MAXREFDES1295

Description

The MAXREFDES1295 is a reference design that shows the MAX32630FTHR and MAX11300, as well as several other Analog products, that demonstrates a small, low-cost, portable electronic load (E-load) for testing the power converters and Power Management Integrated Circuits (PMICs). The MAX32630FTHR is an ARM^®-core-based, low-power microcontroller board whose main purpose is to facilitate communication between the PC’s graphical user interface (GUI) software and the E-load. The MAX11300 20-port programmable mixed-signal input/output (I/O) (PIXI^™) with 12-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC), 12-bit digital-to-analog converter (DAC), analog switches, and general-purpose input/output (GPIO) is used to control the load currents and measure various parameters of the E-load.
