Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX20429 Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. MAX20429 Evaluation Kit is a fully assembled and tested application circuit for the MAX20429 dual 6A low-voltage buck converter. The MAX20429 Dual 6A High-Efficiency Low Voltage Buck Converters provides up to 6A (peak) load current per output from 0.5V to 1.5875V in 12.5mV steps and 1.6V to 3.8V in 50mV steps.

ADI MAX20429 Evaluation Kit features automotive-grade components and tests each of the outputs to full load. Various test points and jumpers are included in the kit. The standard MAX20429 Evaluation Kit comes with the MAX20429CAFNA/VY+ installed, which is factory configured for a resistor adjustable output voltage. The default MAX20429 Evaluation Kit resistor divider is bypassed with an output voltage of 0.6V on both VOUT1 and VOUT2.
