MAX17242EVKIT#: 3.3V @ 2A, 3.5 ~ 36 Vin, Buck

Summary

The MAX17242 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX17242 high-voltage, current-mode step-down converters with low operating current. The EV kit operates over a wide 3.5V to 36V input range and the output is set for 3.3V at 2A.

The EV kit comes with the MAX17242ETPB installed.

The MAX17242/MAX17243 high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converters with integrated MOSFETs operates over a 3.5V to 36V input voltage range, and can operate in drop-out condition by running at 99% duty cycle. The converters deliver up to 2A (MAX17242) and 3A (MAX17243) output current and generate fixed output voltages of 3.3V/5V, along with the ability to program the output voltage between 1V to 10V.
