Maxim Integrated MAX38801 | Demoboard MAX38801 Evaluation Kit

Description

The MAX38801 evaluation kit (EV kit) serves as a reference platform for evaluating the MAX38801 voltage regulator IC. This single-chip, integrated switching regulator provides an extremely compact, highly efficient, fast, accurate, and reliable power delivery solution for low-output voltage applications. The MAX38801 has different programmability options to enable a wide range of configurations. The EV kit consists of a fully-assembled and tested Printed Circuit Board (PCB) implementation of the MAX38801. Jumpers, test points and input/output connectors are included for flexibility and ease-of-use. Refer to the data sheet for ordering information and more details.
