MAX15046B Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
The MAX15046B evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested circuit board that contains all the com-
ponents necessary to evaluate the performance of the
MAX15046B 10A synchronous step-down controller. The
MAX15046 IC is available in a small 16-pin QSOP pack-
age with an exposed pad.
S 5V to 40V (24V typ) Input Range
S Optional 4.5V to 5.5V Input Range
S 3.3V at 10A Output
S 350kHz Switching Frequency
S Enable Input
The MAX15046B EV kit requires a 5V to 40V input-
voltage range power supply that provides up to 7A for
normal operation. The MAX15046B EV kit output is con-
figured to 3.3V and delivers up to 10A output current.
The controller’s switching frequency is programmed to
350kHz. The MAX15046B EV kit includes PCB pads to
enable the circuit and to monitor the power-good output.
S Power-Good Output
S Fully Assembled and Tested
