrated, highly efficient, step-down DC-DC switching regulator IC. The IC is packaged in a 36-pin, 4.25mm x 10mm FC2QFN. The MAX20860A is a 60A capable point-of-load (PoL) regulator that can pair with external smart power stages to increase the load current delivery capability, up to 90A or 120A. For more information, refer to the MAX20860A IC data sheet.

The EV kit is a fully assembled and tested PCB implementation of the MAX20860A. Jumper pins, test points, and input/output connectors are included to provide a flexible and convenient use for a wide range of applications.
