Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX20710EVKIT Regulator Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. MAX20710EVKIT Regulator Evaluation Kit serves as a reference platform for evaluating the MAX20710 voltage-regulator IC. This single-chip, integrated switching regulator provides an extremely compact, low-cost, highly efficient, fast, accurate, and reliable power delivery solution for emerging low-output voltage applications up to 10A. The evaluation kit comprises a fully assembled and tested PCB implementation of the MAX20710. Jumper pins, test points, and input/output connectors are included for flexibility and ease of use in a wide range of applications.

The evaluation board is configured with an edge strip to allow high di/dt loading when evaluating the system. The +VOUT connection is on the top side, while the return (or -VOUT) is on the bottom side, directly mirroring the top-side strip. Either solder the load devices directly to the output strip or use the J8 terminal block to interface to a load.
