MAX17613B - Overcurrent, Overvoltage, Undervoltage Circuit Protection Evaluation Board
Active

Overview

The MAX17613BEVKIT# is a demonstration and development platform for the MAX17613B, a high-voltage, high-current integrated system protector. This evaluation kit allows engineers to test overvoltage (OV), undervoltage (UV), and three distinct types of current-limit protection for loads up to 3A and supply voltages up to 60V.

Why Choose This Part

The board features a highly flexible design with jumpers for configuring current-limit thresholds and response types (Autoretry, Continuous, or Latch-off). It includes a proven PCB layout with onboard LEDs for immediate visual feedback on fault status (UVOV and FLAG) and dedicated test points for easy oscilloscope monitoring.

Applications

Industrial Control Systems
Protecting sensitive PLC and sensor electronics from bus surges and improper supply wiring.
Power Supply Protection
Adding a robust protection layer to downstream DC-DC converters in 24V or 48V industrial rails.
Hot-Swap Management
Utilizing the programmable startup blanking time to manage inrush currents during board insertion.
