Analog Devices Inc. MAX15162TAEVKIT/MAX15162TLEVKIT Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices Inc. MAX15162TAEVKIT/MAX15162TLEVKIT Circuit Breaker Evaluation Kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains all components necessary to evaluate the MAX15162ATG+/MAX15162AATG+. The MAX15162ATG+/MAX15162AATG+ is a dual-channel circuit breaker IC for power amplifier systems. The IC is in a compact 24-pin, 4mm x 4mm TQFN package. The evaluation kit is powered from an 8VDC to 60VDC supply and can be configured as two independent single-channel or one parallel dual-channel circuit breaker. The evaluation kit provides multi-level over current-limit protection and pin-strap programmable current-limit level up to 1.5A for each channel.

The evaluation kit demonstrates the full functionality of the MAX15162ATG+/MAX15162AATG+. Features include IN-OUT short protection during startup, inrush current control, input undervoltage-lockout (UVLO), programmable overcurrent shutdown delay time, and fast large overcurrent protection. The evaluation kit also features current monitoring/reporting with ±3% accuracy (0.8A to 1.5A) on the individual channel and over-current/over-temperature fault status indication.
