MAX17055XEVKIT#: 7µA 1-Cell Li-Ion Fuel Gauge

Summary

The MAX17055G/MAX17055X evaluation kits (EV kits) are fully assembled and tested surface-mount PCBs that evaluate the stand-alone ModelGauge™ m5 host-side fuel gauge ICs for lithium-ion (Li+) batteries in handheld and portable equipment.

The MAX17055G/MAX17055X 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 the EV kit GUI software.

The EV kits are fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps below to install the EV kit software, make required hardware connections, and start operation of the kits.

The EV kit software can run without hardware attached. It automatically locates the hardware when connections are made. Note that after communication is established, the IC must still be configured correctly for the fuel gauge to be accurate. See the Battery Selection section for details.
