Evaluates: MAX14906

MAX14906 Evaluation Kit

General Description

The MAX14906 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a

proven design to evaluate the MAX14906, a four-channel

industrial digital-output, digital-input device. The EV kit allows

the MAX14906 to be configured on a per-channel basis

as either a digital output (in High-Side switch or Push-Pull

driver configuration) or a Type 1 and 3, or Type 2 digital

input. The EV kit monitors the MAX14906 diagnostic

information, including open-wire condition, state of the

output channels, multiple undervoltage alarms, global

and per-channel overtemperature alarms, and multiple

fault alarms.

The EV kit must be powered from an external 24V DC

power supply that can provide up to 6.4A (max), when all

DOI_ output channels are fully loaded with the option of

2x load inrush current.

The MAX14906 EV kit communicates with a graphical

user interface (GUI) on a PC through a USB port. The EV

kit features an on-board FT2232 controller interfacing to

the MAX14906 control signals. Alternatively, an external

SPI interface from a microcontroller or FPGA can be used

through the 20-pin header (J13).

The MAX14906 EV kit comes with the MAX14906ATM+

installed in a 48-pin, 7mm x 7mm QFN package.
