Output Voltage
3.3 V
Output Current
1 A
The EV kit operates at 600kHz switching frequency and
allows the use of a tiny inductor. The switching frequen-
cy can also be synchronized to an external clock rang-
ing from 360kHz to 700kHz. The 2-pin headers JU2 and
JU3 select the operating mode (Tables 2 and 3).
The EV kit output is preset to +3.33V. However, the out-
put voltage can also be adjusted between 1.25V and

greater than +5.5V, cut the trace between pins 1 and 2
of JU4, and short pins 2 and 3 of JU4. Refer to the
Detailed Description section of the MAX1684/
MAX1685 data sheet for further details.
This EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX1684.
Simply replace the MAX1685 with a MAX1684EEE, and
change L1 to a 22µH, 1.7A inductor. Refer to the
Inductor Selection section of the MAX1684/MAX1685
data sheet for more information.
