MAXIM MAX1625EVKIT

MAX1625 Evaluation Kit
The MAX1625 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a 2.5V
output voltage from a 4.5V to 5.5V input. It delivers up
to 5A output current with greater than 90% efficiency.
The MAX1625 features a resistor-programmable switching frequency from 100kHz to 1MHz, as well as currentmode operation for superior load- and line-transient
response. This EV kit operates at a 500kHz switching
frequency. It can also be used to evaluate other output
voltages by changing feedback resistors R2 and R3.

_________________________Quick Start
The MAX1625 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow these steps to verify board operation. Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
1) Connect a 5V supply voltage to the VIN pad. The
ground connects to the GND pad.
2) Connect a voltmeter and load, if any, to the VOUT
pad.
3) Remove the shunt from JU1.
4) Turn on the power supply to the board. Verify that
the output voltage is 2.5V.
