General Description
The MAX1714A evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates
a standard 4A application circuit. This DC-DC con-
verter steps down high-voltage batteries and/or
AC adapters, generating a precision, low-voltage
rail for use as chipset, DRAM, and other low-voltage
supplies. For higher current applications up to 12A,
refer to the MAX1714A data sheet.
The MAX1714A EV kit provides a 2.5V output voltage
from a +5V to +24V battery input range. It delivers up to
4A output current with greater than 90% efficiency while
operating at a 300kHz switching frequency, and has
superior line- and load-transient response.
This EV kit is a fully assembled and tested circuit
board. It also allows evaluation of other output voltages
in the 1.0V to 5.5V range by changing feedback resis-
tors R1 and R2.
