Product Details
The MAX16807 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an 8-channel,constant-current LED driver, capable of driving 50mA through each channel and adapting the channel-supply voltage. Each channel can be used to drive a string of LEDs with a total forward voltage of up to 32V. The EV kit features a MAX16807 IC that integrates eight constant-current sinking outputs and a high-performance, current-mode pulse-width modulator (PWM) controller for implementing a DC-DC power converter that generates the supply voltage to drive LED strings connected to each channel by the user. The sink current for the eight channels is configurable using a single resistor.
The MAX16807 EV kit operates with supply voltages up to 16V. The EV kit circuit also features PWM dimming and shutdown control input PC pads. The MAX16807 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested board.
