Click here for production status of specific part numbers. Evaluates: MAX25615 MAX25615 Evaluation Kit Procedure General Description The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps The MAX25615 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates below to verify board operation. Caution: Do not turn on inverting, noninverting, and differential operating modes the power supply until all connections are completed. for the MAX25615 MOSFET driver. The EV kit includes one MOSFET driver, a MOSFET, and component pads for 1) Preset the power supply to 12V. Turn off the power optional loads. The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. supply. 2) Preset the function generator to go from 0V to 3V at Benefits and Features 100kHz with a 50% duty cycle. Turn off the function +4V to +16V Single Power-Supply Range generator. 3) Connect the positive lead of the power supply to the 7A Peak Sink Current red VINP banana jack (J4). Connect the negative 3A Peak Source Current lead of the power supply to the black GND banana Inverting and Noninverting Inputs jack (J5). 4) Connect the function generator output using a BNC Proven PCB Layout cable to LD3. Fully Assembled and Tested 5) Connect a scope probe to IN+ by using J1 and a scope probe to OUT by using J3. Quick Start 6) Turn on the power supply. 7) Verify that the voltage across VINP and GND is 12V. Required Equipment 8) Turn on the function generator. MAX25615 EV Kit 9) Verify on the scope that IN+ is a 0 to 3V signal at Variable 20V Power Supply 100kHz with a 50% duty cycle and that OUT is a 0V to 12V signal at 100kHz with a 50% duty cycle with a Oscilloscope slight phase delay with regards to IN+. Function Generator 10) Turn off the function generator. 11) Turn off the power supply. Detailed Description of Hardware Input Configuration The MAX25615 EV kit can use inverting, noninverting, Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet. and differential inputs. Table 1 summarizes the stuffing options for each configuration. R1 and R2 are present to terminate the input lines. Parallel capacitors C5 and C12 are normally open, but can be stuffed to filter the inputs. 319-100333 Rev 0 4/19Evaluates: MAX25615 MAX25615 Evaluation Kit Load Configurations Rise and Fall Time Control The MAX25615 drives a standard pinout N-channel The MAX25615 EV kit has additional components that MOSFET. The MOSFETs drain current can be directed to allow adjustment of the output rise and fall times. R5 and a resistive or LED load, which are common applications R6 are normally 0, but can be asymmetrically stuffed for the driver. R7 and C14 are normally open, but can be with low value resistors to adjust the rise and fall times stuffed to simplify evaluation of the MAX25615 at specific at Q1s gate. load resistance and capacitance.
