The MAX8561 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX8561/MAX8562s' up to 4MHz pulse-width modulated (PWM) step-down DC-DC converters. The two circuits are optimized for powering the DSP/microprocessor or the power amplifiers (PAs) in wireless applications. The MAX8561 circuit provides two adjustable output voltages in the 0.6V to 2.5V range from a 2.7V to 5.5V input, and can deliver 500mA of load current. In comparison, the MAX8562 circuit provides an adjustable voltage in the 0.6V to 2.5V range and a bypass mode where the output voltage is shorted to the input by an external MOSFET.
