Evaluates: MAX17505 in
3.3V Output-Voltage Application
MAX17505 3.3V Output Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX17505 3.3V output evaluation kit (EV kit) provides
a proven design to evaluate the MAX17505 high-voltage,
high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC-DC convert-
er. The EV kit is preset for 3.3V output at load currents
up to 1.7A and features a 450kHz switching frequency for
optimum efficiency and component size. The EV kit
features adjustable input undervoltage lockout, adjust-
able soft-start, open-drain RESET signal, and external
frequency synchronization.

Component List
*EP = Exposed pad.
Note: C7, R1, and R2 are optional components; R1 and R2 are
not needed if the EN/UVLO pin is permanently connected to
VIN. The electrolytic capacitor (C7) is required only when the
VIN power supply is situated far from the MAX17505-based
circuit. When R5 is open, the device switches at 500kHz
switching frequency. The XAL6060 inductor has been used to
prepare the EV kit test report.
