Evaluates: MAX1522/MAX1523/MAX1524
General Description
The MAX1522 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains
two separate step-up switching controller circuits. The
first circuit (left side) utilizes the MAX1524, is configured for +5V output, and can deliver up to 1A of current. The MAX1524 supply pin is bootstrapped to the
output. The second circuit (right side) utilizes the
MAX1522, is configured for +12V output, and can deliver up to 200mA of current with the input voltage as low
as +2.7V.
The MAX1522 and MAX1524 feature soft-start and faultdetect. The EV kit allows the user to set the on-time of
the N-channel MOSFETs to either 0.5µs or 3µs.

Quick Start
The MAX1522 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.
+5.0V Output Circuit
(BOOTSTRAPPED)
1) Verify that shunts are across pins 2 and 3 of jumper
JU1 (SET, 0.5µs) and pins 1 and 2 of jumper JU2
(SHDN).
2) Connect a +2.5V to +5.5V DC power supply to the
VIN1 pad. Connect the supply ground to the GND1
pad.
3) Turn on the power supply.
4) With a voltmeter, verify that the output voltage
VOUT1 is +5.0V.
For instructions on selecting the feedback resistors for
other output voltages, refer to Evaluating Other Output
Voltages in this document.
2
+12.0V Output Circuit
(NONBOOTSTRAPPED)
1) Verify that shunts are across pins 1 and 2 of
jumpers JU3 (SET, 3µs) and JU4 (SHDN).
2) Connect a +2.5V to +5.5V DC power supply to the
VIN2 pad. Connect the supply ground to the GND2
pad.
3) Turn on the power supply.
4) With a voltmeter, verify that the output voltage
VOUT2 is +12V.
For instructions on selecting the feedback resistors for
other output voltages, refer to Evaluating Other Output
Voltages in this document.
Detailed Description
The MAX1522 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount circuit board that contains two separate
step-up switching controller circuits.
The first circuit (left side), labeled BOOTSTRAPPED, utilizes the MAX1524, is configured for +5.0V output, and
can deliver up to 1A of current with 3.3V input voltage.
The circuit requires a +1.5V to +5.5V input DC source.
The MAX1524 VCC supply is bootstrapped to the output
to provide +5V gate drive with low input voltages. The
device features a fault-detect that reinitiates soft-start
whenever the output drops to half of its nominal voltage
regulation level.
The second circuit (right side), labeled NON-BOOTSTRAPPED, utilizes the MAX1522, is configured for
+12V output, and can deliver up to 200mA of current
with 2.7V input voltage. The circuit requires a +2.5V to
+5.5V input DC source. The MAX1522 is not bootstrapped to the output because during regulation the
+12.0V exceeds the maximum supply voltage rating of
the controller. The MAX1522 features a latched faultdetect that can be reset by toggling the SHDN pin with
the jumper provided on the EV kit.
Each circuit requires an input DC source that can supply 2A of current. Both ICs implement soft-start to prevent excessive input currents during startup. The
MAX1522 EV kit also provides jumpers to set the fixed
on-time of the N-channel MOSFETs. See Setting the
On-Time section.
Jumper Selection
Shutdown Mode
The MAX1522 EV kit features 3-pin jumpers (JU2 and
JU4) to shut down or power up the BOOTSTRAPPED or
NON-BOOTSTRAPPED circuits. Table 1 lists the selectable jumper options for jumpers JU2 and JU4.

Setting the On-Time
The MAX1522 EV kit features 3-pin jumpers (JU1 and
JU3) to set the fixed on-time of the N-channel power
MOSFET in each circuit. Table 2 lists the selectable
jumper options for jumpers JU1 and JU3. Setting the
on-time to 3µs ensures an 80% maximum duty factor
and a maximum switching frequency of 285kHz.
Setting the on-time to 0.5µs ensures a 45% maximum
duty factor and a maximum switching frequency of
1MHz.
On the left circuit (BOOTSTRAPPED) of the
MAX1522EVKIT, the inductor has been selected for
0.5µs on-time. Before switching the shunt on jumper
JU1 from pins 2 and 3 (0.5µs on-time) to pins 1 and 2
(3.0µs on-time), it is necessary to change inductor L1
to a higher value and a higher saturation current rating
to prevent inductor saturation. Refer to the Design
Procedure section of the MAX1522 data sheet for
details.
On the right circuit (NON-BOOTSTRAPPED) of the
MAX1522EVKIT, the inductor and the output voltage
setting have been selected for 3.0µs on-time. Switching
the shunt on jumper JU3 from pins 1 and 2 (3.0µs ontime) to pins 2 and 3 (0.5µs on-time) will prevent the
output voltage from reaching 12V under load. Refer to
the Design Procedure section of the MAX1522 data
sheet for details.

generate output voltages other than +5V (+2.5V to
+5.5V), replace resistors R1 and R2. Refer to the
Component List to verify that the circuit’s components
will function properly if the output voltage is reconfigured. The output voltages are determined by the following equation:
VOUT1 = VFB((R1 / R2) + 1)
where VFB = 1.25V.
Right Circuit (+12V)
The MAX1522 EV kit contains a MAX1522 step-up controller on the right side of the board (NONBOOTSTRAPPED) that is set for +12V (VOUT2) output by two
feedback resistors. To generate output voltages other
than +12.0V, replace resistors R3 and R4. Refer to the
Component List to verify that the circuit’s components
will function properly if the output voltage is reconfigured. The output voltages are determined by the following equation:
VOUT2 = VFB((R3 / R4) + 1)
where VFB = 1.25V.
Evaluating the MAX1523
The MAX1522 EV kit can also evaluate the MAX1523
step-up controller. The MAX1523 is different from the
MAX1522 in that it doesn’t latch a fault-detect. To evaluate the MAX1523, replace the MAX1522, located on
the right circuit (NON-BOOTSTRAPPED), with the
MAX1523. To request MAX1523 samples, call the
phone number listed at the bottom of page 1 of this
data sheet and ask for MAX1523EUT samples.
Evaluating Other Output Voltages
Left Circuit (+5V)
The EV kit contains a MAX1524 step-up controller on
the left side of the board (BOOTSTRAPPED) that is set
for +5V (VOUT1) output by two feedback resistors. To
