Evaluation Kit for the MAX31760 Precision Fan-Speed Controller
Manufactured By:Maxim Integrated
Part Number:MAX31760EVKIT
The MAX31760 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides the hardware and software graphical user interface (GUI) necessary to evaluate the MAX31760 precision fan-speed controller with nonvolatile lookup table. The EV kit comes with a MAX31760AEE installed, as well as mounting holes and headers for 4-wire, 3-wire, and 2-wire fans. The kit also includes a USB-to-I2C interface for easy communication with a PC.
The MAX31760 integrates temperature sensing along with precision PWM fan control. It accurately measures its local die temperature and the remote temperature of a discrete diode-connected transistor, such as a 2N3906, or a thermal diode commonly found on CPUs, graphics processor units (GPUs), and other ASICs. Multiple temperature thresholds, such as local high/overtemperature (OT) and remote high/overtemperature, can be set by an I2C-compatible interface.
