The MAX8620Y evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that evaluates
the MAX8620Y power-management IC. The MAX8620Y IC features a 500mA adjustable step-down DC-DC converter, two 300mA low-dropout linear regulators
(LDOs), and a reset function.
The MAX8620Y EV kit is configured to operate over a
2.7V to 5.5V input range. The MAX8620Y EV kit stepdown
converter's output voltage is configured for 1.8V
at 500mA, and the two LDOs can be configured
through jumpers to nine different output voltages in the
1.8V to 3.3V range. This makes the MAX8620Y suitable
for DSP or microprocessor (µP) power-management
applications in handsets, PDAs, smartphones, and
other portable applications.
