MAX17600–MAX17605 Evaluation Kits
Evaluate: MAX17600–MAX17605
General Description
The MAX17600–MAX17605 evaluation kits (EV kits)
provide a proven design to evaluate the MAX17600–
MAX17605 dual, high-speed, low-side MOSFET drivers
that can source/sink up to a 4A peak current. Each EV kit
provides four separate designs to evaluate four different
IC packages. The EV kits use a 4V to 14V (MAX17600/
MAX17601/MAX17602), or a 6V to 14V (MAX17603/
MAX17604/MAX17605) input supply.
Installed on the EV kits are the MAX17600–MAX17605 (in
8-pin TDFN,
FMAX
M
, and SO packages).

MAX17600–MAX17605 Evaluation Kits
Evaluate: MAX17600–MAX17605
Quick Start
• MAX17600–MAX17605 EV kit
• 4V to 14V DC power supply
The EV kits are fully assembled and tested. Follow the
steps below to verify U1 board operation.
Caution: Do
not turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
1) Verify that all jumpers are in their default positions, as
shown in Table 1.
2) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to
the VDD1 PCB pad and the negative terminal to the
nearest GND PCB pad on the EV kit.
3) Set the VDD1 power supply to 14V and enable its
output.
4) Drive INA1 high and verify that the OUTA1 polarity is
according to Table 2.
5) Drive INB1 high and verify that the OUTB1 polarity is
according to Table 2.
6) Drive INA1 low and verify that the OUTA1 polarity is
according to Table 2.
7) Drive INB1 low and verify that the OUTB1 polarity is
according to Table 2.
8) Repeat accordingly for the other circuits.

Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX17600–MAX17605 EV kits operate on a 4V to
14V (MAX17600/MAX17601/MAX17602) or a 6V to 14V
(MAX17603/MAX17604/MAX17605) wide-input voltage
range and sources/sinks 4A peak current.
Each EV kit has four separate sets of enables to evaluate
each package:
1) ENA1/ENB1 enables/disables the TDFN-EP package
2) ENA2/ENB2 enables/disables the SO package
3) ENA3/ENB3 enables/disables the
FMAX-EP
package
4) ENA4/ENB4 enables/disables the TDFN-EP package
Each EV kit has four separate sets of inputs to evaluate
each package:
3) INA3/INB3 inputs control the output state for the
FMAX-EP
package
4) INA4/INB4 inputs control the output state for the
TDFN-EP package
Each EV kit has four separate VDD inputs to evaluate
each package:
1) VDD1 supplies power to the TDFN-EP package
2) VDD2 supplies power to the SO package
3) VDD3 supplies power to the
FMAX-EP
package
4) VDD4 supplies power to the TDFN-EP package
Each EV kit has four circuits to evaluate each package.
Each circuit has its own ground plane and each GND is
not connected to the GND of the nearby circuit.
