MAX26406 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates MAX26404/MAX26405/MAX26406

General Description
The MAX26406 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX26406, 2.1MHz synchronous Silent Switcher® buck converter in a 17-pin, side-wettable FC2QFN package. The various test points and jumpers are included for the evaluation.
The MAX26406 EV kit comes with the MAX26406AFOBY+ installed (2.1MHz, 3.3V). The MAX26406 EV kit output voltage is fixed and is easily configured with minimum component changes. Use this EV kit to evaluate all variants of the MAX26404/MAX26405/MAX26406 with minimal component changes.
Benefits and Features

Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. To verify the board operation, do the following steps:
1. While observing safe electrostatic discharge (ESD) practices, carefully remove the MAX26406 EV kit board out of its packaging. Inspect the board to ensure that no damage occurred during shipment. Jumpers/shunts are preinstalled prior to testing and packaging.
2. Verify that all jumpers are in their default positions, as shown in Table 1.
3. Connect the positive and negative terminals of the power supply to the VSUP_FILTER and GND test pads, respectively.
4. Connect the positive terminal of the voltmeter to VOUT and the negative terminal to GND3.
5. Set the power supply voltage to 14V. Turn on the power supply.
6. Make sure that the voltmeter displays an output voltage of 3.3V.
7. Connect the electronic load positive terminal to VOUT and the negative terminal to GND3. Set the load to 1A.
8. Turn on the electronic load and increase the current to 6A.
9. Make sure that the voltmeter displays the output voltage of 3.3V ± 1.8%.

MAX26406 Evaluation Kit

Detailed Description
The MAX26406 EV kit provides a proven layout for all variants of the MAX26404/MAX26405/MAX26406 synchronous buck regulator. The device accepts input voltages as high as 36V and delivers up to 6A (5A for MAX26405, 4A for MAX26404).
Synchronization Input (SYNC)
The device can operate in two modes: Forced-PWM (FPWM) or Skip mode. Skip mode has better efficiency for light-load conditions. When SYNC is pulled low, the IC operates in Skip mode for light loads and PWM mode for larger loads. When SYNC is pulled high, the device is forced to operate in PWM mode across all load conditions.
SYNC is also used to synchronize with an external clock. The device operates in FPWM mode when SYNC is connected to an external clock.
Buck Output Monitoring (PGOOD)
This EV kit provides a power-good output test point (PGOOD) to monitor the status of the buck output (OUT). PGOOD is high impedance when the output is in regulation. PGOOD is low impedance when the output voltage drops below 7% (typ) of its nominal regulated voltage.
Programming Buck Output Voltage
The EV kit comes installed with MAX26406AFOBVY+, which can provide a fixed 3.3V output voltage or an adjustable 0.8V to 10V output voltage. To program VOUT voltage, place appropriate resistors in the positions R7 and R8 according to the following equation:
7 = 8 × ( - 1) where VFB = 0.8V and R8 = 10k~100k.
Replace output capacitors C12 to C15 with appropriate capacitors according to Table 1. Recommended Components for Adjustable Output Voltage, as shown in the MAX26404/MAX26405/MAX26406 data sheet. A feedforward capacitor C16 in parallel with R7 is also recommended for the adjustable output configuration. For the C16 value, refer to the MAX26404/MAX26405/MAX26406 data sheet.
Evaluating Other Variants
The EV kit comes installed with the 3.3V/2.1MHz, 6A variant (MAX26406AFOBY+). The other MAX26404/MAX26405/MAX26406 variants can be installed with minimal component changes.
