Product Details

The MAX49918 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully tested and assembled circuit that demonstrates the capabilities of the MAX49918, a high-precision, wide measurement range, programmable gain, bidirectional current-sense amplifier that monitors two distinct current levels.

The gain of MAX49918 is programmed by I2C communication.

The MAX49918 EV kit operates over the automotive temperature range of -40°C to +125°C.

The EV kit reserves a PCB footprint so that a MAX32625PICO board can be soldered on it. With the MAX32625PICO board, users can control the gain conveniently with the GUI software.

System Requirements

  • MAX49918 EV kit
  • 0 to 70V DC power supply for VCM input
  • +3.3V, 100mA DC power supply
  • Electronic load capable of sinking 3A
  • One 6½ digital multimeter (DMM like 34401A)
  • One 8½ digital multimeter (DMM like Agilent 3458)
