General Description

The MAX1535B evaluation kit (EV kit) is an efficient,

multichemistry battery charger. It uses the Intel System

Management Bus (SMBus™) to control the battery reg-

ulation voltage, charger current output, and input cur-

rent-limit set point.

The MAX1535B EV kit can charge one, two, three, or

four series Li+ cells with a current up to 8A.

The MAX1535B evaluation system (EV system) consists

of a MAX1535B EV kit and the Maxim SMBUSMON

2000-/XP-compatible software to provide a user-friendly

interface.
