Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX17225 Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices MAX17225 Evaluation Kit is designed to quickly demonstrate the functionality and versatility of the MAX17220 – MAX17225 ICs. The MAX17220 – MAX17225 DC-DC Converters are ultra-low quiescent current boost (step-up) DC-DC converters with a 225mA/0.5A/1A peak inductor current limit and True Shutdown™. True Shutdown disconnects the output from the input with no forward or reverse current. The output voltage is selectable using a single standard 1% resistor. The MAX17225 Evaluation Kit features two independent circuits to evaluate two different IC packages of the MAX17220–MAX17225. The dual circuits operate over an input range of 400mV to 5.5V, depending on load, with a 0.88V typical startup and a 3kΩ load. Each circuit delivers resistor-configurable output voltages from 1.8V to 5V in 100mV/step.

Analog Devices MAX17225 Evaluation Kit includes the MAX17225ELT+ and MAX17225ENT+ installed.
