  • Product Details

    The MAX5066 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a two-phase, dual-output buck converter with a 5V to 16V input voltage range. The MAX5066 EV kit provides dual 0.8V and 1.3V output voltages. It delivers up to 10A output current for each output with 90% efficiency. The MAX5066 EV kit uses average current-mode control and operates at 500kHz switching frequency per phase where each phase is 180° out-of-phase with respect to the other.

    This EV kit is a fully assembled and tested circuit board. Both outputs are adjustable between 0.61V and 5.5V by changing feedback resistors R4, R5, R6, and R7. Additional features include thermal-shutdown and "hiccup-mode" short-circuit protection.
