Mikroelektronika MIKROE-3100 MAX17506 Buck 5 Click DC-DC Converter

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-3100):

The MIKROE-3100 MAX17506 Buck 5 Click is a high-efficiency buck (step-down) DC/DC converter, providing digitally adjusted step-down voltage on its output while delivering a considerable amount of current. Buck 5 Click accepts a wide voltage range on its input, from 5V to 30V. The output voltage is adjustable via the SPI interface, in the range from 0.9V to approximately 5.5V. This Click board™ utilizes the MAX17506, an integrated high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC/DC converter with internal feedback compensation, from Maxim Integrated. Additionally, the MAX5401 digital potentiometer with SPI Interface is used on the feedback loop, allowing digital control of the output voltage. Type: Buck. Applications: A regulated power source for a wide range of applications, such as digital IC power supply, wall transformer regulation, single board systems, general points of load, and similar applications. On-board modules: MAX17506, a high-efficiency, synchronous step-down DC-DC converter with internal compensation, from Maxim Integrated; MAX5401, a 256-tap digital potentiometer with SPI Interface, from Maxim Integrated. Key Features: Low power dissipation due to high efficiency, three different operating modes, overcurrent, undervoltage, and thermal protection, output voltage monitoring pin, output voltage set by the industry standard SPI interface. Interface: SPI. Input Voltage: 3.3V. Click board size: L (57.15 x 25.4 mm).
