Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX77932EVKIT Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices MAX77932EVKIT Evaluation Kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount PCB that provides a demonstration platform for the MAX77932C 8A Dual-Phase Switched-Capacitor Converter (SCC). The MAX77932EVKIT features onboard jumpers which allow easy configuration, and test points give access to the key pin signals. The MAX77932EVKIT Evaluation Kit also features an integrated USB interface and includes a USB micro-B cable. A Windows-based Graphic User Interface (GUI) software is available for use with the Analog Devices MAX77932EVKIT Evaluation Kit, giving the user complete control of all functions of the MAX77932C. A Python-based script system is embedded in the software to allow automating or configuring multiple registers sequentially with ease.
