Product Details

The MAX16836 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates a current-controlled, high-output-current LED driver based on the MAX16836 current regulator. The EV kit is capable of supplying regulated output currents of up to 350mA and runs at supply voltages between 6.5V to 40V.

The MAX16836 EV kit features a PWM dimming control, user-selectable three-level output-current setting, and a 5V regulated output, which supplies up to 4mA of output current. The MAX16836 EV kit also evaluates the MAX16835 IC; contact the factory for a free sample of the MAX16835 IC.
