Maxim Integrated MAX15303 | Demoboard MAX15303EVKIT1

Description

MAX15303 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a provenapplication circuit design for the MAX15303 digital DC-DC controller integrated circuit (IC). The EV kit allows the user to easily modify and test the EV kit with different operating conditions. The EV kit can be used as a standalone board if desired. However, to take full advantage of the IC’s capability, the user must connect the EV kit to a PC with the Maxim Power Tool MAXPOWERTOOL002# USB-to- PMBus™ interface dongle and then control and monitor the EV kit with Maxim’s digital Power Tool graphical user interface (GUI) software. The Power Tool GUI allows a PC to control the PMBus interface and to collect real-time data from the EV kit. The Power Tool is Windows XP®, Windows Vista®, and Windows®7 compatible. It providesa simple interface for exercising the features of the IC.
