Analog Devices Inc. MAX15159EVKIT# Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. MAX15159EVKIT# Evaluation Kit provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX15159 high-voltage multiphase boost/flyback controller with enhanced low-side MOSFET gate driver capability. The MAX15159 controller is designed to support single-phase, dual-phase, triple-phase, or quad-phase boost/flyback configurations. Operating from a 40V to 60V input voltage range, the evaluation kit provides a default 54V output voltage while the output voltage is configurable by changing the resistor-divider at the FB pin or by using an external REFIN input voltage in a 1.5V to 2.2V range. The EV kit uses the MAX15159 on a proven six-layer PCB design. The EV kit also features an onboard RCD circuit to provide a 10V supply voltage to the MAX15159. Two MAX15159 EV kits are required for triple- or quad-phase operation.
