MAX14914PMB#

The MAX14914PMB# is an evaluation board for a MAX14914 switched capacitor/charge pump voltage converter from Maxim Integrated. The board is part of the Evaluation Boards - Expansion Boards, Daughter Cards product line and is primarily used to evaluate the capabilities of the MAX14914 voltage converter IC.

The MAX14914 is a low-voltage, high-efficiency, single-wire/two-wire-to-battery charge pump/switched capacitor voltage converter IC. It features 4 fully differential 55MHz charge pumps/eBoost™ buck/boost converters that can be used together or independently. The board uses the MAX14914 in 8-VSSOP package to allow customers to evaluate the IC’s performance in real-world applications.

The board is designed to be used with a wide range of inputs such as a power supply, a battery, or a load. It can be tested with an output of up to 2A and features a range of selectable operating modes for different applications. It also has a comprehensive power up/down sequence that ensures correct operations and minimizes sudden power surges.

The board is equipped with a graphical user interface and a built-in scope for testing and debugging. It also includes a thin, low-profile design which allows for easy installation in cramped spaces. Additionally, the board comes with a complete set of design files including an evaluation/windows GUI for evaluation of the MAX14914\'s features.

The board can be used for a number of applications including power management, remote/mobile system management, and LED backlight control. It is excellent for a variety of designs including PDAs, portable media players, portable gaming systems, digital still cameras, navigation systems, and camcorders.

The board utilizes a single 1V to 5V conversion. It uses a voltage translation technique called switched capacitor/charge pump to provide output voltage from its input voltage. This technique effectively reduces the output voltage droop and output voltage ripple. The board also includes a number of advanced features such as temperature monitoring, overvoltage protection, efficiency control, and thermal shutdown.

The MAX14914PMB# is a useful evaluation board for testing and debugging the MAX14914 voltage converter. It is ideal for a wide range of applications, including power management, remote/mobile system management, and LED backlight control. With its thin, low-profile design, it can be easily integrated into cramped spaces. Additionally, the board comes with a complete set of design files, including an evaluation/windows GUI, allowing for easy evaluation of the MAX14914\'s features.
