The MAX710 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a step-up DC-DC converter with a linear-regulator output. The MAX710 accepts a +1.8V to +11V input and converts it to a 3.3V or 5V output for up to 250mA currents. The EV kit is optimized for battery applications where the input varies above and below the regulated output voltage. It can be set in two modes: one optimized for lowest noise, the other for highest efficiency.
The MAX710 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board. It can also be used to evaluate the MAX711, which has an adjustable output voltage (2.7V to 5.5V). Additional pads on the board accommodate the external feedback resistors for setting different output voltages.
