Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAXM15062 3.3V output evaluation kit (EV kit)
provides a proven design to evaluate the MAXM15062
high-voltage, high-efficiency, synchronous step-down
DC-DC module. The EV kit is programmed to deliver
3.3V output for loads up to 300mA. The EV kit features
an adjustable input undervoltage lockout, selectable
mode, and open-drain RESET signal. The MAXM15062
data sheet provides a complete description of the module
that should be read in conjunction with this EV kit data

Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
●● One 4.5V to 60V, 300mA power supply
●● 1W resistive load with 300mA sink capacity
●● Four digital multimeters (DMM)
●● MAXM15062EVKIT#
Equipment Setup and Test Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify the board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on power supply until all
connections are completed.
1) Set the power supply at a voltage between 4.5V and
60V. Then, disable the power supply.
2) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to
the VIN PCB pad and the negative terminal to the
nearest GND PCB pad. Connect the positive terminal of the 300mA load to the VOUT PCB pad and the
negative terminal to the nearest GND PCB pad.
3) Connect the DVM (DMM in voltage-measurement
mode) across the VOUT PCB pad and the nearest
GND PCB pad.
4) Verify that shunt is not installed on jumper J1
(see Table 1 for details).
5) Turn on the DC power supply.
6) Enable the load.
7) Verify that the DVM displays 3.3V.

Detailed Description
Input Capacitor Selection
The MAXM15062 EV kit is designed to demonstrate
salient features of MAXM15062 power module. The EV kit
includes an EN/UVLO PCB pad, and jumper J1, to enable
the output at a desired input voltage. Jumper J2 allows
selection of either PWM or PFM mode of operation based
on light-load performance requirements. An additional
RESET pad is available for monitoring if the converter
output voltage is in regulation.
Output Capacitor Selection
X7R ceramic output capacitors are preferred due to their
stability over temperature in industrial applications. The
required output capacitor (C5) for 3.3V output is selected
from Table 1 of the MAXM15062 data sheet as 10µF/6.3V.
Fixed Output Voltage
The MAXM15062 is a fixed 3.3V output module. Connect
FB of MAXM15062 directly to VOUT for feedback control.
Enable/Undervoltage-Lockout (EN/UVLO)
Programming
The MAXM15062 offers an adjustable input undervoltagelockout feature. In this EV kit, for normal operation, leave
jumper J1 open. When J1 is left open, the MAXM15062 is
enabled when the input voltage rises above 5.4V. To disable MAXM15062, install a jumper across pins 2-3 on J1.
See Table 1 for J1 settings. A potential divider formed by
R1 and R2 sets the input voltage (VINU) at which the module is enabled. The value of resistor R1 is chosen to be
2.2MΩ, and R2 is calculated using the following equation:
R2 =
R 1 × 1.215
( VINU − 1.215 )
where R1 and R2 are in kΩ,
For MAXM15062 to turn on at 5.4V input, the Resistor R2
is calculated to be 634kΩ.
The input capacitor serves to reduce the current peaks
drawn from the input power supply and reduces switching
frequency ripple at the input. The input capacitance must
be greater than or equal to the value given in Table 1 of
MAXM15062 data sheet. Input capacitor C3 is chosen to
be 1µF/100V.
Electro-Magnetic Interference (EMI)
Compliance to conducted emissions (CE) standards
requires an EMI filter at the input of a switching power
converter. The EMI filter attenuates high-frequency currents drawn by the switching power converter, and limits
the noise injected back into the input power source.
Use of EMI filter components as shown in Figure 1 in
conjunction with the schematic results in lower conducted emissions, below CISPR22 Class B limits. The
MAXM15062 EV kit PCB layout is also designed to limit
radiated emissions from switching nodes of the power
converter, resulting in radiated emissions below CISPR22
Class B limits.
Hot-Plug-In and Long Input Cables
The MAXM15062 EV kit PCB provides an optional
electrolytic capacitor (C2, 4.7µF/100V) to dampen input
voltage peaks and oscillations that can arise during hotplug-in and/or due to long input cables. This capacitor
limits the peak voltage at the input of the MAXM15062
power module, when the EV kit is powered directly from a
precharged capacitive source or an industrial backplane
PCB. Long input cables, between input power source and
the EV kit circuit can cause input-voltage oscillations due
to the inductance of the cables. The equivalent series
resistance (ESR) of the electrolytic capacitor helps damp
out the oscillations caused by long input cables. Further,
capacitor C1 (0.1µF/100V), placed near the input of the
board, helps in attenuating high frequency noise.

Mode of Operation
The MAXM15062 features PFM mode of operation to
increase the efficiency at light-load condition. If the MODE
pin is left unconnected during powerup, the module
operates in PFM mode at light loads. If the MODE pin is
connected to GND during power-up, the part operates in
constant-frequency PWM mode at all loads. See Table 2
for J2 settings.
