Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX16602CL8EVKIT Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices MAX16602CL8EVKIT Evaluation Kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board. The Analog Devices kit contains all of the components necessary to evaluate the MAX16602 and MAX20790 and is an 8-phase multiphase synchronous buck converter. It uses 2-phase coupled inductors, which reduce the effective inductor value and size without excessive ripple current. This reduces the required output capacitance and improves transient response.
