MAX77816EVKIT#

The MAX77816EVKIT# is an evaluation kit (EV kit) for MAX77816. It is a fully assembled and tested printed circuit board (PCB) for evaluating the MAX77816 high-current, high-efficiency buck-boost regulator targeting single-cell Li-ion battery-powered applications. The IC allows 5A (typ) maximum switch current. In buck mode, the output current can go as high as 4A and in boost mode the maximum output current can be 3A. The Command Module (MINIQUSB) can be used to enable USB to I2C communication between a Windows® compatible PC and the EV kit. The EV kit software provides a Windows based graphical user interface (GUI) to exercise the various features of the IC. Typical applications include digital camera: power, E-cigarette: powers the atomizer, gas/water meters: powers the data concentrator, skin beauty products: powers high-power LEDs, smartphone: powers camera subsystem, sensor, RGB LED, SDIO, finger scanner.
