Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX20030EVKIT Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. MAX20030EVKIT Evaluation Kit is a fully assembled and tested application circuit for the MAX20030 Automotive Dual-Synchronous Step-Down Controller with preboost and an internal LDO. The MAX20030EVKIT is set up to provide 5.0V and 3.3V from an input voltage ranging from 3.5V to 36.0V. The preboost circuit maintains the 10V supply rail for input voltages below 10V. Each buck rail can deliver up to 5A load current. Jumpers are provided to help evaluate the features of the IC. The MAX20030EVKIT Evaluation Kit can also be used to evaluate the pin-compatible MAX20031 by replacing the target IC.
