The MAX8597 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates
the MAX8597/MAX8598/MAX8599 step-down DC-DC
controller application circuits. The EV kit contains two
circuits. The MAX8597 circuit demonstrates a voltage-controlled
power supply used for DC fan control capable
of up to 10A of current. This circuit accepts inputs
from 10.8V to 13.2V and generates an output of 6V to
12V depending on the VADJ input. The MAX8598/MAX8599 circuit demonstrates a point-of-load power
supply. The circuit accepts inputs from 10.8V to 13.2V
and delivers 20A of current at a 1.2V output.
The MAX8597 circuit switches at 600kHz and has up to
97% efficiency with the supplied components. The
MAX8598/MAX8599 circuit comes with the MAX8599
installed. It switches at 500kHz and has up to 87% efficiency
with the supplied components. This circuit can
be used to evaluate the MAX8598 with no external component
changes. This EV kit comes fully assembled
and tested.
