The MAX1640 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an adjustable
switch-mode current source that operates from a 5.5V to
26V input. It is intended for microprocessor-controlled
battery chargers. The charging current, maximum volt-
age, and pulse-trickle charge are programmed with
external resistors. The EV kit is shipped configured for
a maximum charge voltage (6 cells). It is configured
as a step-down pulse-width modulator (PWM) with syn-
chronous rectification, allowing fast-charge currents up
to 1.5A with greater than 90% efficiency. The MAX1640
uses high-side current sense; this allows the load to
connect directly to ground, eliminating ground potential
errors. The MAX1641 uses low-side current sense.
♦ 5.5V to 26V Input Voltage Range
♦ Tight Current-Regulation Accuracy:
2% (MAX1641); 5% (MAX1640)
♦ Up to 1.5A Fast-Charge Current
♦ Up to 500kHz PWM Operation
♦ Pulse-Trickle Charge Current
♦ 100% Maximum Duty Cycle (low dropout)
♦ Synchronous Rectifier
♦ Surface-Mount Components
♦ Fully Assembled and Tested
The MAX1640 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested sur-
face-mount printed circuit board. It can also be used to
evaluate the MAX1641.
