Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX14916EVKIT Switch Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. MAX14916EVKIT Switch Evaluation Kit provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX14916, 2.4A (min) quad high-side switch with extended diagnostics. The evaluation kit includes the MAX14916 evaluation board and a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides communication from a PC to the target device through a USB port and the USB2GPIO interface board. The USB2GPIO evaluation kit should be ordered separately. The GUI is compatible with Windows 10 for exercising the features of the MAX14916 IC. The evaluation kit GUI allows individually controlling of eight high-side switches, which hardware is configured for quad high-current operation, through the high-speed SPI interface and receives diagnostic information from the MAX14916, including open-wire / open-load conditions, state of the output channels, multiple under-voltage alarms, global and per-channel over temperature alarms, and multiple fault alarms. When fully loaded, the MAX14916EVKIT must be powered from an external +24V power supply and can consume more than 10A. The USB2GPIO interface board is powered from the USB port. The MAX14916EVKIT board has a MAX14916AFM+ installed in a 48-pin, 6x6mm FC2QFN package.
