MAX15501 Evaluation Kit

General Description

The MAX15501 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven

design to evaluate the MAX15501 analog output con-

ditioner that provides a programmable current up to

Q24mA, or a voltage up to Q12V proportional to a con-

trol voltage signal. The EV kit also includes Windows

2000-, Windows XP

-, and Windows Vista

-compatible

software that provides a simple graphical user interface

(GUI) for exercising the features of the MAX15501.

The MAX15501 EV kit comes with a MAX15501GTJ+

installed. Contact the factory for free samples of the pin-

compatible MAX15500GTJ+ to evaluate this device.

MAX15501 Evaluation Kit Evaluates: MAX15500/MAX15501 Terminal Block The MAX15501 EV kit provides a terminal block (J3) that can be used to connect to the external load. By default, the OUT signal of the MAX15501 connects to the OUTPUT pin (pin 1) of the terminal block through an on-board 41.2I sensing resistor (RS4). The load should be connected between the OUTPUT (pin 1) and AGND (pin 2) pins of the terminal block.
