MAX22444–MAX22446 Evaluation Kits
Evaluates: MAX22444–MAX22446
General Description
Features
The MAX22444–MAX22446 evaluation kits (EV kits)
provide a proven design to evaluate the MAX22444–
MAX22446, reinforced, four-channel, galvanic digital
isolators. Two types of evaluation boards are available
to support different channel direction configurations,
different ENA polarities and different output default
settings of the MAX22444–MAX22446 family. The
MAX22445FWEVKIT# is fully assembled and tested, and
comes populated with the MAX22445FAWE+ (Figure 1).
The MAX2244XWEVKIT# is a generic board which has
U1 unpopulated allowing the user to select a device from
the MAX22444-MAX22446 family (Figure 2). Both evaluation
boards support the wide-body 16-pin SOIC package type.
See Table 1 for EV kit options.
● Broad Range of Data Transfer Rates (from DC to
200Mbps)
● Four Unidirectional Channels with 3 Different
Channel Direction Configurations
● 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 MAX2244XWEVKIT# comes with U1 unpopulated and
supports the following digital isolators: MAX22444BAWE+,
MAX22444CAWE+, MAX22444EAWE+, MAX22444FAWE+,
MAX22444MAWE+,MAX22444NAWE+,MAX22445BAWE+,
MAX22445CAWE+, MAX22445EAWE+, MAX22445FAWE+,
MAX22445MAWE+,MAX22445NAWE+,MAX22445RAWE+,
MAX22445SAWE+, MAX22445UAWE+, MAX22445VAWE+,
MAX22446BAWE+, MAX22446CAWE+, MAX22446EAWE+,
MAX22446FAWE+, MAX22446MAWE+, MAX22446NAWE+.
Note: When ordering the MAX2244XW EV kit, the engineer
should request a sample of the desired MAX22444-MAX22446
isolator IC that can be soldered to the PCB.
