Product Details

The MAX713SWEVKIT-SO is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount board. The MAX713 high-current, switch-mode battery charger controls a P-channel power MOSFET, allowing charge currents up to 1A. Switch-mode operation typically provides 75%-efficient conversion, reducing heat compared to linear-regulator solutions.

The MAX713SWEVKIT can also be used to evaluate the MAX712 just by replacing the MAX713CSE with a MAX712CSE.
