Product codes
MAX17129EVKIT+
General Description
The MAX17129 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven
design to evaluate the MAX17129 high-efficiency driver
for white light-emitting diodes (WLEDs). The EV kit
utilizes a step-up DC-DC converter to generate the
voltage required to drive up to six strings of 10 surface-
mount WLEDs. The EV kit uses a 3V to 26V input supply
and can be configured to provide an adjustable 10mA to
45mA full-scale LED current.
Installed on the EV kit is the MAX17129ETE+. Contact
the factory for free samples of the pin-compatible
MAX17149ETE+.
