Analog Devices MAX25432BEVKIT Evaluation Kit is an assembled and tested printed circuit board (PCB) designed to quickly and easily demonstrate the MAX25432 IC. The MAX25432 Automotive Buck-Boost Port Controller and Protector is designed for automotive USB host or downstream-facing (DFP) applications. The MAX25432 combines an automotive-grade buck-boost controller capable of full-range 3.3V to 21V programmable power supply (PPS) at up to 6.35A, a USB Power Delivery (USB PD) analog front-end (AFE), legacy USB charging support, and USB Type-C® protection switches. The kit features the MAX25432BATLG/V+ automotive 100W USB-PD PPS buck-boost port controller and protector intended for head-unit, multi-media hub, rear-seat infotainment, and dedicated charging port (DCP) applications.
Analog Devices MAX25432BEVKIT Evaluation Kit demonstrates the intelligent shield short-to-battery detection and protection available on MAX25432. The intelligent shield short-to-battery detection and protection feature protects against high shortcircuit currents flowing from the car battery through the cable shield to module ground during fault events, preventing car module damage.
