MAX17127 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX17127
General Description
The MAX17127 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount PCB that evaluates the high-
efficiency MAX17127 white LED (WLED) driver. The EV
kit utilizes a step-up DC-DC converter to generate the
voltage required to drive up to six strings of 10 surface-
mount WLEDs. The EV kit uses a 5V to 26V input power
supply and can be configured to provide an adjustable
10mA to 30mA full-scale LED current.
Features
S 5V to 26V Input Range
S WLED Drives Up to 30mA/String
S Drives Six Strings of 10 WLEDs
S Full-Scale LED Current Adjustable from 10mA to
30mA
S 1MHz PWM Switching Frequency Adjustable from
250kHz to 1MHz (Component Change Required)
S All Components < 1mm Height
S Fully Assembled and Tested
