EVAL-ADM1281-AZ

EVAL-ADM1281-AZ is a compact, full-featured evaluation board for the ADM1281. The board layout provides a clear visual of all the peripheral components and the hot-swap power path. The layout also maximizes the ability of the board to dissipate heat for some of the key components on the power path, which allows the evaluation of very high current hot-swap setups. Five sense-resistor slots and six multipackage FET slots provide great flexibility and allow a wide range of application setups. The evaluation board supports I2C communication, which allows users to communicate with the ADM1281. The evaluation board also supports cascade setup so multiple evaluation boards can be connected together and share the same I2C bus. The board is fully compatible with the hot-swap and power monitoring evaluation software and the LTpowerPlay tools. Users need a USB-SDP-CABLEZ or a DC1613A USB-to-I2C serial interface to use the evaluation software tools.
