Evaluation Kit for MAX44211 High-Current Differential Line Driver
The MAX44211 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX44211 high-current differential line driver for powerline communications (PLC). The line driver is an efficient low-distortion power amplifier that provides high current to the low-impedance loads. The MAX44211 EV kit printed circuit board (PCB) comes with a MAX44211ETP in a 20-pin TQFN package.
The MAX44211 is a low-distortion line driver customized for powerline communication (PLC) applications where high output current is needed to drive the isolation and coupling transformer under varying load conditions. The MAX44211 can be switched to implement all world standards, trading off improved linearity for increased quiescent current. The MAX44211 delivers a high 1.5A linear output current and provides peak-to-peak differential voltage swing of up to 36V. The MAX44211 features very low intermodulation and harmonic distortion ensuring they meet worldwide PLC standards.
