19-1372; Rev 1; 6/98 MAX881R Evaluation Kit The MAX881R IC is an inverting, charge-pump DC-DC converter with a low-noise, regulated output. Low output ripple voltage makes this device ideal for biasing the GaAsFETs commonly found in cellular telephone transmitters. The MAX881R evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount board. Provisions are made for mounting a second voltage-divider resistor, which is required for setting output voltages other than -2V. A special scope-probe socket is also mounted on the board, so output noise can be observed on an oscilloscope. Features ♦ 1mVp-p Output Voltage Ripple ♦ 2.5V to 5.5V Input Range ♦ Uses One 4.7µF and Three 1µF Ceramic Capacitors ♦ -2V Regulated Output (or Adjustable) ♦ 4mA Output Current ♦ Power OK (POK) Output ♦ Fully Assembled and Tested Surface-Mount Board Component List DESIGNATION QTY Ordering Information DESCRIPTION PART TEMP.

Follow the steps below to verify board operation. Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed. U1 1 MAX881RREUB 1) Connect a 2.5V to 5.5V supply to the pad labeled VIN. Connect the ground lead to the pad labeled GND. None 1 Shunt 2) Connect a voltmeter and the load to the VOUT pad. None 1 Printed circuit board 3) Make sure there is no shunt across JU1. Component Suppliers SUPPLIER PHONE 4) Turn on the power and verify that the output is -2V. You can insert a scope probe into J1 to observe the output noise. Be sure the scope ground makes contact with the outside of the connector.

Evaluates: MAX881R General Description Evaluates: MAX881R MAX881R Evaluation Kit Detailed Description Jumper Selection The 2-pin header, JU1, controls pin 5 (SHDN) on the IC. Table 1 outlines the shunt positions for JU1. The POK pad allows easy connection to an external system. This output pulls low when the bias voltage has reached 92.5% of its set value. Output Voltage Adjustment For output voltages other than -2V, install R1 to complete the R1/R2 output voltage divider. R2 is a 100kΩ, 1% resistor. To maintain accuracy, use a 1% resistor for R1. Use the following equations to calculate R1: Capacitor Selection Use capacitors with a low effective series resistance (ESR), such as ceramic or surface-mount chip tantalum types. Output ripple with the supplied components is typically 1mVp-p. For lower output ripple, replace C4 with a 10µF ceramic capacitor such as the Taiyo Yuden JMK316BJ106ML or a 10µF tantalum such as the Sprague 595D106X0010A2. Table 1.
