MAX16602CL8EVKIT#

MAX16602CL8EVKIT# is a MAX16602CL8 evaluation kit (EV kit) which is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains all of the components necessary to evaluate the MAX16602. The MAX16602 is a PMBus™-compatible, multiphase voltage regulator controller for AI cores or Intel® VR13.HC server CPUs. The IC is packaged in a 56-pin, 7mm x 7mm QFN. The controller generates eight pulse-width modulated (PWM) control signals or phases. The EV kit is an 8-phase multiphase synchronous buck converter that uses 2-phase coupled inductors, which reduce the effective inductor value and size without excessive ripple current, thus reducing the required output capacitance and improving transient response. The IC has monolithic integration and advanced packaging technology that allow high-switching frequencies with significantly lower losses than conventional implementations.

• High power density and efficiency: Integrated Input Power Monitor
• Telemetry via PMBus(digitally programmable config), power-stage temperature monitor, reporting
• Input voltage, current and power monitoring
• Advanced power management: autonomous phase-shedding, power-stage boost refresh
• Orthogonal current rebalance for phase-current balance during transients
• Low quiescent current-improves light-load and standby efficiency
• Controller I/P and bias supply undervoltage protection, power-stage supply and boost UVLO protection
• Power-stage VX short and overtemperature shutdown, fast overcurrent protection
• Proven PCB layout
• Fully assembled and tested

Warnings

The EV kit is designed to operate with 12V input and high current. Follow safe procedures when working with high-current electrical equipment.
