MAX71020AEVK1#
Evaluates: MAX71020A
General Description
The MAX71020AEVK1# evaluation kit (EV kit) demon-
strates the capabilities of the MAX71020A embedded
energy measurement (EM) device. The EVK can mea-
sure AC and/or DC current and voltage utilizing a surface
mount resistive shunt and resistive voltage divider.
The EV kit provides an isolated SPI interface to the device
over USB. A provided Windows
®
graphical user interface
(GUI) handles translation from the USB to device-specific
SPI protocols.
Benefits and Features
●
Allows Evaluation of the MAX71020A Embedded
Energy Measurement Device in a Safe and Simple
Manner
• Isolated SPI/USB for User Safety
• Windows Graphical User Interface (GUI) Handles
All Common Tasks
• Easy Hook Up to Test Equipment or Other Test
Environments
• Fully Assembled and Tested
• Precalibrated with Utility Meter Grade Equipment
●
Highly Accurate AFE for Testing
• AC 2000:1 Dynamic Current Range at 0.5% Accuracy
• DC Voltage and/or Current Measurement
SAFETY AND ESD NOTES
THE DEMO SYSTEM IS ESD SENSITIVE! TAKE ESD PRECAUTIONS WHEN HANDLING THE DEMO
BOARD! CONNECTING LIVE VOLTAGES TO THE DEMO BOARD SYSTEM WILL RESULT IN POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ON THE DEMO BOARD.
TAKE EXTREME CAUTION WHEN HANDLING THE DEMO BOARD AFTER IT IS CONNECTED TO LIVE
VOLTAGES! BOARD GROUND IS DIRECTLY CONNECTED TO LINE VOLTAGE! ANY TEST EQUIPMENT
CONNECTED TO THE DEMO BOARD WHEN THE BOARD IS CONNECTED TO LIVE VOLTAGES MUST
BE ELECTRICALLY ISOLATED FROM THE AC MAINS. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS MAY RESULT IN
DESTRUCTION OF THE DEMO BOARD AND THE TEST EQUIPMENT, AND IN PERSONAL INJURY OR
DEATH.
