Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX16984LEVKIT Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices MAX16984LEVKIT Evaluation Kit is a demonstration platform for the MAX16984L (MAX16984R/MAX16984S) Automotive Step-Down DC-DC Converter. The MAX16984L features integrated host-charger port detection circuitry adhering to the USB 2.0 BC1.2 battery charging specification. The device also includes circuitry for Apple® iPod®, iPhone® 1.0A, and iPad® 2.1A dedicated charging modes. The MAX16984L integrates high-side current sensing and voltage-adjustment circuitry that provides automatic USB voltage adjustment to compensate for voltage drops in captive cables associated with automotive applications.

Analog Devices MAX16984LEVKIT Evaluation Kit features a pre-installed MAX16984R CPQFN-EP-28 package. The kit is configured for 2.2MHz operation, and the included 3-meter USB cable allows for a demonstration of the cable compensation capability of the MAX16984L. This kit has been tuned for optimal EYE quality at the end of the supplied USB cable. This tuning method is referred to as far-eye tuning.
