Procedure
The MAX20097 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on power supply until all connections are complete.
1)
Verify that all jumper positions are as shown in
Table 1.
2) Connect one of the LED string anode to the LED1+
PCB pad and the cathode to GND1. Connect the
second LED string anode to LED2+ PCB pad and
cathode to GND2 PCB pad.
3) Connect a voltmeter across the LED1+ and GND1
PCB pads and another voltmeter between LED2+
and GND2 PCB pads.
4) Connect a voltmeter across the REFI1, REF2, and
AGND test points.
5) Connect the power supply terminals to the IN and
the GND3 PCB pads.
6) Clip a current probe across the wire connecting to
the LEDs in both of the LED strings.
7) Turn on the power supply and set to a voltage
greater than the maximum LED string voltage, but
less than the 65V maximum input voltage.
8) Use a screwdriver to turn the potentiometer R23 until
voltmeter reads 1.2V. Do the same with potentiometer
R5.
9) Measure the LED current using the current probe in
both the LED strings and verify the current is 2A.
10) Use a voltmeter to verify the expected LED string
voltage for both channels.

MAX20097 Evaluation Kit
Detailed Description
Pulse-Dimming Inputs (DIM1, DIM2)
The MAX20097 is a dual-channel, high-voltage, synchronous N-channel high-current buck LED drivers. The device
uses a proprietary average current mode control scheme to
regulate the inductor current. This control method does not
require any control loop compensation while maintaining
nearly constant switching frequency. Inductor current sense
is achieved by sensing the current in the bottom switching
device. The MAX20097 integrates 2 fully synchronous buck
controllers. The devices operate over a wide input range
of 4.5V to 65V. The device is designed for high-frequency
operation and can operate as high as 1MHz.
The EV kit demonstrates the PWM dimming feature of the
MAX20097. Remove the shunt on J5. Connect a PWM signal to the DIM1 test point. Vary the duty cycle to increase
or decrease the intensity of the LED1+ string. The DIM1
and DIM2 inputs of the device have a 2V (max) rising
threshold and a 0.8V (min) falling threshold and are compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic-level signals. Remove the
shunt on J3 for PWM dimming on LED2+ string. Connect
a PWM signal to the DIM2 test point. Vary the duty cycle
to increase or decrease the intensity of the LED2+ string.
Analog Dimming Control (REFI1, REFI2)
The EV kit demonstrates the fault-protection features
of the device, which include short-LED, open-LED, and
overtemperature protection. The FLTB output is an opendrain, active-low fault indicator.
The EV kit demonstrates the analog dimming feature of
the device. R22 and R23 form a resistor-divider between
VCC and AGND and sets the voltage on REFI1 pin. R22
is a 10kΩ resistor and R23 is a 10kΩ potentiometer, with
the wiper shorted to the high side of the potentiometer.
Using a flat-blade screwdriver, turn the wiper-adjustment
pin clockwise to increase the voltage on the REFI1
input. Turn the wiper-adjustment pin counterclockwise to
decrease the voltage on the REFI input. The REFI1 input
allows for analog dimming of the LED string connected
between LED1+ and GND1. A REFI1 input voltage of
0.2V or less turns off the LED driver. A REFI1 input voltage between 0.2V and 1.2V provides linear dimming of
the LED string. A REFI input voltage greater than 1.2V
sets the LED string current to maximum current (based
on the current-sense resistor). The analog dimming on
channel 2 is controlled by the resistive-divider formed by
R3 and R4 (potentiometer). Follow the same procedure
as described for REFI1.
Alternatively, the analog dimming input can be set with
an external power supply. Remove the shunt on J6 and
connect an external power supply directly to the REFI1
test point to perform analog dimming on LED1+ string.
Remove the shunt on J1 and connect an external power
supply directly to the REFI2 test point to perform analog
dimming on LED2+ string.
Fault Indicator
Current Monitor Output
The EV kit also demonstrates the current monitor output
feature of the device. The IOUTV1 and IOUTV2 test
points output a voltage which is a measure of the LED
current. Refer to the MAX20096/MAX20097 data sheet
for the equation relating to the IOUTV1 and IOUTV2 voltage as well as the LED current.
External VCC Input
The EV kit also demonstrates operation of the device with
an external VCC input. In this case, the internal LDO is
not used. Move the shunt on J4 to pins 2-3. In this case,
IN and VCC pins of the device are shorted together. Apply
an external power supply between 4.6V and 5.5V on the
VCC test point to allow switching of the device.
Separate Power Supply Inputs
The second (LED2+) buck controller can be driven with a
separate power supply, if needed. Removing the shunt on
J2 enables to do this. Connect the second power supply
between IN2 and GND4 PCB pads.
