Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX17617EVKIT Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX17617EVKIT Evaluation Kit implements the MAX17617 electronic fuse (eFuse) set up for 5V to 28V operation with a 7A auto-retry current limit. A 3.3V buck regulator supplies a voltage for pull-ups and logic to run indicator LEDs on the board. The ADI MAX17617EVKIT features an additional external N-channel field-effect transistor (FET) for reverse conduction protection.

Features

  • 3V to 80V input range and 3V to 75V if reverse protection FET is used
  • 3% accurate current monitoring
  • Programmable current limit response
  • Reverse voltage/current protection
  • Loss of GND protection
  • 6% accurate power limiting (input or output)
  • -40°C to +125°C operation
  • 23-lead, 4.5mm x 5.75mm, FC2QFN package

Applications

  • Input voltage and output overcurrent protections
  • Loss of ground protection
  • Surge protection
  • UL1310 Class 2 power limiter

Required Equipment

  • 30V DC power supply with 7A minimum capability
  • Adjustable load (0A to 8A)
  • Digital multimeters (DMMs)
