MAX17122 Evaluation Kit
The MAX17122 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount PCB that provides the voltages
and features required for thin-film transistor (TFT), liquidcrystal display (LCD) TV panels. The EV kit includes a
step-down regulator, step-up regulator, negative output
buck-boost regulator, positive regulated charge pump,
and a negative linear regulator.
The MAX17122 IC operates from +10V to +14V input
voltages and is optimized for LCD TV panels running
directly from +12V supplies. The step-up switching
regulator is configured for a +15V output that provides at
least 2.2A with an input voltage of +12V. The step-down
regulator is configured for a +3.3V output that provides
at least 2.5A and the buck-boost is configured for a
temperature-variable -12V to -20V output that provides
at least 450mA. The positive regulated charge pump is
configured for a +28V output providing at least 100mA.
The negative linear regulator is configured for a -7.5V
output providing at least 100mA.

Procedure
The MAX17122 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 not installed across jumpers
JU1, JU2, and JU3.
2) Verify that a shunt is installed across jumper JU4.
3) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply
to the VIN pad. Connect the negative terminal of the
power supply to the PGND pads closest to VIN.
4) Set the power supply VIN to +12V.
5) Turn on the power supply and verify that the step-up
switching regulator output (AVDD) is +15V.
6) Verify that the step-down switching regulator (3.3V) is
+3.3V.
7) Verify that the buck-boost regulator (VGOFF2) is
approximately -12V.
8) Verify that the positive charge-pump linear-regulator
supply (VGON) is approximately +28V.
9) Verify that the negative charge-pump supply
(VGOFF1) is approximately -7.5V.
Detailed Description of Hardware
Jumper Settings
Several jumper settings in the following tables illustrate
features of the MAX17122 EV kit.
Enable Inputs (EN1, EN2)
The MAX17122’s enable inputs can be configured
through jumpers JU1 and JU2. JU1 controls the EN1
pin, which enables the step-down regulator and gates
the EN2 function as well. JU2 controls pin EN2, which
enables the step-up and positive charge-pump linear
regulator when EN1 is high. When EN1 is low, all power
outputs are disabled. When EN_ is high, the respective
outputs are enabled. When EN_ is low, the respective
outputs are disabled. See Table 1 for jumpers JU1 and
JU2 configurations.

MAX17122 Evaluation Kit
High-Voltage Stress Mode Input (JU3)
The MAX17122’s high-voltage stress (HVS) mode is
controlled through jumper JU3. When jumper JU3 is
installed, HVS is connected to VL and the RHVS output
is connected to AGND. When jumper JU3 is not installed,
the HVS pin is left unconnected and the RHVS output is
unconnected. See Table 2 for jumper JU3 configuration.
Thermistor Network Connection (JU4)
The 100FA current from the SET pin, together with
resistor R23 at SET determines the cold-temperature
output voltage. The network at the NTC pin controls the
transition between the warm-temperature output voltage (determined by FB3 resistors R5 and R6) and the
cold-temperature output voltage. As configured, the
warm-temperature output voltage is -12V, slowly transitioning at approximately +25NC to the cold-temperature
output voltage level of -20V. Refer to the MAX17122 IC
data sheet for more information regarding temperature
compensation.
Jumper JU4 controls the thermistor network connected
to the NTC pin. When JU4 is installed, thermistor R8
is connected to NTC and the behavior of the GOFF2
output voltage varies with temperature. When JU4 is not
installed, NTC is connected to AGND through resistors
R7 and R9 and GOFF2 output voltage is fixed. See Table
3 for jumper JU4 configuration.
Step-Up Regulator Output-Voltage
Selection (AVDD)
The EV kit’s step-up switching-regulator output (AVDD)
is set to +15V by feedback resistors R1 and R2. To generate output voltages other than +15V, select different
external voltage-divider resistors (R1 and R2). Refer to
the Step-Up Regulator, Output Voltage Selection section
in the MAX17122 IC data sheet for more information.
Step-Down Regulator Output-Voltage
Selection (+3.3V)
The EV kit’s step-down switching regulator supports both
fixed and adjustable output voltages. By default, the EV
kit’s step-down regulator’s output (3.3V) is set to the
+3.3V fixed mode by connecting FB2 to GND through
resistor R20. For adjustable mode (+1.5V to +3.6V),
select R21 and R20 to set the desired step-down regulator output voltage. Refer to the Detailed Description,
Step-Down Regulator section in the MAX17122 IC data
sheet for instructions on selecting resistors R20 and R21.
Buck-Boost Regulator Output-Voltage
Selection (VGOFF2)
The output voltage of the step-up regulator is temperature compensated. From the warm-temperature range
((3.3V - VNTC) > 1.65V), the output voltage is set by
connecting a resistive voltage-divider from the output
(VGOFF2) to the +3.3V reference, with the center tap
connected to FB3. Select R6 in the 10kI to 50kI range.
Calculate R5 with the following equation:
V
− VFB3
R5 = R6 × GOFF2_ WARM
VFB3 − 3.3V
where VFB3, the step-up regulator’s feedback set point,
is +1.65V. Place R5 and R6 close to the IC.
For cold temperatures ((3.3V - VNTC) < VSET), output
voltage is set by:
VSET =
R6 × VGOFF2_ COLD + R5 × 3.3V
R5 + R6
If the calculated VSET voltage is larger than +1.65V,
then temperature compensation is disabled and the
buck-boost regulator output will be VGOFF2_WARM at all
temperatures.
Calculate the SET pin resister RSET (R23) as follows:

RSET = SET

The negative linear-regulator output (VGOFF1) is set to
-7.5V by voltage-divider resistors R13 and R14. To set
VGOFF1 to other voltages, adjust the negative linearregulator output voltage (VGOFF1) by connecting a
resistive voltage-divider from VGOFF1 to +3.3V with the
center tap connected to FBN. Select R13 in the 20kI to
50kI range. Calculate R14 with the following equation:
V
−V
R14 = R13 × GOFF1 FBN
VFBN − 3.3V
where VFBN = +1V. Refer to the Negative Linear
Regulator, Output-Voltage Selection section in the
MAX17122 IC data sheet for instructions on selecting
R13 and R14.
Positive Charge-Pump Output-Voltage
Selection (VGON)
The positive charge-pump output (VGON) is set to +28V
by voltage-divider resistors R11 and R12. To set VGON
to other voltages, adjust the charge-pump regulator’s
output voltage by connecting a resistive voltage-divider
from the VGON output to AGND, with the center tap connected to FBP. Select the lower resistor of the divider
R12 in the range of 10kI to 30kI. Calculate the upper
resistor R11 with the following equation:
V
R11 = R12 × GON − 1
V
FBP
where VFBP = +1.25V (typ). Refer to the Positive ChargePump Linear Regulator section in the MAX17122 IC data
sheet for instructions on selecting R11 and R12.
