General Description
The MAX16929 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 one step-down and one step-up switching
regulator, one positive gate and one negative gate voltage regulator, one 3.3V regulator controller with external
npn transistor, and one positive and one negative charge
pump.
The EV kit can operate from 4.5V to 28V input voltages
and is optimized for automotive TFT-LCD applications.
The step-down switching regulator is configured for a 5V

Quick Start
• MAX16929 EV kit
Recommended Equipment
• 4.5V to 28V, 2A DC power supply
Detailed Description of Hardware
Jumper Settings
Several jumper settings in the following tables illustrate
some of the features of the EV kit.
Boost Circuitry and 3.3V Regulator
Controller Enable Input (JU1)
• 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 shunts are installed on jumpers JU1, JU3,
and JU4.
2) Verify that a shunt is installed on pins 2-3 of jumper
JU2.
3) Verify that a shunt is installed on pins 1-2 of jumpers
JU6 and JU7.
4) Verify that a shunt is installed on pins 1-3 of jumper
JU8.
5) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to
the IN1 PCB pad. Connect the negative terminal of the
power supply to the PGND PCB pads closest to IN1.
6) Set the power-supply VIN to 12V.
7) Turn on the power supply and verify that the
step-down switching regulator output (VBUCK) is 5V.
8) Verify that the step-up switching regulator (VSH)
is 12V.
9) Verify that the 3.3V regulator is 3.3V.
10) Verify that the positive gate voltage regulator (VGH)
is approximately 18V.
11) Verify that the negative gate voltage regulator (VGL)
is approximately -6.2V.

The device’s ENP pin enables the boost circuitry, charge
pumps, and 3.3V regulator controller. When a shunt is
installed on jumper JU1, the boost converter, charge
pumps, and 3.3V regulator are enabled. When JU1 is left
open, the corresponding outputs are disabled. 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 of 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.
INA Input Supply (JU3)
The boost converter and 3.3V regulator controller’s input
(INA) can be supplied from the output of the step-down
regulator or from an external 5V power supply. Jumper
JU3 controls the INA supply options. See Table 3 for JU3
configuration.
Buck Converter Enable Input (JU4)
The device’s ENB pin enables the step-down switching
regulator circuitry. When a shunt is installed on jumper
JU4, the buck converter is enabled. When JU4 is left
open, the buck converter is disabled. See Table 4 for
JU4 configuration.

Charge-Pump Configuration (JU6, JU7)
The EV kit provides a single-stage positive and negative
charge pump. For additional flexibility, the option to add
an additional stage to these charge pumps is also provided. To use the default single-stage charge pumps, set
jumpers JU6 and JU7 to pins 1-2. To utilize the additional
circuitry, JU6 and JU7 must be set to pins 2-3. Additional
components must be populated when using this option;
C40, C42, and D9 for the negative charge pump and C41,
C43, and D8 for the positive charge pump. Refer to the
Charge Pumps section in the MAX16929 IC data sheet
for more detailed information and component selection.
When using multiple charge-pump stages, it is important
not to exceed the maximum rating of the CP pin.
Positive Charge-Pump
Adjustable Output (JU8)
The EV kit’s positive charge-pump output voltage can
be adjusted through jumper JU8. JU8 sets the voltage at
D1’s anode (the voltage to which flying capacitor C3 is
charged), in turn setting the output. Refer to the Charge
Pumps section in the MAX16929 IC data sheet for more
detailed information. See Table 5 for JU8 configuration.
Output-Voltage Selection
Boost Converter
The EV kit’s step-up switching-regulator output (VSH)
is set to 12V by feedback resistors R11 and R12. To
generate output voltages other than 12V, select different
external voltage-divider resistors, R11 and R12. Refer to
the Boost Converter, Output-Voltage Selection section in
the MAX16929 IC data sheet for more information. When
using higher boost output voltages, it is important not to
exceed the maximum rating of the CP pin.
Positive Gate Voltage Regulator
The EV kit’s positive gate voltage regulator output (VGH)
is set to 18V by feedback resistors R6 and R7. To generate output voltages other than 18V, select different
external voltage-divider resistors, R6 and R7. Refer to
the Positive Gate Voltage Regulator, Output-Voltage
Selection section in the MAX16929 IC data sheet for
more information.
Negative Gate Voltage Regulator
The EV kit’s negative gate voltage regulator output
(VGL) is set to -6.2V by feedback resistors R14 and R15.
To generate output voltages other than -6.2V, select
different external voltage-divider resistors, R14 and R15.
Refer to the Negative Gate Voltage Regulator, OutputVoltage Selection section in the MAX16929 IC data sheet
for more information.
