Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAXM17625/MAXM17626 Evaluation Kits

Analog Devices MAXM17625/MAXM17626 Evaluation Kits is a platform for evaluating the performance of the MAXM17625/MAXM17626 Himalaya uSLIC™ Step-Down Power Modules. The MAXM17625/MAXM17626 are high-frequency Himalaya synchronous step-down DC-DC modules with integrated MOSFETs, compensation components, and inductors. Each of the modules is configured to demonstrate optimum performance and component sizes in the Evaluation Kits.

The MAXM17625 module delivers up to 600mA at a switching frequency of 2MHz. The module is configured for a 1.5V output over a 2.7V to 5.5V input range. The MAXM17626 module delivers up to 600mA at a switching frequency of 4MHz. The module is configured for a 3.3V output over a 3.6V to 5.5V input range.

The Analog Devices MAXM17625/MAXM17626 Evaluation Kits allow selection of mode of operation (PWM/PFM) and enable input. The Kits offer a proven PCB layout and are fully assembled and tested.
