Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
Before you begin, you need the following equipment:
• A DC power supply capable of supplying a voltage
between +8V to +24V at 5A to power the MAX8751
board
• Four CCFL lamps with the following specifications:
a) Maximum RMS strike voltage ≤ 1.6kV
b) RMS lamp current ≤ 6mA
c) Input power ≤ 4W
WARNING! High voltages are present on this evaluation kit. Use caution when making connections and
applying power.
Do not turn on the power until all connections are
complete.

MAX8751 Evaluation Kit
Slave Mode Operation
Place a shunt on JU2 to enable slave mode operation
when using a daisy-chain configuration. See the DaisyChain Configuration section for more details. See Table
2 for jumper settings.
Detailed Description
Brightness
The brightness of the lamp is adjustable using potentiometer R10.
Brightness Control Select Input
Jumper JU1 connects the brightness control select
input (the SEL pin) to either VCC or GND. Connecting
SEL to VCC (JU1 = 1-2) enables brightness control
using an external sync signal. Connecting SEL to GND
(JU1 = 2-3) enables analog control where the brightness is adjusted with an analog voltage on the CNTL
pin. See Table 2 for jumper settings.
Shutdown
A shunt installed on JU3 2-3 places the MAX8751 in
shutdown mode. See Table 2 for jumper settings.
Phase Shift (PS1 and PS2)
Jumpers JU4 and JU5 set the phase shift for daisy
chaining up to five MAX8751s. See Table 1 for the
phase shift settings.
HSYNC
Main switching frequency sync input. The switching frequency synchronizes to an external signal applied to
HSYNC. Refer to the MAX8751 IC data sheet for more
information. Place a shunt on JU6 to disable the
HSYNC feature. See Table 2 for jumper settings.

LSYNC
Daisy-Chain Configuration
DPWM sync input. The DPWM frequency synchronizes
to an external signal applied to LSYNC. Refer to the
MAX8751 IC data sheet for more information. Place a
shunt on JU7 to disable the LSYNC feature. See Table
2 for jumper settings.
Up to five MAX8751 EV kits can be daisy-chained
together. Connect J1 of slave 1 to J2 of the master. See
Tables 3 and 4 for daisy-chain connection and jumper
configuration.
