be downloaded from www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware.
♦ Drives 4 Strings of 10 WLEDs (Capable of Driving
The MAX17105 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount circuit board that evaluates the high-effi-
ciency MAX17105 white LED (WLED) driver. The
MAX17105 EV kit utilizes a step-up DC-DC converter to
generate the voltage required to drive up to 8 strings of
12 surface-mount WLEDs. The EV kit uses a 7V to 24V
input power and provides an adjustable 0mA to 30mA
full-scale LED current. As shipped, the MAX17105 EV kit
is configured to be evaluated with 4 strings of 10 WLEDs
Up to 8 Strings)
