Evaluation Kit for the and

The MAX16932 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested application circuit for the MAX16932 high-voltage, dual synchronous step-down controller. The EV kit is set up to provide 5V and 3.3V from an input voltage ranging from 3.5V to 36V. Each buck rail can deliver up to 5A load current. The EV kit’s switching frequency is set at 2.2MHz for both buck converters. Various jumpers are provided to help evaluate features of the MAX16932 IC. Applications
