MAX16813EVKIT#

The MAX16813EVKIT# Evaluation Board is an LED driver board. It’s mainly used in automotive headlight and taillight applications, to precisely control both intensity and color using a two-channel buck converter and linear current regulator. The board is based on the MAX16813 IC, a high-performance current-mode buck controller integrated with a dual-channel linear current regulator and many features for automotive dashboard and headlight applications.

The MAX16813EVKIT# Evaluation Board operates at a fixed 12V supply voltage from an automotive battery and can deliver regulated current up to a maximum of 1A and 10mV ripple in each of its two outputs. It can also optionally enable up to 65 selects with a 1.25V reference voltage. This allows for precise control of both intensity and color of the LED, creating a simple, compact and efficient solution for automotive applications.

The MAX16813EVKIT# Evaluation Board incorporates several features that make it ideal for automotive applications including support for up to four overlapping channels, high efficiency and robust protection features such as over-temperature, overvoltage and overcurrent shutdown. It also supports a variety of LED dimming techniques, including pulse width modulation, voltage pulse modulation and current modulation, making it a great choice for automotive LED applications.

The MAX16813EVKIT# Evaluation Board also features advanced control logic that adjusts output current and LED brightness across all output channels, as well as multiple power states to enable power saving and dimming. Furthermore, it has built-in diagnostics and diagnostic monitoring framework to enhance system reliability.

The MAX16813EVKIT# Evaluation Board is an excellent choice for automotive applications, offering better control, reliability and efficiency than other LED drivers that are available today. Its features and performance make it an ideal solution for automotive application.
