Using the above equations, the relationship between the
output voltage, V
the load is found to be:
This equation is used to determine the relationship
between the output voltage and the amount of power
being delivered to the load.
The MAX4210E EV kit can also be used to evaluate
MAX4210A, MAX4210B, MAX4210C, MAX4210D, and
MAX4210F. To properly evaluate the different MAX4210
versions, changes will need to be made to the MAX4210E
EV kit. The ratio of output voltage to power delivered to
the load, as listed in the Output Power section, is applica-
ble when using any of the MAX4210 versions.
To evaluate the MAX4210A/MAX4210B/MAX4210C,
replace the MA4210EETT with the MAX4210AETT/
MAX4210BETT/MAX4210CETT, respectively. Remove
the shunt from jumper JU1. If a different full-scale load
current is needed or a different full-scale sense voltage

is used, see the Measuring the Load Current section for
details on choosing an appropriate sense resistor. When
using the MAX4210A/MAX4210B/MAX4210C, the VIN
pad on the EV kit has no function. For proper evaluation
do not allow the source voltage to exceed 25V.
To evaluate the MAX4210D/MAX4210F, replace the
MA4210EETT with the MAX4210DETT/MAX4210FETT.
Refer to the MAX4210 IC data sheet for specific informa-
tion on MAX4210D and MAX4210F. The EV kit can be
configured to have the source voltage measurement
taken from the external resistor-divider or from the VIN
pad. See Table 1 for proper jumper settings. Using R3 =
100kΩ (typ) the external resistor-divider can be config-
ured using the following formula:
where V
Depending on the V
external resistor-divider or the voltage applied to the
VIN pad to ensure that the voltage at the IN input of the
IC does not exceed 1V. If the full-scale load current or
full-scale sense voltage is changed from 10A and
100mV, respectively, then the current-sense resistor
value must be changed. See the equation found in the
Measuring the Load Current section for details on
selecting a new current-sense resistor.
