MAX17617AEVKIT#

MAX17617AEVKIT# is an evaluation kit (EV kit) that features the MAX17617A electronic fuse (eFuse) set up for 5V to 28V operation with a 2A auto-retry current limit. A 3.3V buck regulator provides a voltage for pull-ups and logic to run indicator LEDs on the board. The board also includes an additional external N-channel field-effect transistor (FET) for reverse conduction protection. The MAX17617AEVKIT# EV kit can be configured to evaluate user-defined input undervoltage lockout (UVLO), output UV sensing, and surge protection thresholds using resistor-dividers. The overcurrent (OC) threshold is determined by an external resistor connected from the SETI pin to GND. OC response is set by the resistance value of R14 (connected between ISTART/CLMODE pin to GND).
