MAX17505 5V Output Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX17505 5V 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 5V output at load currents up
to 1.7A and features a 500kHz 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.
Features
● Operates from a 6.5V to 60V Input Supply
● 5V Output Voltage
● Up to 1.7A Output Current
● 500kHz Switching Frequency
● Enable/UVLO Input, Resistor-Programmable UVLO
Threshold
● Adjustable Soft-Start Time
● MODE Pin to Select Among PWM, PFM, or DCM
Modes
● Open-Drain RESET Output
● External Frequency Synchronization
● Overcurrent and Overtemperature Protection
● Proven PCB Layout
● Fully Assembled and Tested

*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.
