The MAX8720 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the
high-power, dynamically adjustable notebook CPU
applications circuit. This DC-DC converter steps down
high-voltage batteries and/or AC adapters, generating
a precision, low-voltage CPU core VCC rail.
The MAX8720 EV kit provides a digitally adjustable
0.275V to 1.85V output voltage from a 7V to 24V battery
input range. It delivers up to 15A output current. The EV
kit operates at 300kHz switching frequency and has
superior line- and load-transient response.
The MAX8720 has independent four-level logic inputs
for setting the suspend voltage (S0-S1). Precision slewrate
control provides just-in-time arrival at the new DAC
setting, minimizing surge currents to and from
the battery.
This EV kit is a fully assembled and tested circuit board.
