MAX22245/MAX22246 Evaluation Kits
Evaluate: MAX22245/MAX22246
General Description
Features
The MAX22245/MAX22246 evaluation kits (EV kits)
provide a proven design to evaluate the MAX22245
and MAX22246, reinforced, two-channel, galvanic digi-
tal isolators. Two types of evaluation boards are avail-
able to support the MAX22245/MAX22246 family. The
MAX22246CWEVKIT# is fully assembled and tested and
comes populated with the MAX22246CAWA+ (Figure 1).
The MAX2224XWEVKIT# is a generic board which has
U1 unpopulated allowing the user to select a device from
the MAX22245/MAX22246 family (Figure 2). Both evalu-
ation boards support the wide-body 8-pin SOIC package
type. See Table 1 for EV kit options.
● Broad Range of Data Transfer Rates (from DC to
200Mbps)
● MAX22245 with 2:0 Channel Configuration and
MAX22246 with 1:1 Channel Configuration
● SMA Connectors for Easy Connection to External
Equipment
● Wide Power Supply Voltage Range from 1.71V
to 5.5V
● Guaranteed up to 5kV
Isolation for 60s
RMS
● -40°C to +125°C Temperature Range
● Proven PCB Layout
The EV kits should be powered from two independent
isolated power supplies with nominal output voltage in
range from 1.71V to 5.5V. For evaluating the electrical
parameters of the device without any isolation between
the two sides, a single power supply can also be used.
Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet.
The MAX2224XWEVKIT# comes with U1 unpopulated and
supports the following digital isolators: MAX22245BAWA+,
MAX22245CAWA+,MAX22245EAWA+,MAX22245FAWA+,
MAX22246BAWA+,MAX22246CAWA+,MAX22246EAWA+,
MAX22246FAWA+.
Note: When ordering the MAX2224XW EV kit, request a
sample of the desired MAX22245 or MAX22246 isolator
IC that can be soldered to the PCB.
