Quick Start The MAX1724 EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow these steps to verify board operation. Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed. 3.3V Output (left side): 1) Connect a 0.91V to 3.3V supply to the VBATT pad. Connect the supply ground to the GND pad. 2) Connect a voltmeter to the VOUT pad. 3) Verify there is a shunt across pins 1 and 2 of jumper JU1 (SHDN), thus enabling the MAX1724. 4) Turn on the power supply and verify that the output is at 3.3V. ________________________________________________________________ Maxim Integrated Products For pricing, delivery, and ordering information, please contact Maxim/Dallas Direct! at 1-888-629-4642, or visit Maxim’s website at www.maxim-ic.com. 1 Evaluates: MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 General Description The MAX1724 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains two separate boost switching-regulator circuits. The left-side circuit contains a MAX1724 with a preset 3.3V output. Other preset voltages of 2.7V, 3.0V, or 5.0V are also available. The right-side circuit contains a MAX1722, which has an adjustable output voltage. This circuit’s output is set for 3.6V. All devices regulate with input voltages from 0.91V to VOUT, making them ideal for 1- or 2-cell alkaline and NiMH battery applications. The right-side circuit may also be used to evaluate the MAX1723, which features a shutdown (SHDN) mode. The MAX1722/MAX1724 has a BATT pin, which lowers the guaranteed startup voltage from 1.2V to 0.91V. The MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 feature synchronous rectification and ultra-low (1.5µA typ) quiescent current for maximum efficiency and long battery life. Operation up to 200kHz allows tiny surface-mount components. Evaluates: MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 MAX1724 Evaluation Kit 3.6V Output (right side): 1) Connect a 0.91V to 3.6V supply to the VBATT pad. Connect the supply ground to the GND pad. 2) Connect a voltmeter to the VOUT pad. 3) Verify there is a shunt across pins 1 and 2 of jumper JU2 to connect BATT to VBATT for the MAX1722. 4) Turn on the power supply and verify that the output is at 3.6V. For instructions on selecting feedback resistors for other output voltages, see Evaluating Other Output Voltages (Right Side). Detailed Description The MAX1724 EV kit contains two separate boost switching-regulator circuits. The left-side circuit (MAX1724) supplies a preset 3.3V output. The rightside circuit (MAX1722) supplies an adjustable 3.6V output, but can also be set from 2.0V to 5.5V. Both circuits regulate with input voltages from 0.91V to VOUT, but can accept higher input voltages (below 5.5V) if it is acceptable for the output voltage to rise above the set VOUT. Output current for both circuits is 50mA with a 1.2V input, and 100mA for a 2.4V input. The 3.6V output voltage (right side) can also be adjusted from 2.0V to 5.5V using external resistors R1 and R2. The input voltage ranges from 0.91V to (V OUT ) when operating from a DC source. The MAX1724 boost converter (left side) features a 0.1µA shutdown mode. Jumper Selection MAX1724 Circuit (Left Side) The MAX1724 EV kit’s shutdown mode reduces the IC’s quiescent current to 0.1µA (typ), preserving battery life. Jumper JU1 selects the shutdown mode for the MAX1724. Table 1 lists the MAX1724 jumper options. Table 1. MAX1724 Jumper JU1 Functions SHUNT LOCATION 2 SHDN PIN MAX1724 OUTPUT 1-2 Connected to VBATT MAX1724 enabled, VOUT = 3.3V 2-3 Connected to GND Shutdown mode, VOUT = VBATT - VDIODE MAX1722 Circuit (Right Side) When jumper JU2 on the right-side circuit is used with a MAX1722, pins 1 and 2 must be connected together so that BATT is connected to the battery input (VBATT). When the right-side circuit is used to evaluate a MAX1723, see Evaluating the MAX1723 section. Table 2 lists the MAX1722 jumper options. Table 2. MAX1722 Jumper JU2 Functions SHUNT LOCATION BATT PIN 1-2 Connected to VBATT 2-3 Not allowed 3.6V Output (right side): 1) Connect a 0.91V to 3.6V supply to the VBATT pad. Connect the supply ground to the GND pad. 2) Connect a voltmeter to the VOUT pad. 3) Verify there is a shunt across pins 1 and 2 of jumper JU2 to connect BATT to VBATT for the MAX1722. 4) Turn on the power supply and verify that the output is at 3.6V. For instructions on selecting feedback resistors for other output voltages, see Evaluating Other Output Voltages (Right Side). Evaluating Other Output Voltages (Right Side) The MAX1722 output is set to 3.6V by feedback resistors R1 and R2. To generate output voltages other than 3.6V (2.0V to 5.5V), select different external voltagedivider resistors (R1, R2). Refer to the Setting the Output Voltage section in the MAX1722/MAX1723/ MAX1724 data sheet for instructions on selecting R1 and R2 for the MAX1722/MAX1723. Evaluating the MAX1723 The MAX1723 can be evaluated using the MAX1722 circuit (right side). Replace the MAX1722 with a MAX1723EZK. Diode D1 (Motorola MBR0520L or equivalent) may be necessary for low-voltage startup. Refer to the Low-Voltage Startup Oscillator section in the MAX1722/MAX1723/MAX1724 data sheet for additional instructions on selecting D1. _______________________________________________________________________________________ MAX1724 Evaluation Kit VBATT 0.91V TO VOUT U1 MAX1724 1 VBATT 0.91V TO VOUT C1 10µF 10V GND SHDN 1 2 JU1 3 BATT LX 2 GND OUT 3 SHDN GND C3 10µF 10V JU2 U2 1 2 1 MAX1722 BATT LX 3 5 2 4 C2 10µF 10V GND OUT 3.3V VOUT 3 FB GND D1 (OPEN) 5 VOUT 3.6V 4 R1 2.00MΩ C4 10µF 10V R2 1.02MΩ GND Figure 1.
