5) Turn on the power supply.
6) Verify that the LEDs are lit.
7) Vary the power supply from 2.7V to 4.2V.
8) To verify shutdown mode, move shunt JU1 to pins 2
and 3. The LEDs turn off.
9) Move shunt JU1 back to pins 1 and 2. The LEDs
turn back on.

Evaluates: MAX1910/MAX1912
General Description
The MAX1910 evaluation (EV) kit is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board containing a complete circuit
driving four parallel white LEDs. The circuit operates
from a 2.7V to 5.3V input supply. A MAX1910 comes
installed on the board, but the EV kit can also be used to
evaluate the MAX1912.

1) Cut the PC board traces that short the pads for R5
and R7.

Jumper Selection
2) Short the pads of R6.
Shutdown Mode
The MAX1910 features a shutdown mode that reduces
input current to 0.1µA (typ). Place the shunt across pins
1 and 2 of JU1 for normal operation. Place the shunt
across pins 2 and 3 of JU1 for shutdown mode (Table 1).
3) R5 remains open.
4) Install a resistor in R7. R7 sets the sum of all LED
currents, and its value is found from:
R7 =
0.2

Shutdown
To use an external load in place of the four LEDs (such
as an LED module), first follow the steps listed in the
Regulating the Total Current Through LEDs section.
Next, remove the four LEDs (D1–D4), or the four ballast
resistors (R1–R4). An external load can now be connected from OUT1+ to OUT1-. The current through the
external load is regulated to the current set by R7.
Regulating the Total Current Through LEDs
In the default configuration, the current through LED D4
is set by the resistor R4. The current through the other
LEDs tracks the current in the regulated LED. Refer to
the MAX1910/MAX1912 data sheet for other LED
matching and ballasting configurations.
Evaluating the MAX1912
To evaluate the MAX1912, carefully remove U1 from the
PC board and replace it with the MAX1912. Free samples of the MAX1912 can be obtained from Maxim.
The EV kit can also be configured to regulate the total
current through the LEDs by following these steps:
