The MAX17061 EV kit (MAX17061EVKIT+) is a fully
assembled and tested surface-mount printed-circuit
board (PCB) that evaluates the high-efficiency
MAX17061 white LED (WLED) driver. The MAX17061 EV
kit utilizes a step-up DC-DC converter to generate the
voltage required to drive up to eight strings of 10 surface-
mount WLEDs. The EV kit uses a 7V to 21V input power
supply (single-supply mode) and can be configured to
provide a fixed 25mA or adjustable 15mA to 30mA full-
scale LED current. As shipped, the MAX17061 EV kit is
configured for evaluation with four strings of 10 WLEDs
and includes an I
