MAX17120 Evaluation Kit
The MAX17120 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled
and tested circuit board that contains all the components
necessary to evaluate the MAX17120 IC. The MAX17120
is a triple, high-voltage, level-shifting scan driver to drive
the TFT panel gate logic. The driver outputs swing from
-30V to +40V. To save power, three sets of complementary outputs are provided to allow charge sharing during
state changes. The EV kit operates from a DC supply
range from +2.2V to +3.6V and consumes 500FA (typ).

Quick Start
Required Equipment
•
+3.3V, 100mA DC power supply (VDD)
•
+35V, 100mA DC power supply (VON)
•
-25V, 100mA DC power supply (VOFF)
•

Procedure
The MAX17120 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) Connect the +3.3V DC power supply to the VDD and
AGND PCB pads.
2) Connect the +35V DC power supply to the VON and
AGND PCB pads.
3) Connect the -25V DC power supply to the VOFF and
AGND PCB pads.
4) Turn on the power supply.
5) Note that the logic inputs (STV, CPV1, CPV2, and
CPV3) must be set to AGND or VDD.
6) Verify the STVP logic at the respective test points:

Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX17120 EV kit contains all the components necessary to evaluate the MAX17120 IC. The MAX17120 is a
triple, high-voltage, level-shifting scan driver to drive TFT

The MAX17120 EV kit provides PCB pads to connect the
logic inputs and scan-driver outputs. Test points are also
provided to monitor the charge sharing, EN, and DISH
states. Jumper JU1 is provided to enable/disable the
MAX17120 device (see Table 1).
