MAX8576 Evaluation Kit

Active: In Production.

The MAX8576 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit board that evaluates the MAX8576 and MAX8578 hysteretic, synchronous step-down DC-DC converters. The MAX8576 circuit generates a 1.8V output voltage at load currents up to 12A from a 10.8V to 13.2V input voltage range. The MAX8578 circuit uses an all-ceramic capacitor solution to generate a 1.8V output voltage at load currents up to 5A from a 10.8V to 13.2V input voltage with V_CC supply from an additional 4.5V to 5.5V supply. The MAX8576 circuit switches at approximately 300kHz, and the MAX8578 circuit switches at approximately 500kHz. Both devices have up to 93% efficiency with the supplied components. The MAX8576 EV kit also evaluates the MAX8577 and MAX8579. To evaluate the MAX8577 or MAX8579, order a free sample along with this EV kit.
