The MAX4173 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount PCB that contains a
MAX4173TEUT+. The MAX4173 is a high-side, current-sense
amplifier with an input common-mode voltage
range that extends from 0 to 28V. The current-sense
amplifier provides an analog voltage output proportional
to the load current flowing through an external sense
resistor.
The 20V/V gain version of the MAX4173 (MAX4173TEUT+)
and a 150mΩ sense resistor are installed on the board.
Other gain versions of the MAX4173 can be evaluated
by replacing the MAX4173TEUT+ with a MAX4173FEUT+
(50V/V) or a MAX4173HEUT+ (100V/V) and a user-supplied,
external sense resistor. The user can easily
match the full-scale sense voltage to the required output-
voltage range.
