The MAX8685C evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) for evaluating
the MAX8685C/MAX8685D xenon flash charger family.
The MAX8685C EV kit operates from a 2.5V to 5.5V supply
and charges a 35µF capacitor to 300V. Battery voltages
as low as 1.5V can be used to supply the inductor
primary current. The MAX8685C/MAX8685D offer fixed
peak primary current limits of 1A and 1.6A, respectively.
An LED indicator on the EV kit lights up when the initial
charging cycle is complete.
