Analog Devices Inc. MAX77533 Evaluation Kit
Analog Devices MAX77533 Evaluation Kit is a demonstration and development platform for the MAX77533 High-Efficiency Buck Regulator. The MAX77533 is a synchronous 1.5A step-down DC-DC converter optimized for portable 2-cell and 3-cell battery-operated and USB-C™ applications. The MAX77533 Evaluation Kit features a complete step-down voltage regulator reference circuit based on the MAX77533. The reference circuit includes a dual-range electronic load that evaluates loading use cases for the buck converter. Steady-state, transient, or random load profiles can be easily programmed. A USB-to-I2C translator circuit allows a Windows®-based PC to run a graphical user interface (GUI) to control the MAX77533 registers and the onboard electronic load easily.
Features
- Proven PCB reference design and layout
- Easy to use
- Simple hardware control: jumpers and test points for EN, BIASEN, and Power-OK
- GUI drives an I2C interface for optional software control
- Fully assembled and tested
- Onboard electronic load emulates system loading: Steady-State, Transient, and Random modes
- USB to I2C converter allows for easy communication
