Conducted and Radiated Emissions
The EV kits are configured for optimum efficiency and
component size. The EV kits feature programmable
enable and input undervoltage-lockout (UVLO), soft-
start, open-drain RESET signal and external clock syn-
chronization. The EV kits also provide a good layout
example, which are optimized for conducted, radiated
EMI, and thermal performance. For more details about
the device Benefits and Features, refer to the MAX17579,
