ANALOG DEVICES MAX25614EVKIT# Evaluation Kit, Boost, 5 to 18VDC in, 32V/5A out, 1 Output, I2C, PWM

MAX25614EVKIT# is a MAX25614 evaluation kit (EV kit) that provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX25614A/MAX25614B/MAX25614C/MAX25614D automotive infrared LED Driver. The EV kit has an I2C interface with MAX32625PICO microcontroller that enables programming parameters such as LED current, LED slew rate, switching frequency, etc. This also helps with fault monitoring and signal sensing. The EV kit operates from a 5V to 18V DC supply voltage. It is configured to deliver up to 5A to one or two strings of LEDs. The total voltage of the string can vary from 0V to 32V. The high-current driver uses fixed-frequency average current-mode control. The LEDs can be connected by using the on-board IR LEDs or using on-board external connection pads. The anode of the LED string should be connected to the LED1+ terminal. For two string applications, connect one string anode to LED1+ and connect the second-string anode to LED2+.
