Maxim Integrated MAX16841 Evaluation Kit MAX16841EVKIT# MAX16841EVKIT# Data Sheet

The MAX16841 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the 
MAX16841 LED driver IC used for offline LED lighting 
applications. The EV kit is configured as a flyback topology 
to drive 6 to 8 LEDs from a universal AC input supply. The 
IC is designed for standard offline applications. The typical 
input power at 230V AC input is 11.7W.
The EV kit is designed to pass EM55015 Class B 

 

specifications and EN6100-3-2 for harmonic currents. 
The EV kit is dimmable with most of the leading- and 
trailing-edge dimmers.
