General Description The MAX7 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested circuit board that demonstrates the performance of the MAX7 high-efficiency, iso-buck DC-DC Converter. The EV kit operates over a wide input-voltage range of V to 4V and uses primary-side feedback to regulate the output voltage. The EV kit has isolated output, programmed to +V at 750mA, with 0% output voltage regulation. The EV kit comes installed with the MAX7 in a 0-pin (4mm x 4mm) TDFN package. Features V to 4V Input Voltage Range +V, 750mA Continuous Current Input 00kHz Switching Frequency 9% Peak Efficiency Overcurrent Protection No Optocoupler Delivers up to 0W Output Power Overtemperature Protection Proven PCB layout Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet. Quick Start Recommended Equipment One 5V - 0V DC, A Power Supply One resistive load 750mA sink capacity Two Digital Multimeters (DMM) Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed. Procedure The EV kit comes with the default secondary output programmed to +V. ) Verify that the J is open ) Set the power supply output to 4V. Disable the power supply ) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the VIN PCB pad and the negative terminal to the nearest PCB pad. Connect a 750mA resistive load across the +V PCB pad and the GND0 PCB pad. 4) Connect a DMM configured in voltmeter mode across the +V PCB pad and the nearest GND0 PCB pad. 5) Enable the input power supply. ) Verify that output voltage is at +V (with allowable tolerance of 0%) with respect to GND0. 7) If required, vary the input voltage from V to 4V, and the load current from 0mA to 750mA and verify that output voltage is at +V (with allowable tolerance of 0%). 9-0000; Rev 0; /7
Detailed Description The MAX7EVKITA evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit board that demonstrates the performance of the MAX7 high-efficiency, isobuck, DC-DC converter designed to provide an isolated power up to 0W. The EV kit generates +V, 750mA voltages from a V to 4V input supply. The EV kit features a forced-pwm control scheme that provides constant switching-frequency of 00 khz operation at all load and line conditions. The EV Kit includes an PCB pad to monitor and program the pin of the MAX7. The VPRI PCB pad helps measure the regulated primary output voltage (V PRI ). An additional RESETB PCB pad is available for monitoring the health of primary output voltage (V PRI ). RESETB pulls low if FB voltage drops below 9%(typ) of its set value and RESETB goes high impedance 04 clock cycles after FB voltage rises above 95% of its set value. The programmable soft-start feature allows users to reduce the input inrush current. The iso-buck is a synchronous-buck-converter-based topology, useful for generating isolated outputs at low power level without using an opto-coupler. The detailed procedure for setting the soft-start time, ENABLE/UVLO divider, primary output voltage (V PRI ) selection, adjusting the primary output voltage, primary inductance selection, turns-ratio selection, output capacitor selection, output diode selection and external loop compensation are given in MAX7 IC data sheet. Enable Control (J) The pin on the device serves as an on/ off control while also allowing the user to program the input undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold. Jumper J configures the EV kit s output for turn-on/turn-off control. Install a shunt across jumper J pins - to disable VOUT. See Table for proper J jumper configurations. Table. Enable Control () (J) Jumper Settings SHUNT POSITION PIN V OUT OUTPUT J *Default position. - Connected to V IN Always Enabled - Connected to GND Always Disabled Open* Connected to midpoint of R, R resistor-divider Enabled at V IN 5V Note : The secondary output diodes D is rated to carry short-circuit current only for few hundredths of a millisecond and is not rated to carry the continuous short-circuit current. Note : The iso-buck converter typically needs 0% minimum load to regulate the output voltage. In this design when the +V rail is healthy, U sinks the minimum load current required to regulate the output voltages within ±0% regulation. Maxim Integrated
