MAX5060 Evaluation Kit
The MAX5060 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a +3.3V
adjustable output voltage from a +12V input source. It
delivers up to 20A of output current with a switching frequency of 270kHz and achieves efficiencies up to 93%.
The MAX5060 single-phase, PWM controller provides
high-output-current capability in a compact package
with a minimum number of external components. The
MAX5060 utilizes average current-mode control that
offers accurate current limit and current sharing, and
avoids oversizing the MOSFETs and inductor.
Differential sensing enables accurate control of the output voltage, while adaptive voltage positioning provides
optimum transient response. An internal regulator
enables operation with +4.75V to +5.5V, or +7V to
+28V input-voltage ranges. The high switching frequency, up to 1.5MHz, allows the use of low inductor and
input capacitor values. This accommodates the use of
PCB-embedded planar magnetics, achieving superior
reliability, current sharing, thermal management, compact size, and low system cost.
The MAX5060 also features a clock input (CLKIN) for
synchronization to an external clock, and a clock output
(CLKOUT) with 180° phase delay to control a second
out-of-phase converter for lower-input-capacitor ripple
current. The MAX5060 also limits the reverse current if
the bus voltage becomes higher than the regulated output voltage. This device is specifically designed to limit
current sinking when multiple power-supply modules
are paralleled. The MAX5060 offers an adjustable
+0.6V to +5.5V (VIN > 7V) output voltage.

Quick Start
Detailed Description of Hardware
Recommended Equipment
The MAX5060 EV kit provides a +3.3V adjustable output voltage from a +12V input source. It delivers up to
20A of output current with 400LFM of airflow.
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• MAX5060 EV kit
• One DC power source capable of supplying 10A at
12V
• One voltmeter
• One load capable of sinking 30A
Procedure
The MAX5060 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount board. Follow the steps below to verify
board operation. Caution: Do not turn on the power
supply until all connections are completed.
1) Connect +VIN and COM to the DC power.
2) Connect +VOUT and COM to the load.
3) Set the load to 5A.
4) Turn on the power supply and increase the voltage
to 12V.
Remote Voltage Sensing
For high currents, there can be significant voltage drop
across the wires connecting the MAX5060 converter to
the load. To compensate for this voltage drop, the
MAX5060 EV kit includes remote sense pins that allow
the voltage to be sensed at the load. To use this feature, connect wires from VOUT_SENSE and SENSE(pins 7 and 8 of J1 on the MAX5060 EV kit) to the load.
Enable
The EN (pin 11 on the MAX5060) is internally pulled up
to VCC with 15µA of current. This allows the MAX5060
to power on when the +12V input source powers on. To
control enable with an external signal generator, connect the external signal generator to enable (pin 4 of J1
on the MAX5060 EV kit). A logic-low shuts down the
power drivers.
5) Verify the voltage at +VOUT is +3.3V.
