Analog Devices Inc. MAX20830EVKIT# Evaluation Kits

Analog Devices Inc. MAX20830EVKIT# Evaluation Kits are reference design platforms designed to evaluate the MAX20830 single-output, fully integrated, highly efficient, step-down DC-DC switching regulators with a PMBus™ interface. The MAX20830 have an internal 1.8V LDO output to power the gate drives (VCC) and internal circuitry (AVDD). The devices also have an optional LDO input pin (LDOIN), allowing connection from a 2.5V to 5.5V bias input supply for optimized efficiency. The EV kit delivers up to 30A to the load. The Analog Devices EV kit is a fully assembled and tested multilayer PCB implementation with high efficiency and power density. A selection of key converter configuration parameters acting on two external resistors allows the design flexibility to match several application scenario requirements.
