Quick Start
Follow the steps below to verify board operation. Do
not turn on the power supply until all connections
are completed:
1) Verify that a shunt is across the pins of jumper JU1.
2) Preset the power supply to between 2.6V and 5.5V.
3) Turn off the power supply.
4) Connect positive power-supply terminal to the pad
on the EV kit labeled V+.
5) Connect power-supply ground terminal to the pad
on the EV kit labeled GND.
6) Turn on the power supply and verify that the LEDs are lit.

General Description
The MAX1561 evaluation kit is a fully assembled and
tested circuit board that evaluates the MAX1561 white
LED step-up DC-to-DC converter. The circuit operates
from 2.6V to 5.5V and delivers an adjustable 0 to 20mA
to drive a series of up to six white LEDs in series.

MAX1561 Evaluation Kit
Changing the Number of LEDs
Detailed Description
The MAX1561 can be used to drive two to six LEDs.
The MAX1561 EV kit comes configured for driving six
LEDs. To evaluate the MAX1561 driving fewer than six
LEDs, short out the pads of the unused LEDs. For convenience, JU2 can be used to short LEDs D2 and D3
for LED operation.
Controlling LED Intensity
LED intensity can be controlled using the CTRL input.
CTRL can be used either as an analog input or a digital
input. When using CTRL as an analog input, connect a
0.24V to 1.62V voltage source to CTRL, where 0.24V
corresponds to the dimmest setting and 1.62V is full
brightness. Connecting CTRL to ground places the
MAX1561 in shutdown mode. A digital PWM signal
(200Hz to 200kHz) can also be connected directly to
CTRL. In this case, the duty cycle controls the brightness of the LEDs, where 0% corresponds to the
dimmest setting and 100% is full brightness.
A pullup resistor (R2) and jumper (JU1) are provided so
that the EV kit can be used without a connection to
CTRL. With JU1 shorted and no other connection to
CTRL, the LEDs are set to full brightness. If CTRL is
being driven, the shunt across JU1 can be removed.
Remove the jumper across JU1 when measuring quiescent current with the circuit in shutdown mode.

Evaluating Other Inductors
Inductors L2 and L3 are provided on the EV kit board to
simplify evaluation of other inductors. To evaluate these
inductors in the circuit, carefully remove L1 from the circuit and replace it with either L2 or L3.
