The MAX15066 EV kit evaluates the MAX15066
current-mode, synchronous, DC-DC buck converter. The
EV kit is preset for 1.8V and delivers an output current
up to 4A with high efficiency. The EV kit operates from
an input voltage of 4.5V to 16V. The EV kit provides an
adjustable output voltage from 0.606V to 90% of the
input voltage through resistor-dividers R5 and R6. The
EV kit features independent device-enable control (EN)
and power-good (PGOOD) signals that allow for flexible
power sequencing.
The EV kit utilizes an adjustable soft-start function to
limit inrush current during startup. The soft-start time is
adjusted by the value of C7, the external capacitor from
SS to GND. By default, C7 is currently 0.01μF, which
gives a soft-start time of approximately 1.2ms. To adjust
the soft-start time, determine C7 using the following
formula:
