The EV kits are configured to demonstrate the optimum
performance and component size. The EV kits pro-
vide provisions for enable/disable settings and selecting
the modes of operation (pulse-width modulation/pulse-
frequency modulation/discontinuous-conduction mode
[PWM/PFM/DCM]). The EV kits feature programmable
input undervoltage-lockout (UVLO), adjustable soft-start,
open-drain RESET signal, and external clock synchroni-
zation. The EV kits also provide a good layout example,
which is optimized for conducted, radiated EMI, and ther-
mal performance. For more details, refer to the Benefits
and Features section in the MAX17644 IC data sheet.
