The MAX38801 evaluation kit (EV kit) serves as a reference platform for evaluating the MAX38801 voltage regulator IC. This single-chip, integrated switching regulator provides an extremely compact, highly efficient, fast, accurate, and reliable power delivery solution for low output voltage applications. The MAX38801 has different programmability options to enable a wide range of configurations.
The device has different programmability options to enable a wide range of configurations. The programmable features include: internal/external reference voltage, output voltage set-point, switching frequency, overcurrent protection level (OCP), and soft-start timing. Discontinuous current mode (DCM) operation can be enabled using pin strapping to improve light-load efficiency.
