MAX1819 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX1819 linear regulator evaluation kit (EV kit) pro-
vides a regulated 1.8V output voltage from a 2.5V to 5.5V
input source. It delivers up to 500mA output current.
Features
ꢀ 2.5V to 5.5V Input Voltage Range
ꢀ Up to 500mA Output Current
ꢀ Output Voltage
The EV kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount
PC board. It can also evaluate other output voltages in
the 1.25V to 5.0V range by using external resistors.

3) Connect a 2.5V to 5.5V supply to the VIN pad.
Connect the supply ground to the GND pad closest
to VIN.
4) Turn on the power supply and verify that the output
is the preset voltage of 1.8V.
To evaluate other voltages, see the Evaluating Other
Output Voltages section.
