Jumpers JU2–JU11 are provided to connect RC loads at the MAX17108Y 1–Y10 outputs. The MAX17108 VCOM amplifier output is configured as a unity-gain buffer and is set to half the voltage applied at the AVDD PCB pad, using resistors R1 and R2. To reconfigure VCOM to other voltages, replace resistor R1. The VCOM output can be monitored using the EV kit VCOM and GND PCB pads. 11) Enable the AVDD positive power supply and set it to +12V. 12) Enable the GON1 positive power supply and set it to +20V. 13) Adjust potentiometer R56 until the voltmeter at LDO_OUT reads +3.3V. 14) Verify that the output of the high-speed op amp (VCOM) is +6V. 15) Verify that test points TP1–TP10 outputs are +20V. The MAX17108EV kit requires two positive power supplies and one negative power supply for proper evaluation of the EV kit. AVDD requires a +6V to +20V power supply that provides up to 250mA of current. GON1 and GON2 each require a +12V to +38V power supply providing up to 500mA of current. GOFF requires a -12V to -4V power supply that provides up to 500mA of current. Detailed Description of Hardware The MAX17108 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount PCB that evaluates the MAX17108 10-channel, high-voltage level-shifting scan drivers for thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal display (LCD) applications. The EV kit requires two positive power supplies and one negative power supply. AVDD requires a +6V to +20V power supply that provides up to 250mA of current. A +12V to +38V power supply that provides up to 1A of current is required when powering both the GON1 and GON2 inputs. The GON1 and GON2 inputs can also be powered using separate power supplies that provide up to 500mA each of current. GOFF requires a -12V to -4V power supply that provides up to 500mA of current. The MAX17108 logic level to high-voltage level-shifting scan drivers can buffer 10 logic inputs (A1–A10) and shift them to a desired level (Y1–Y10) for driving TFTLCD row logic. GON1 supplies the high-voltage levels at the MAX17108 buffers Y1–Y6, Y9, and Y10 when its respective input is a logic-high. GON2 supplies the high-voltage levels at the MAX17108 buffers Y7 and Y8 when its respective input is a logic-high. GOFF supplies the low-voltage level at all of the scan-driver outputs when their input is a logic-low. DIP switch SW1 is used to set a DC logic-high level at A1–A10 inputs for testing purposes, by using a high-voltage input LDO regulator U2 (MAX6771) and potentiometer R56. Jumper JU1 is provided for evaluation of the MAX17108 EV kit when utilizing one power source for the MAX17108 GON1 and GON2 power inputs. See the Power Supplies Configuration section for proper Power Supplies Configuration Jumper JU1 configures the input power source for GON2. Install a shunt across pins 1-2 of jumper JU1 to select GON1 as the input power source for GON2. Install a shunt across pins 2-3 of jumper JU1 to apply an external power source at the GON2 and PGND PCB pads. Buffers Y7 and Y8 output the voltage applied at the GON2 PCB pad. See Table 1 for proper jumper JU1 configuration. Table 1. GON2 Power Source Selection (JU1) SHUNT POSITION GON2 IC PIN 1-2 Connected to GON1 2-3 Connected to external power source at GON2 and PGND PCB pads Additional surface-mount 1206 PCB pads are provided for adding additional bulk capacitance at C1, C88, C89, and C90 when interfacing long wires to the EV kit’s AVDD, GON1, GON2, and GOFF power-supply inputs. Output Load Connection The MAX17108 EV kit provides resistor/capacitor loads for each output channel to mimic TFT-LCD panel load models for easy evaluation of the EV kit. Install shunts across jumpers JU2–JU11 to connect the RC loads to the MAX17108 scan-driver outputs. Place a scope probe across the shunts installed at jumpers JU2–JU11 and PGND for proper evaluation of the MAX17108 buffers (Y1–Y10), when applying a squarewave signal at the SIGNAL_IN PCB pad. Test points TP1–TP10 can be used to monitor the loaded buffer outputs when applying static DC voltages at the A_ inputs. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3 Evaluates: MAX17108 8) Evaluates: MAX17108 MAX17108 Evaluation Kit Table 2.

Inputs (A_) Logic-Level Selection (JU12–JU21) Jumpers JU12–JU21 configure the MAX17108 EV kit’s A1–A10 inputs to accept either a DC voltage or squarewave input signal. Install a shunt across pins 1-2 of the individual channels to use the square-wave signal applied at the SIGNAL_IN and GND PCB pads to drive the inputs. The square-wave signal should have a +2V to +5.5V logic-high level. Place scope probes across the shunts installed at jumpers JU2–JU11 and PGND for proper evaluation of the MAX17108 scan driver outputs (Y1–Y10), when applying a squarewave signal at the SIGNAL_IN PCB pad. 4 Install a shunt across pins 2-3 of the individual channels to configure the inputs to static logic-low or logichigh DC levels. DIP switch SW1 sets the buffer inputs to a logic-high level using the output of LDO regulator (U2) and potentiometer R56. The LDO regulator output voltage can be adjusted from +2.2V to +5.3V using R56 and can be monitored by probing test point LDO_OUT. Rotate potentiometer R56 clockwise to decrease the LDO output voltage and vice versa. Set DIP switch SW1 to the on position to place a logic-high voltage at the inputs. Set switch SW1 to the off position to place a logic-low voltage at the inputs.
