Quick Start
Required Equipment
● MAX14575A–MAX14575C EV kit
● 5V, 2.6A power supply
Procedure
The EV kits are fully assembled and tested. Follow the
steps below to verify board operation:
1) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1-3 on jump-
er JU3 (powers the device and peripherals at TP6) and
that a shunt is installed across pins 1-2 on jumper JU5
(enables the device).
2) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1-2 on jumper
JU10 (connects the FLAG output on the device to LED).
3) Verify that a shunt is not installed across pins 1-2 on
jumper JU2 (an installed jumper forces LED2 on).
4) Install a shunt at the desired location on jumper JU1 to
set the current limit according to Table 1.
5) Connect the 5V, 2.6A power supply at TP6.
6) Verify that the green LED (LED1) is lit, indicating that
the device is powered.
7) Connect TP8 or BP3 to the system in which the device
will be evaluated, or connect a variable load to TP8.
8) If current limit is reached, LED2 glows red and device
goes into its defined overcurrent fault response.

MAX14575C IC data sheet for more details.
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX14575A–MAX14575C EV kits are fully assem-
bled and tested circuit boards that demonstrate the
functionality of the MAX14575A–MAX14575C adjustable
current-limit switches in an 8-pin TDFN package. Each EV
kit features jumpers for configuration and evaluation of all
versions of the device, which include autoretry, latchoff,
and continuous current-limit versions. Input power to
the EV kit is provided by a standard 5V USB bus or an
external 5V power supply. Included with the EV kit is a
USB type-A male to USB type-B male cable, providing a
convenient way to power the EV kit’s peripherals without
disturbing evaluation of the current-limiting function of the
device. Input power can also be supplied by an external
DC source.
