Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• MAX5060 EV kit
• One DC power source capable of supplying 10A at
• One voltmeter
• One load capable of sinking 30A
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
5) Verify the voltage at +VOUT is +3.3V.
Note: Indicate that you are using the MAX5060 when contacting these component suppliers.

MAX5060 Evaluation Kit
The MAX5060 EV kit provides a +3.3V adjustable out-
put voltage from a +12V input source. It delivers up to
20A of output current with 400LFM of airflow.
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 fea-
ture, connect wires from VOUT_SENSE and SENSE-
(pins 7 and 8 of J1 on the MAX5060 EV kit) to the load.
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, con-
nect the external signal generator to enable (pin 4 of J1
on the MAX5060 EV kit). A logic-low shuts down the
power drivers.
