ADIMAX17608EVKIT#
Overview
The MAX17608EVKIT# is a demonstration and development platform for the MAX17608 adjustable overvoltage and overcurrent protection device. It allows engineers to evaluate circuit protection features including programmable undervoltage lockout (UVLO), overvoltage lockout (OVLO), and reverse-voltage protection for rails up to 60V. The board supports up to 1A of output current and features jumper-configurable current-limit modes such as autoretry, continuous, and latch-off.
Why Choose This Part
The kit features a proven PCB layout and provides a fully assembled solution for testing three different current-limit types. It handles a wide input range from 4.5V to 60V, making it highly versatile for high-voltage industrial rails. The jumper-configurable settings allow for rapid prototyping of fault recovery behaviors without changing physical components.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Connect a DC power supply between 4.5V and 60V to the input terminals and attach your load to the output headers. Use the onboard jumpers to select the desired current-limit threshold and choose between autoretry, continuous, or latch-off fault response modes. Monitor the status signals on the provided test points to observe how the IC handles UVLO, OVLO, and thermal shutdown events.
