Analog Devices Inc. MAX20810EVKIT# Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. MAX20810EVKIT# Evaluation Kit is a reference design platform designed to evaluate the MAX20810 single-output, fully integrated, highly efficient, step-down DC-DC switching regulator with PMBus™ interface. MAX20810 has an internal 1.8V LDO output to power the gate drives (V_CC) and internal circuitry (AVDD). The device also has 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 10A to the load. The EV kit package 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 design flexibility to match several application scenario requirements.
