Evaluates: MAX1763 General Description The MAX1763 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains two separate boost switching-regulator circuits. The first circuit (left side) utilizes a MAX1763 in a 16-pin QSOP package and is configured for a +3.3V output that accepts inputs from a +0.7V to VOUT source and provides up to 1.1A of current. A 1- or 2-cell alkaline battery source can also power the input. The second circuit (right side) uses a MAX1763 in a high-power 16-pin TSSOP-EP (exposed pad) package, is configured for a +3.3V output, and supplies up to 1.4A of current. It accepts inputs from a +0.7V to +5.5V source, or a 1- or 2-cell alkaline battery can power the input. The right side includes a low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator that draws power from the +3.3V output and provides +2.8V at up to 1A of current. The MAX1763 features an internal N-channel MOSFET switch, a P-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier, and pulse-width modulation (PWM) operation for maximum efficiency. The MAX1763 EV kit demonstrates low quiescent current and high efficiency up to 96% for maximum battery life. Operation at 1MHz allows the use of tiny surface-mount components.

Quick Start The MAX1763 EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps below to verify board operation. Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed. +3.3V Output Low Power (left side) 1) Connect a +1.1V to +3.2V supply to the VIN pad; connect the supply ground to the GND pad. 2) Connect a voltmeter to the left-side POUT pad. 3) Verify that jumpers JU1 (ONB) and JU4 (battery monitor) have shunts across pins 2 and 3 on each jumper. 4) Verify that jumpers JU2 (ONA) and JU3 (CLK/SEL) have shunts across pins 1 and 2 on each jumper. 5) Turn on the power supply and verify that the output (POUT) is +3.3V. For instructions on selecting other output voltages at POUT, see the Evaluating Other Output Voltages at POUT section. +3.3V High-Power Output (right side) 1) Connect a +1.1V to +3.2V supply to the VIN pad; connect the supply ground to the GND pad. 2) Connect a voltmeter to the POUT pad. 3) Verify that jumper JU5 (ONB) has a shunt across pins 2 and 3. 4) Verify that jumpers JU6 (ONA), JU7 (CLK/SEL), and JU8 (LDO) have a shunt across pins 1 and 2 on each jumper. above 1A, see the Linear Output and +3.3V Output Power section. Detailed Description The MAX1763 EV kit contains two separate boost switching-regulator circuits using different package technologies. Both circuits provide a +3.3V output. The left circuit requires a +0.7V to VOUT input voltage range. The +3.3V output supplies up to 1.1A of current. A low-battery detection circuit is included, which requires selection of a resistor and a configuration jumper change (JU4) to enable the circuit. Figure 1 is the MAX1763 EV kit schematic for the left side. The right circuit requires a +1.1V to VOUT input voltage range and its +3.3V output supplies up to 1.4A of current. An LDO linear regulator circuit draws power from the +3.3V output and can supply up to 1A of current. The total current drawn from the main output (POUT) and the LDO linear regulator output (VOUT) must not exceed 1.4A. Figure 2 is the MAX1763 EV kit schematic for the right side. The output voltage (POUT) on both circuits can be adjusted for a range of +2.5V to +5.5V with external resistors. Resistors R1 and R2 adjust the left-side POUT voltage, while R9 and R10 adjust the right-side POUT voltage. The input voltage range is from +1.1V to (VPOUT) from a DC source or batteries. Jumper Selection The MAX1763 EV kit features jumpers that provide several options, such as shutdown mode, CLK/SEL settings, battery monitor, and LDO linear regulator configurations. Shutdown Mode (MAX1763, left side) The MAX1763 EV kit features a shutdown mode that typically reduces the MAX1763 quiescent current to less than 1µA, preserving battery life. The 3-pin jumpers, JU1 and JU2, select the shutdown mode for the MAX1763. Tables 1 and 2 list the selectable jumper options. Table 1.
