Product Details

The MAX14918A evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX14918A, parallel controlled quad low-side switches with reverse-current detection. The MAX14918A EV kit features an isolated power and digital interface to provide pin-level control of the four low-side switches in the MAX14918A. The EV kit also features reverse-current protection to prevent damage caused by miswiring faults at output and COM return terminals. The EV kit comes with the MAX14918AATG+ in a 4mm x 5mm 24-pin TQFN package, installed as U1.
