Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX2000x Evaluation Kits

Analog Devices MAX2000x Evaluation Kits demonstrate the MAX20004/MAX20006/MAX20008 step-down converters. The kits operate over a wide 3.5V to 36V input range. The output is set for 5V in the default configuration and can be adjusted between 1V and 10V with appropriate components. The MAX20004/ MAX20006/MAX20008 current limit supports a nominal output current of 4A/6A/8A.
