Datasheet
General Description
The MAX16840 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the
MAX16840 HBLED driver IC used for solid-state lighting
(SSL) applications. The EV kit is configured in a buck-
boost topology providing an output power of 5.5W for 3
to 5 LEDs. The IC is designed for standard multifaceted-
reflector (MR) applications. The EV kit’s typical input
power is 6.7W at 12V AC and features a power-factor
correction of 0.9 (typ).
The EV kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount
PCB designed and optimized to accommodate an MR16
application form factor. The EV kit is dimmable with some
electronic transformers and trailing-edge dimmer com-
bination and some magnetic transformers and leading-
edge dimmer combination.
