19-1793; Rev 0; 8/00 MAX1734 Evaluation Kit Features ♦ +2.7V to +5.5V Battery Input Voltage The MAX1734 features an internal P-channel MOSFET switch, a synchronous rectifier, logic-controlled shutdown, and digital soft-start to limit startup current. The MAX1734 EV kit provides low quiescent current and efficiency up to 93%, providing maximum battery life. High-frequency operation up to 1.2MHz with a maximum duty cycle of 100% allows the use of tiny surfacemount components. The EV kit can also evaluate the MAX1733 after modifications. ♦ Internal P-Channel Switch and Synchronous Rectifier ♦ +1.8V Output Voltage ♦ 250mA Output Current ♦ Efficiency >85% from 2mA to 250mA ♦ 0.01µA (typ) IC Shutdown Current ♦ 50µA Quiescent Supply Current ♦ Up to 1.2MHz (max) Switching Frequency ♦ Surface-Mount Components ♦ Fully Assembled and Tested Component List DESIGNATION QTY C1 1 Ordering Information DESCRIPTION 2.2µF, 10V X5R ceramic capacitor Taiyo Yuden LMK325BJ106MN or Taiyo Yuden LMK212BJ225MG C2 1 22µF, 6.3V tantalum capacitor AVX TAJA226M006R JU1 1 3-pin header L1 1 10µH inductor Sumida CR43-100MC R1, R2 0 Not installed U1 1 MAX1734EUK18 (5-pin SOT23, top mark ADKW) None 1 Shunt None 1 MAX1734 PC board None 1 MAX1734 data sheet None 1 MAX1734 EV kit manual PART MAX1734EVKIT TEMP. RANGE 0°C to +70°C IC PACKAGE 5 SOT23 Quick Start The MAX1734 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: 1) Connect a +2.7V (for guaranteed startup) to +5.5V supply to the VIN pad. Connect the supply ground to the GND pad. 2) Connect a voltmeter to the VOUT pad. 3) Verify that the shunt is across pins 1 and 2 on JU1, thus enabling the MAX1734. 4) Turn on the power supply and verify that the output is at +1.8V.

Detailed Description The MAX1734 EV kit contains a highly efficient switchingregulator circuit. The circuit provides a +1.8V output at 250mA from a +2.7V to +5.5V input voltage range. Digital soft-start limits current during startup. ________________________________________________________________ Maxim Integrated Products 1 For price, delivery, and to place orders, please contact Maxim Distribution at 1-888-629-4642, or visit Maxim’s website at www.maxim-ic.com. Evaluates: MAX1733/MAX1734 General Description The MAX1734 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount PC board that contains a switching-regulator circuit configured for a +1.8V output. At up to 250mA, it accepts inputs from a +2.7VDC to +5.5VDC source or a 1-cell lithium-ion (Li+) or 2- to 3-cell battery. Evaluates: MAX1733/MAX1734 MAX1734 Evaluation Kit Jumper Selection (Shutdown Mode) Table 1. Jumper JU1 Functions The MAX1734 EV kit features a shutdown mode that reduces the MAX1734 quiescent current below 5µA (max), preserving battery life. The 3-pin header, JU1, selects the shutdown mode for the circuit. Table 1 lists the selectable jumper options. SHUNT LOCATION SHDN PIN MAX1734 OUTPUT 1, 2 Connected to VIN MAX1734 enabled, VOUT = +1.8V 2, 3 Connected to GND Shutdown mode, VOUT = 0 Evaluating Other Output Voltages The output is set to +1.8V by shorting the feedback pin (FB/OUT) to VOUT. This is the default setting for the MAX1734 EV kit. To generate output voltages other than +1.8V (+1.25V to +2.0V), the MAX1734EUK18 must be replaced with a different output MAX1734 or the MAX1733EUK. When using a MAX1733, cut the PC board trace to the mounting pads of R1, and select the external voltage-divider resistors (R1, R2). Refer to the Setting the Output Voltage section in the MAX1733 data sheet for instructions on selecting R1 and R2. 1 VIN LX IN 5 U1 3 C1 2.2µF 10V SHDN JU1 FB/OUT 2 VOUT R1 (SHORTED BY PC BOARD TRACE) MAX1734 1 L1 10µH C2 22µF 6.3V 4 3 GND GND R2 OPEN 2 SHDN Figure 1.
