Product Details

The MAX17048X/MAX17049X evaluation kits (EV kits) include the MAX17048X/MAX17049X EV kit and the Maxim DS91230+ command module. Windows XP®-, Windows Vista®-, and Windows® 7-compatible software is also available for use with the evaluation kit and can be downloaded from www.maximintegrated.com/evkitsoftware.
The EV kits are fully assembled and tested surface-mount PCBs that evaluate the MAX17048X/MAX17049X host or battery-side fuel gauge for 1-cell/2-cell lithium-ion (Li+) batteries in handheld and portable equipment. The EV kits can be powered from a single battery (MAX17048X) and configured to evaluate a single lithium cell (MAX17048X) or from two lithium cells in series (MAX17049X).
