Maxim Integrated
General Description
The MAX16956 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX16956 36V, 300mA, 2µA ultra-low quiescent current, synchronous buck converter with integrated high-side and low-side switches. The EV kit operates over a wide input range of 3.5V to 36V, while using only 2µA quiescent current at no load (internal divider versions). The EV kit has a switching frequency of 2.1MHz and a voltage output of 3.3V at 300mA. The EV kit comes standard with the fixed 3.3V output version, but can easily be modified to evaluate the 5V or the programmable output versions of the MAX16956.
