EV kit
The MAX5391L/MAX5391N ICs can be powered from
a 1.7V, 2.6V, 3.3V, or 5V source generated from the
MINIQUSB+ interface board and EV kit circuitry, or a user-
supplied external 1.7V to 5.25V DC power supply. Order
the MAX5391LEVMINIQU+ or MAX5391NEVMINIQU+
EV system for a PC-based evaluation of the MAX5391L
or MAX5391N, respectively.
