General Description

The MAX16920B evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled 
and tested PCB used to evaluate the MAX16920B power-
management  IC  for  automotive  radios,  containing  three 
step-down converters, one linear regulator (LDO), and an 
overvoltage-protection block.
The  EV  kit  comes  with  a  MAX16920BATJ/V+  installed, 
which  is  the  2.2MHz  switching-frequency  version.  For  
the  400kHz  switching-frequency  version,  contact 
the  factory  for  free  samples  of  the  pin-compatible 
MAX16920AATJ/V+. Additional capacitors and inductors 
are provided in the EV kit for the MAX16920A.

Features
