General Description

The MAX34406 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evalua-

tion of the MAX34406 quad current-sense amplifier with

overcurrent threshold comparators. The EV kit is fully

assembled and ready for operation. It is shipped with

four 10mI sense resistors in parallel on each channel,

which creates an effective sense resistance of 2.5mI.

The EV kit ships with the MAX34406 device installed,

which provides a fixed gain of 100V/V. The 2.5mI sense

resistance and 100V/V gain provide an overcurrent

threshold of 4A on each channel. The sense resistors

on the EV kit can be changed to adjust the overcurrent

threshold. The PCB and the terminals on the EV kit can

support currents up to 32A on each channel.

Equipment Needed

The following equipment is required to use the MAX34406

EV kit:

• 3.3V to 5V (10mA) DC power supply to supply the

MAX34406 bias

• 4A current source (2V to 28V) to test the full range of

the current-sense amplifier

• Small flat-head screwdriver for attaching leads to the

current-sense terminals

MAX34406 Evaluation Kit Evaluates: MAX34406 Getting Started • Connect a 3.3V to 5V DC power supply to the red (+) and back (-) banana jacks and apply power. The DC power supply is used by the MAX34406 to power up the internal voltage reference, comparators, and logic. The power supply is not required for the current sense amplifiers and will not damage the device if it is left unconnected.
