Description
The MAX1586A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount PCB that evaluates the
MAX1586A power-management IC (PMIC). The IC is optimized
for microprocessor-based applications. The
MAX1586A integrates three high-performance synchronous
step-down DC-DC power supplies, three low-dropout
(LDO) regulators, a battery backup supply, and
various power-management functions.
The MAX1586A evaluation system (EV system) consists
of a MAX1586A evaluation kit (EV kit) and a companion
Maxim CMAXQUSB board.
The Maxim SMBus™ interface board (CMAXQUSB) allows
a PC to use its USB port to emulate an SMBus/I²C-compatible
2-wire interface. Windows® 98SE/2000/XP-compatible
software provides a professional interface
to exercise the features of the MAX1586A. The program
is menu driven and offers a graphical user interface
(GUI) with control buttons and a status display.
The MAX1586AEVCMAXQU includes both the EV kit and
the CMAXQUSB interface board. Order the MAX1586A
EV kit if you already have an SMBus interface.
