Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX77533 Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices MAX77533 Evaluation Kit is a demonstration and development platform for the MAX77533 High-Efficiency Buck Regulator. The MAX77533 is a synchronous 1.5A step-down DC-DC converter optimized for portable 2-cell and 3-cell battery-operated and USB-C applications.

The MAX77533 Evaluation Kit features a complete step-down voltage regulator reference circuit based on the MAX77533. The reference circuit includes a dual-range electronic load that allows the evaluation of loading use cases for the buck converter. Steady-state, transient, or random load profiles can be easily programmed.

A USB-to-I2C translator circuit allows a Windows®-based PC to run a graphical user interface (GUI) for easy control of the MAX77533 registers as well as the onboard electronic load.
