The MAX22700–MAX22702 evaluation kits (EV kits)
provide a proven design to evaluate the MAX22700–
MAX22702 family of single-channel isolated gate drivers
with ultra-high common-mode transient immunity (CMTI)
of 300kV/µs (typ). Two identical channels (devices) are
included on the EV kit in order to demonstrate the very
tight part-to-part propagation delay matching of 2ns (max)
over the -40°C to +125°C operating temperature range.
Two types of evaluation kits, MAX22701EVKIT# and
MAX22702EVKIT#, are available to support variants with
different B-side options, gate driver common pin GNDB
(MAX22700), Miller Clamp pin (MAX22701), and adjustable
undervoltage-lockout pin (MAX22702). In addition,
both EV kits support variants with different A-side options,
differential inputs (D versions), or a single-ended input
with an enable pin (E versions). Both evaluation boards
come with the narrow-body 8-pin SOIC package type.
See Table 1 for EV kit options.
The MAX22701EVKIT# is fully assembled and tested,
and comes populated with the MAX22701EASA+ (see
Figure 1). This board also supports the MAX22701DASA+,
but requires the user to replace U1 and U2.
The MAX22702EVKIT# is fully assembled and tested,
and comes populated with the MAX22702EASA+ (see
Figure 2). This board also supports the MAX22700DASA+,
MAX22700EASA+, and MAX22702DASA+ if the user
replaces U1, U2, and necessary external components
on the B side. See Table 3 and Evaluate MAX22700 on
MAX22702EVKIT# section for details.
The EV kits should be powered from multiple independent
isolated power supplies as required by the different power
domains. The A side of the MAX22700–MAX22702 family
has a nominal supply-voltage range from 3V to 5.5V. The
B side has a nominal supply-voltage range of 13V to 36V
or 6V to 36V depending upon the target device. For evaluating
the electrical parameters of the devices without any
isolation between the two sides and two devices, a common
ground can be shared among different power domains.
Note: When ordering an EV kit, if the desired device is not the MAX22701EASA+ or the MAX22702EASA+, request samples of the desired MAX22700–MAX22702 IC that can be soldered to the PCB.
