MAX4210E Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX4210E evaluation kit (EV kit) is a high-side power
monitor that operates from a 5V supply voltage and pro-
vides a 2.5V output voltage for a 100mV sense voltage.
The MAX4210 high-side power monitor provides an ana-
log output voltage proportional to the power consumed
by a load by multiplying load current and source voltage.
The EV kit is assembled to support a full-scale current
measurement of 10A and can monitor up to a 100W
power level, which is being delivered by a 10V to 20V
source voltage. The MAX4210E uses high-side current
sensing; this allows the load to connect directly to
ground, eliminating any ground potential errors.
The MAX4210E EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount printed circuit board. It can be used to
evaluate other MAX4210 versions: MAX4210A,
MAX4210B, MAX4210C, MAX4210D, and MAX4210F.

Note: To evaluate the MAX4210A/B/C/D/F, request a
MAX4210AETT, MAX4210BETT, MAX4210CETT, MAX4210DETT,
or MAX4210FETT free sample with the MAX4210E EV kit.
Recommended Equipment
• 10V to 20V, 10A power supply (VSOURCE)
• 5V, 1A DC power supply (VCC)
• Electronic load capable of sinking 10A
• Digital voltmeter (DVM)
Quick Start
The MAX4210E EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow these steps to verify board operation. Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed:
1) Verify that the shunt is across JU1 pins 1 and 2 to
connect the resistor-divider formed by R2 and R3 to
pin 2 (IN) of the IC.
2) Connect a voltmeter across POUT and GND.
3) Connect the positive terminal of the 10V source volt-
age to the VSOURCE pad. Connect the source ground
to the GND pad closest to VCC.
