MAX1906 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
ꢀ Overvoltage Protection
The MAX1906 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a complete, fully
assembled and tested circuit board that is used to eval-
uate the MAX1906 lithium-ion (Li+) battery-pack protec-
tor. The MAX1906 EV kit protects the battery pack by
blowing an on-board fuse when any individual cell in
the battery pack exceeds the overvoltage protection
threshold. The MAX1906 EV kit is designed to evaluate
the MAX1906X 4-cell Li+ battery-pack protector. The
EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX1906S 2-
cell and the MAX1906V 3-cell Li+ battery-pack protec-
tors. See the Selector Guide to request samples of the
other ICs.

Warning: The MAX1906 EV kit is designed to work with
Li+ batteries under potentially dangerous conditions.
Exercise extreme caution when performing overcharge
tests on live Li+ cells. Users who power up this EV kit or
power the sources connected to it must be careful to
follow safety procedures appropriate to working with
Li+ batteries.

Under severe fault or failure conditions, this EV kit may
dissipate large amounts of power, which could result in
the mechanical ejection of a component or of compo-
nent debris at high velocity. Operate this kit with care to
avoid possible personal injury.
