General Description
The MAX16928 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount PCB that provides the voltages
and features required for automotive thin-film transistor
(TFT), liquid-crystal display (LCD) applications. The EV
kit includes a boost converter, a 3.3V regulator controller
with external npn transistor, two gate voltage regulators,
a single-stage positive charge pump, and a single-stage
negative charge pump.
The EV kit can operate from 4.5V to 5.5V input voltages
and is optimized for automotive TFT-LCD applications.
The boost converter is configured for a 12V output that
provides at least 400mA. The regulator controller output
is 3.3V and provides at least 500mA. The positive-gate
voltage regulator provides 18V output and the negativegate voltage regulator provides -5.9V.

Detailed Description of Hardware
• Voltmeter
Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation. Caution: Do not turn on
the power supply until all connections are completed.
1) Verify that a shunt is installed on pins 1-2 on jumper
JU1.
2) Verify that a shunt is installed on pins 2-3 on jumper
JU2.
3) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to
the INA PCB pad. Connect the negative terminal of the
power supply to the PGNDP PCB pad closest to INA.
4) Set the power-supply INA to 5V.
5) Turn on the power supply.
6) Verify that the step-up switching regulator (VSH)
is 12V.
7) Verify that the 3.3V regulator is 3.3V.
Jumper Settings
Several jumper settings in the following tables illustrate
features of the EV kit.
Boost Circuitry and 3.3V Regulator
Controller Enable Input (JU1)
The device’s ENP pin enables the boost circuitry and the
3.3V regulator controller. For normal operation, drive ENP
high by installing a shunt on pins 1-2 on jumper JU1. For
shutdown mode, drive ENP low by installing a shunt on
pins 2-3 on JU1. See Table 1 for JU1 configuration.

Supply Sequencing (JU2)
The device’s SEQ pin controls the order in which the
VGH and VGL supplies are sequenced. When a shunt
is installed on pins 1-2 on jumper JU2, VGL is turned on
first followed by VGH. When a shunt is installed on pins
2-3, VGH is turned on first followed by VGL. See Table 2
for JU2 configuration.
Output-Voltage Selection
Boost Converter
The EV kit’s boost-converter output (VSH) is set to
12V by feedback resistors R11 and R12. To generate
output voltages other than 12V, select R12 in the 10kI
to 50kI range and select R11 according to the following
equation:
V
R11 = R12 × VSH − 1
VFBP
where VVSH is the desired boost output voltage and
VFBP is the boost converter’s feedback set point
(1V typ). When increasing the boost output voltage, be
careful not to exceed the absolute maximum rating of
the CP pin (31V with INA = 5V and 29V with INA = 3.3V).
Positive-Gate Voltage Regulator
The EV kit’s positive-gate voltage regulator output (GH)
is set to 18V by feedback resistors R6 and R7. To generate output voltages other than 18V, select R7 in the 10kI
to 50kI range and select R6 according to the following
equation:
V
R6 = R7 × GH − 1
V
FBGH
Negative-Gate Voltage Regulator
The EV kit’s negative-gate voltage regulator output (VGL)
is set to -5.9V by feedback resistors R14 and R15. To
generate output voltages other than -5.9V, select R15
to be greater than 20kI to avoid loading down the
reference output. Select R14 according to the following
equation:
V
− VGL
R14 = R15 × FBGL
VREF − VFBGL
where VGL is the desired negative-gate regulator output
voltage, VREF = 1.25V, and VFBGL is the negative-gate
feedback set point (0.25V typ). Note that the negativegate voltage regulator is not short-circuit protected and
can be damaged by overcurrent.
Charge Pumps
The EV kit provides a single-stage positive charge pump
(VCP) and single-stage negative charge pump (VCN).
The output voltages generated on the storage capacitors
are given by:
VVCP = 2 × VVSH + VSCHOTTKY − 2 × VD
VVCN = −(VVSH + VSCHOTTKY − 2 × VD )
where VSCHOTTKY is the forward-voltage drop of the
Schottky diode and VD is the forward-voltage drop of the
charge-pump diode.
Evaluating Other Versions of MAX16928
The EV kit comes standard with the MAX16928AGUP/
V+ IC installed, but can also evaluate several versions
of the MAX16928. The IC provides a variety of power
options to meet the most common automotive TFT-LCD
display-power requirements, as outlined in the Ordering
Information table in the MAX16928 IC data sheet. Note
some components, such as the inductor value and
compensation component values, may need to change
when evaluating other versions of the IC. Refer to the
Design Procedure section of the MAX16928 IC data
sheet for further details.
where VGH is the desired positive-gate regulator output
voltage and VFBGH is the positive-gate feedback set
point (1V typ). With the installed charge-pump doubler,
GH voltages greater than approximately 2 x VSH cannot
be produced.
