MAX22444MAX22446 Evaluation Kits Evaluates: MAX22444MAX22446 General Description Features The MAX22444MAX22446 evaluation kits (EV kits) Broad Range of Data Transfer Rates (from DC to provide a proven design to evaluate the MAX22444 200Mbps) MAX22446, reinforced, four-channel, galvanic digital Four Unidirectional Channels with 3 Different isolators. Two types of evaluation boards are available Channel Direction Configurations to support different channel direction configurations, SMA Connectors for Easy Connection to External different ENA polarities and different output default Equipment settings of the MAX22444MAX22446 family. The Wide Power Supply Voltage Range from 1.71V to 5.5V MAX22445FWEVKIT is fully assembled and tested, and comes populated with the MAX22445FAWE+ (Figure 1). Guaranteed Up to 5kV Isolation for 60s RMS The MAX2244XWEVKIT is a generic board which has -40C to +125C Temperature Range U1 unpopulated allowing the user to select a device from Proven PCB Layout the MAX22444-MAX22446 family (Figure 2). Both evaluation boards support the wide-body 16-pin SOIC package type. See Table 1 for EV kit options. The EV kits should be powered from two independent Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet. isolated power supplies with nominal output voltage in range from 1.71V to 5.5V. For evaluating the electrical parameters of the device without any isolation between the two sides, a single power supply can also be used. The MAX2244XWEVKIT comes with U1 unpopulated and supports the following digital isolators: MAX22444BAWE+, MAX22444CAWE+, MAX22444EAWE+, MAX22444FAWE+, MAX22444MAWE+, MAX22444NAWE+, MAX22445BAWE+, MAX22445CAWE+, MAX22445EAWE+, MAX22445FAWE+, MAX22445MAWE+, MAX22445NAWE+, MAX22445RAWE+, MAX22445SAWE+, MAX22445UAWE+, MAX22445VAWE+, MAX22446BAWE+, MAX22446CAWE+, MAX22446EAWE+, MAX22446FAWE+, MAX22446MAWE+, MAX22446NAWE+. Note: When ordering the MAX2244XW EV kit, the engineer should request a sample of the desired MAX22444-MAX22446 isolator IC that can be soldered to the PCB. Table 1.
