Description

Create a design and simulate using EE-Sim^® tools:

The MAX17201G/MAX17201X/MAX17211G/MAX17211X evaluation kits (EV kits) are fully assembled and tested surface-mount PCBs that evaluate the stand-alone ModelGauge™ m5 pack-side fuel-gauge ICs for lithiumion (Li+) batteries in handheld and portable equipment. The MAX17201 and MAX17211 are for single-cell applications. See the MAX17205 and MAX17215 for multicell applications.

The MAX17201G/MAX17201X/MAX17211G/MAX17211X EV kits include the Maxim DS91230+ USB interface, IC evaluation board, and RJ-11 connection cable. Windows^® based graphical user interface (GUI) software is available for use with the EV kit and can be downloaded from Maxim’s website www.maximintegrated.com/evkitsoftware. Windows 7 or newer Windows operating system is required to use with the EV kit GUI software.
