MAX16602CL8EVKIT#

MAX16602CL8 evaluation kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains all of the components necessary to evaluate the MAX16602 and MAX20790. The MAX16602 is a PMBus™-compatible, multiphase voltage regulator controller for AI cores or Intel® VR13.HC server CPUs. The IC is packaged in a 56-pin, 7mm x 7mm QFN. The controller generates eight PWM control signals or phases. The EV kit is an 8-phase multiphase synchronous buck converter that uses 2-phase coupled inductors, which reduce the effective inductor value and size without excessive ripple current, thus reducing the required output capacitance and improving transient response. The EV kit also demonstrates the full functionality of the MAX20790 smart power-stage IC. The IC has monolithic integration and advanced packaging technology that allow high-switching frequencies with significantly lower losses than conventional implementations. There are eight MAX20790 devices for the main output rail.

• Small power-stage footprint: ~24mm2
• Top-tier efficiency (95.6% peak efficiency at 1.8Vout)
• Integrated input power monitor
• Digitally programmable configuration
• Input voltage, current and power monitoring
• Power-stage temperature monitoring and reporting
• Autonomous phase-shedding
• Low quiescent current improves Light-Load and Standby Efficiency
• Orthogonal current rebalance for phase-current balance during transients
• Controller i/p and bias supply undervoltage protection, power-stage supply and boost UVLO protection

Advertencias

The EV kit is designed to operate with 12V input and high current. Follow safe procedures when working with high-current electrical equipment.
