MAX17710GB20 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX17710GB
General Description
The MAX17710GB20 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully
assembled and tested PCB that contains all the com-
ponents necessary to evaluate the performance of the
MAX17710GB energy-harvesting charger and protector.
The EV kit features the THINERGY^M micro-energy cell
(MEC201) from Infinite Power Solutions, Inc. (IPS), a solid-
state, rechargeable, thin-power solution. Solar cells are
installed on the EV kit as the power source for an energy-
harvesting application. The solar cells demonstrate low-
power charging of the MEC with ambient light. The IC
can regulate and charge from various energy-harvesting
sources that can be added externally.
The EV kit is a self-powered board. The EV kit output
charges the THINERGY MEC with current as low as 1µA.
The EV kit provides test points to monitor the inputs and
outputs, and jumpers to test the various settings. An LED
is included on the CHG output to indicate if the boost is
operating. The IC is available in a 12-pin UTDFN package
with an exposed pad.
