Evaluate: MAX15093/MAX15093A
MAX15093/MAX15093A
Evaluation Kits
General Description
Quick Start
The MAX15093/MAX15093A evaluation kits (EV kits)
provide a proven design to evaluate the MAX15093/
MAX15093A hot-swap controllers with an integrated 15A
MOSFET. The EV kits are configured to pass 15A in a
2.7V to 18V hot-swap application, thus providing a fully
integrated solution. The EV kits use the MAX15093GWL+/
MAX15093AGWL+T in a 2.57mm x 4.03mm, 40-bump,
0.5mm pitch wafer-level package (WLP) with a proven
four-layer PCB design. As configured, the EV kits are
optimized to operate at 12V.
Required Equipment
● MAX15093 or MAX15093A EV kit
● 12V, 15A DC power supply
● Voltmeter
Procedure
The EV kits are fully assembled and tested. Follow the
steps below to verify board operation. Caution: Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
The two EV kit versions (MAX15093AEVKIT# and
MAX15093EVKIT#) are built on the same PCB fabrication
and can be used interchangeably to evaluate either the
MAX15093 or MAX15093A by replacing U1 with the
desired device.
1) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1-2 on the
following jumpers: J1, J3, J4, J5, UV_IN, and CB.
2) Turn on the power supply and set the supply to 12V,
then disable the power supply.
3) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply
to the IN banana jack on the EV kits. Connect the
negative terminal of the power supply to the GND
banana jack.
Features
● 2.7V to 18V Operating-Voltage Range
● Up to 15A Configurable Load-Current Capability
● Banana Jacks for Input and Output Voltage
● Programmable Slew-Rate Control
● Selectable/Configurable Circuit-Breaker Threshold
● Configurable Overvoltage/Undervoltage Lockout
● Programmable Timeout Delay
4) Enable the power supply.
5) Verify that the voltage between the OUT and GND
banana jacks is 12V.
6) Verify that the internal regulator voltage (REG) is 3.3V.
7) The EV kits are now ready for additional evaluation.
● FAULT and PG Outputs
● Defined Safe Operation Area
