Product Details

The MAX5970 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled and tested PCB used to evaluate the MAX5970 dual hot-swap controller, which provides protection for systems with two supply voltages between 0 and 16V. The on-board microcontroller, which is connected to the PC through the universal serial bus (USB) port, acts as the I²C master.

The EV kit also includes Windows® 2000-, Windows XP®-, and Windows Vista®-compatible software that provides a simple user interface for exercising the MAX5970 features. The program is menu-driven and offers a graphical user interface (GUI) complete with control buttons and status displays. The EV kit comes with the MAX5970ETX+ installed.
