Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX20458EVKIT Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. MAX20458EVKIT Evaluation Kit is a fully assembled and tested application circuit that simplifies the evaluation of the MAX20458. The MAX20458 36V Boost Controller is an automotive-grade PMIC that includes a 3.5A synchronous buck converter and an asynchronous boost controller with 2.1MHz and 400kHz options. The MAX20458EVKIT Kit’s installed components are rated for the automotive temperature range. Various test points and jumpers are included for evaluation.

ADI MAX20458EVKIT Evaluation Kit comes with the MAX20458ATIA/VY+ installed (3.3V/ADJ, 2.1MHz) but can also be used to evaluate other MAX20458 variants with minimal component changes.
