Analog Devices MAX77511 Evaluation Kit (MAX77711AEVKIT) is a fully assembled and tested demonstration platform for the MAX77711 Quad-Phase Buck Converter. The Evaluation Kit can also be used to demonstrate the MAX77511. The MAX77711 and MAX77511 are four-phase, 3A/phase, configurable step-down buck regulators for 1s/2s Li+ battery inputs. Both ICs are the same, except the MAX77711 integrates a 300mA PMOS low-dropout linear voltage regulator (LDO). Analog Devices MAX77511 Evaluation Kit provides a reference design for a step-down voltage regulator circuit using the IC to easily evaluate each feature. The circuit is capable of 2.3V to 10V input, 3A/phase continuous load, and output voltage adjustable between 0.25V and 5.2V.
This kit supports the evaluation of each converter phase (Φ) configuration:
Three onboard transient loads allow users to exercise the full capability of the buck regulator or LDO. Microsoft Windows-based software provides a friendly graphical user interface (GUI) and a detailed register-based interface to exercise all the features of the IC.
