Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX17320X/MAX17320G Evaluation Kits

Analog Devices MAX17320X/MAX17320G Evaluation Kits are fully assembled and tested surface-mount PCBs that evaluate the MAX17320. The MAX17320 is a stand-alone pack-side fuel gauge IC with protector and optional SHA-256 authentication for 2-4 cell lithium-ion/polymer batteries. The MAX17320X/MAX17320G evaluation kits include the IC evaluation board with an integrated I2C/1-Wire® interface and USB micro-B cable. Windows® based graphical user interface (GUI) software is available for use with the evaluation kit.
