MAX5072 Evaluation Kit
The MAX5072 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains all the components
necessary to evaluate the performance of the MAX5072.
The MAX5072 is a dual-output DC-DC converter. One of
the outputs is configured as a step-down converter (converter 1), while converter 2 is configured as a step-up
converter. The EV kit is powered from a DC supply providing 5.5V to 16V. The EV kit can be reconfigured for an
input voltage range between 4.5V to 5.5V.
The MAX5072 EV kit is capable of delivering 3.3V at 2A
from the step-down converter output and 12V at up to
0.22A from the step-up converter output. The MAX5072
switching frequency is set to 2.2MHz and the two outputs switch 180° out of phase. A SYNC input facilitates
external frequency synchronization. Moreover, a
CLKOUT output provides a clock signal that is 90° out
of phase with respect to the step-up converter, allowing
four-phase operation using two MAX5072 ICs in master-slave configuration.
The MAX5072 includes a power-good output for converter 1, a reset output, and a manual reset input. In
addition, each output, can be shut down individually.
The MAX5072 features a power-fail output, which provides a logic-low when the input voltage drops below a
preprogrammed threshold.
The MAX5072 is available in a thermally enhanced
32-pin thin QFN package.

MAX5072 Evaluation Kit
Recommended Equipment
• Adjustable 5.5V to 16V, 3A DC power supply
• Two electronic loads (e.g., HP6060B)
• Two voltmeters
Procedure
The MAX5072 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow these steps to verify board operation. Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
1) Connect a voltmeter to the VOUT1 and PGND pads.
2) Verify that the jumpers JU3, JU4, and JU5 do not
have a shunt installed.
Converter 2 (VOUT2) is configured as a step-up converter.
Converter 1’s output provides power to the converter 2
input. VOUT2 generates 12V and can provide up to
0.22A of current. Capacitors C10, C11, and C12 and
resistors R6 and R7 provide a compensation network for
VOUT2 on the MAX5072 EV kit.
The switching frequency for each converter is set to
2.2MHz by resistor R5. The internal oscillator switching
frequency of the MAX5072 is two times the individual converter switching frequency. To set the individual converter
switching frequency between 200kHz and 2.2MHz, select
a different resistor value for R5. Refer to the Internal
Oscillator section in the MAX5072 IC data sheet for
instructions on calculating R5. Each converter is switching
180° out of phase with respect to the other converter.
3) Connect a voltmeter to the VOUT2 and PGND pads.
Enable (EN1 and EN2)
4) Connect a 2A electronic load to the VOUT1 and
PGND pads.
The MAX5072 EV kit provides separate enable inputs,
EN1 and EN2, to individually control or sequence the
output voltages. The enable signals EN1 and EN2 are
pulled up to VL (5V) by resistors R14 and R15, respectively. The external enable input signal can be connected to pin 1 of header JU4 (JU4-1, EN1), and converter
2’s enable input signal can be connected to pin 1 of
header JU5 (JU5-1, EN2). The MAX5072 enable pins
are active-high and TTL compatible.
5) Connect a 0.22A electronic load to the VOUT2 and
PGND pads.
6) Connect a 5.5V to 16V DC power supply to the VIN
and PGND pads, set the voltage in the range of
5.5V to 16V.
7) Turn on the power supply.
8) Verify that VOUT1 is 3.3V throughout the 5.5V to
16V input voltage range.
9) Verify that VOUT2 is 12V throughout the 5.5V to 16V
input voltage range.
10) Turn on both electronic loads. Repeat steps 7 and 8.
Detailed Description
The MAX5072 EV kit contains two switching DC-DC
converters. Each converter can be configured as either
a step-down or a step-up converter. The MAX5072’s
individual converter switching frequency can be set
within the 200kHz to 2.2MHz range. The EV kit is
designed to operate from a DC power supply that can
provide 5.5V to 16V and 3A of current. The EV kit can
be reconfigured for a 4.5V to 5.5V input voltage range
by shorting jumper JU2.
Converter 1 (VOUT1) is configured as a step-down converter. VOUT1 generates 3.3V and can provide up to
2A of current. Capacitors C5, C6, and C7 and resistors
R3 and R4 provide a compensation network for VOUT1
on the MAX5072 EV kit.
Manual Reset Button (SW1)
The MAX5072 EV kit provides a manual reset pushbutton switch (SW1) that is connected to the MR pin of the
MAX5072. Push and release the manual reset pushbutton switch to initiate a reset of the circuit.
Reset Output Signal (RST)
The MAX5072 EV kit provides a reset output signal on
pin 1 of header J1 (J1-1). The reset pin is pulled up to
VOUT1 by a 10kΩ resistor (R13). The MAX5072 RST
pin output is pulled low when either VOUT1 or VOUT2
falls below 92.5% of their nominal regulation voltage.
Once both outputs exceed 92.5% of their nominal regulated voltages, the RST output goes high after the
active-reset timeout period (180ms).
Power-Good Output (PGOOD1)
Converter 1 provides a power-good output signal. The
PGOOD1 is pulled up to VOUT1 by a 10kΩ resistor
R12. When VOUT1 drops below 92.5% of its nominal
regulated voltage, PGOOD1 is pulled low. The
PGOOD1 output signal is available on pin 5 of header
J1 (J1-5).

Power-Fail Output (PFO)
Jumper Selection
The MAX5072 EV kit features a power-fail output (PFO)
on pin 4 of header J1 (J1-4) to provide an advance signal before the outputs drop out of regulation. PFO is
pulled up to VL (5V) by a 10kΩ resistor (R17). The PFO
output is pulled low when the input voltage VIN drops
below 9.6V. The threshold voltage is set by resistors
R10 and R11. To set a different threshold voltage for
the PFO, select different values for resistors R10 and
R11. Refer to the Dying Gasp Comparator section in
the MAX5072 IC data sheet for selecting the values for
R10 and R11.
Input Source for Converter 2 (JU1)
The MAX5072 EV kit features an option to select the
input source for converter 2. Jumper JU1 selects the
input source for converter 2 on the MAX5072 EV kit.
Table 1 lists the selectable JU1 jumper options.
Note that jumper JU1 is not installed and is shorted
between pin holes 1 and 2 by a PC board trace. To utilize jumper JU1, cut open the PC board trace between
pin holes 1 and 2, and install a shorting wire between
pin holes 2 and 3.
Synchronization Input (SYNC)
The MAX5072 EV kit provides a synchronization
(SYNC) input that enables the MAX5072 to synchronize
with external systems. The synchronization frequency is
two times the individual converter switching frequency.
To synchronize the MAX5072 EV kit with an external
clock, connect a 4.4MHz TTL clock signal to pin 3 of
header J1 (J1-3).
Clock Output (CLKOUT)
The MAX5072 EV kit provides a clock output (CLKOUT)
that enables two MAX5072 EV kits to be connected in a
master-slave configuration operating in four-phase
mode. The CLKOUT is 90° phase-shifted with respect
to the internal switch turn-on edge. The CLKOUT is two
times the individual converter switching frequency.
Feed the CLKOUT output signal of the master EV kit to
the SYNC input of the slave EV kit. The effective input
ripple switching frequency will be four times the individual converter’s switching frequency. The CLKOUT output is available on pin 6 of header J1 (J1-6).

high, converter 1’s switching frequency is the same as
converter 2’s switching frequency. To reduce converter
1’s switching frequency to one-half of converter 2 install
a shunt on jumper JU3.
