General Description
The MAX8654 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested PCB that demonstrates the capabilities of
the MAX8654 integrated 8A step-down regulator. The
EV kit generates a 3.3V output voltage at load currents
up to 8A from a 4.5V to 14V input voltage range. The
MAX8654 switches at 500kHz and provides over 93.4%
efficiency with the supplied components.
Features
o Internal 26mΩ R
