The MAX16821B EV kit circuit is designed to evaluate
the MAX16821B PWM LED driver controller. The EV kit
is configured in a boost topology and provides 660mA
LED current for a string of user-supplied external high-
brightness LEDs (HBLEDs) rated up to 28V. The
MAX16821B EV kit operates from a DC supply voltage
of 7V to 28V.
The EV kit average input current is set to 3.75A using
resistor R6. The LED current is set to 660mA using resis-
tor R7. A PWMDIM PCB pad is provided for PWM dim-
ming operation of the external LEDs. A CLKOUT PCB
pad is also available to drive a second LED current regu-
lator 180° out-of-phase with the first EV kit.
