Quick Start
Required Equipment
● MAX15090 EV kit
● 12V, 12A DC power supply
● Voltmeter
Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation. Caution: Do not turn on
the power supply until all connections are completed.
1) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1-2 on
2) Turn on the power supply and set the supply to 12V,
3) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to
4) Enable the power supply.
5) Verify that the voltage between the OUT and GND
6) Verify that the internal regulator voltage (REG) is 3.3V.
7) The EV kit is now ready for additional evaluation.
Detailed Description of Hardware

the load using the banana jacks provided for the input and
output. PCB pads are provided to monitor and control the
device signals. The MAX15090 EV kit operates between
2.7V and 18V up to 12A load current capability.
Evaluating the MAX15090A
The MAX15090A EV kit can be used to evaluate the
MAX15090A, with the MAX15090AEWI+ installed. The
MAX15090A is pin-to-pin compatible with the MAX15090.
Refer to the MAX15090/MAX15090A IC data sheet for
details on the MAX15090A.
Circuit Breaker (CB)
Jumper JU1 sets the current limit for the internal circuit
breaker (CB) of the device. The CB pin can be connected
to a fixed resistor (R5) or a potentiometer (R11) to set the
current limit. See Table 1 for shunt positions.
The circuit-breaker threshold can be set according to the
following formula:
