Product Details

The MAX1789 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the capabilities of the MAX1789 advanced, smart battery-pack controller. The EV kit includes multiple component networks to utilize the functionality of the Port A (PA) I/O, high-voltage (HV) outputs, SMBus™ interface, and battery-cell terminals. Each network can be configured to provide proper evaluation of the programmed device. An on-board low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator is also included to provide a 3.3V rail voltage and up to a 0.2A load current.

The MAX1789 evaluation system (EV system) includes the MAX1789 EV kit and Maxim's MINIQUSB command module. The MINIQUSB provides both an SPI™ and SMBus interface to a PC. The supplied command module allows the kit to be evaluated with the MAX1789K evaluation software, prebuilt with the MAX1789 user-interface framework.
