Product Details

The MAX78615+PPM evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the capability of the MAX78615+PPM. The MAX78615+PPM chipset monitors up to three voltages and three currents through up to three galvanically isolated ADCs. The typical application is source/load monitoring in single and polyphase systems. The EV kit connects to a PC through a USB cable that provides both power and data communication to the board. A Windows®-based graphical user interface (GUI) communicates with the device over a virtual COM port for simplified access to measurement data and controls.

The MAX78615+PPM IC data sheet provides all the details on signal processing, operations, and settings. It also includes the registers map with descriptions. The IC data sheet should be used along with this manual during the setup and evaluation phase of the MAX78615+PPM.
