General Description
The MAX16822B evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates
the MAX16822B hysteretic current-mode high-bright-
ness LED (HBLED) driver IC. The MAX16822B EV kit is
configured as a step-down topology with a constant-
current HBLED driver circuit for external HBLEDs. The
MAX16822B EV kit operates from a DC supply voltage
of 6V to 65V and is configured to deliver up to 350mA
of current to user-supplied HBLEDs. The output voltage
for the HBLED string can go up to 64V and depends
upon the EV kit’s input voltage.
The MAX16822B EV kit can be configured for digital
pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming operation
using a digital PWM input signal to control the HBLEDs’
brightness. The MAX16822B has an undervoltage lock-
out (UVLO) feature that disables the EV kit at low input
voltage. The EV kit circuit also features a thermal fold-
back and temperature simulation circuit feature. The
MAX16822B EV kit is a fully assembled and tested sur-
face-mount board. The MAX16822B EV kit can also
evaluate the MAX16822A, or for higher currents, a
MAX16832 IC.
Warning: Voltages exceeding 42V may exist on the
LED+ and LED- output pads.
