Evaluates: MAX17852 MAX17852 Evaluation Kit General Description Features The MAX17852 evaluation kit (EV kit) is used to Provides a Convenient Platform for Evaluating the demonstrate the features and capabilities of the MAX17852 Features and Functions of the MAX17852 14-channel high-voltage smart sensor data-acquisition Versatile GUI Interface for Features Evaluation interface IC. The EV kit is coupled with a MAX17841B EV Plug-and-Play Architecture for Rapid System kit to establish communication to a host PC. With com- Prototyping munication established, control of the MAX17852 EV kit is executed through the EV kit graphical user interface (GUI) Force and Sense Pin Headers for Precision Measurement Assessment on the host PC. The GUI is Windows XP , Windows Vista , Windows 7, and Windows 10 compatible and Built-In Resistor Stack for Battery Emulation is available through your local Maxim Integrated sales Proven PCB Layout office. Note: References to the MAX17841 in this data Fully Assembled and Tested sheet pertain equally to the MAX17841B as well. The MAX17852 EV kit design provides a convenient plat- form for evaluating the features and functions of the IC, MAX17852 EV Kit Files in addition to the ICs electrical parameters. The EV kit FILE DESCRIPTION with vertical communication connectors (P2, P3, P5, and Software: Graphical P6) and snap and lock battery pack connector enable the MAX17853 EV kit Installer.exe User Interface (GUI) user to quickly build and evaluate a system with up to 32 daisy-chain devices.
