Product Details

The MAX1611 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled surface-mount demonstration board. The kit embodies the standard cold-cathode fluorescent lamp application circuit shown in Figure 4 of the MAX1610/MAX1611 data sheet. Additional circuitry allows an IBM®-compatible personal computer to use its parallel port to emulate an Intel System Management Bus (SMBus™) interface.

The board comes with a MAX1611 installed, but with minimal modification, the EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX1610.
