Overview

The MAX38904DEVK#WLP is an evaluation kit for the MAX38904D, a high-current, ultra-low noise linear regulator. This board provides a 1.5V output from a 1.7V to 5.5V input range while delivering up to 2A of current. It is designed to demonstrate the low 5.1 nV/rtHz noise density and high performance of the WLP package variant.

Why Choose This Part

The kit features a proven 2-layer, 1-oz copper PCB layout optimized for thermal performance and minimal noise. Its ultra-low noise density of 5.1 nV/rtHz makes it one of the cleanest 2A LDO solutions available for noise-sensitive analog rails.

Applications

High-Speed ADC/DAC Power
Providing clean, low-noise rails for high-resolution data converters to maintain signal integrity.
RF Transceiver Bias
Powering sensitive radio frequency components where phase noise must be minimized.
Precision Instrumentation
Ideal for sensor signal chains requiring stable, noise-free power in a compact footprint.
