MAX1858 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
ꢀ 8V to 20V Input Voltage Range
ꢀ 1.8V and 2.5V Adjustable Output Voltages
ꢀ 10A Output Current (2.5V Output)
ꢀ 10A Output Current (1.8V Output)
ꢀ Lossless Foldback Current Limit
ꢀ 600kHz Switching Frequency
The MAX1858 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the
MAX1858’s standard application circuit. This dual PWM
synchronous DC-to-DC converter generates outputs
down to 0.75V for core, I/O, and logic supplies.
The MAX1858 EV kit provides dual 1.8V and 2.5V output
voltages from an 8V to 20V input voltage range. It delivers
up to 10A output current for the 2.5V output and 10A for
the 1.8V output with greater than 90% efficiency. Both
converters operate 180 degrees out-of-phase to reduce
input ripple current. The EV kit operates at 600kHz
switching frequency and has superior line- and load-
transient response.
ꢀ RST Output with 140ms Delay
ꢀ 180 Degrees Out-of-Phase Operation
ꢀ 24-Pin QSOP Package
ꢀ Low-Profile Components
This EV kit is a fully assembled and tested circuit board.
It allows evaluation of other output voltages in the 0.75V
to 15V range. The MAX1858 EV kit can also be used to
evaluate the MAX1875 and MAX1876.
