The MAX8648 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) for evaluating
the ultra-efficient charge pump for six white/RGB LEDs
in a 3mm x 3mm thin QFN IC package. This MAX8648
EV kit drives six white LEDs (WLEDs) or one RGB LED
module. The EV kit includes three pulse generators that
are used for testing the single-wire, serial-pulse dimming
of the MAX8648 IC.
The MAX8648 EV kit can also evaluate the MAX8647
when using the Maxim CMAXQUSB+ command module.
To evaluate the MAX8647, order the MAX8648 EV
kit, the CMAXQUSB+ command module, and a free
sample of the MAX8647ETE+. The CMAXQUSB+
command module is required for SMBus™ control of
the MAX8647. The MAX8647 evaluation software can
be downloaded from the Maxim website at
