Analog Devices Inc. MAXM17537EVKIT# 15V Output Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. MAXM17537EVKIT# 15V Output Evaluation Kit is an established circuit demonstrating the high-voltage, high-efficiency, and compact-size solution of the MAXM17537 synchronous step-down DC-DC power module. The eval kit features an output voltage preset to 15V, to operate from 19V to 60V input and provide up to 3A load current. The optimal frequency is set at 700kHz to maximize efficiency and minimize component size.

The MAXM17537EVKIT# evaluation kit provides five test points. The test points are TP1 for monitoring the VCC, TP2 for monitoring the RESET, TP3 for measuring the LX voltage, TP4 for monitoring the DL voltage, and TP5 for measuring the BST voltage.
