Fe a t u re s
The MAX1575 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested circuit for evaluating the MAX1575
white LED 1x/1.5x charge pump. The MAX1575 drives
4 white LEDs in a main display group and 2 white LEDs
in a sub-group. These 6 surface-mount white LEDs are
included on the EV kit. In addition to the LED driver cir-
cuit, the EV kit includes two pulse-generator circuits on
the left side of the PC board that are used for testing
the s ing le -wire s e ria l p uls e -d imming fe a ture of the
MAX1575.
