MAXM17504 5V Output Evaluation Kit General Description The MAXM17504 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a demonstration circuit of the MAXM17504 high-voltage, high-efficiency, current-mode scheme, synchronous step-down DC-DC switching power module. The MAXM17504 EV kit is designed for 5V output and delivers up to 3.5A load current from a wide input voltage range of 11V to 60V. The EV kit switches at an optimal 500kHz switching frequency to allow the use of small component sizes that help minimize solution size while maintaining high performance. The EV kit provides a precisionenable input, an open-drain RESET output signal, and external frequency synchronization to provide a simple and reliable startup sequence and eliminate beat frequency between regulators. The EV kit also includes optional component footprints to program different output voltages, an adjustable input undervoltage-lockout, and a soft-start time to control inrush current during startup. The MAXM17504 data sheet provides a complete description of the part that should be read in conjunction with this evaluation kit data sheet prior to modifying the demo circuit.

Soft-Start Input (SS) The device utilizes an adjustable soft-start function to limit inrush current during startup. The soft-start time is programmed by the value of C1, the external capacitor from SS to GND. The selected output capacitance (CSEL) and the output voltage (VOUT) determine the minimum value of C1, as shown by the following equation: C1 ≥ 28 × 10 −3 × C SEL × VOUT The MAXM17504 EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Please follow the steps below to verify board operation. Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed. where C1 is in nF and CSEL is in µF. 1) Set the power supply at a voltage between 11V and 60V. Disable the power supply. t SS = C1/ 5.55 The soft-start time (tSS) is calculated by the equation below: 2) Connect the positive and negative terminals of the power supply to IN and PGND PCB pads, respectively. where tSS is in ms and C1 is in nF. 3) Connect the positive and negative terminals of the 3.5A load to OUT and PGND2 PCB pads, respectively, and set the load to 0A. The EV kit offers an adjustable input undervoltage-lockout level by resistor-dividers connecting between the IN, EN/ UVLO, and GND pins. For normal operation, a shunt should not be installed across pins 1-2 on JU1 to enable the output through an internal pullup 3.3MΩ resistor from EN/UVLO pin to IN pin. To disable the output, install the shunt across pins 1-2 on JU1 to pull the EN/UVLO pin to GND. See Table 1 for JU1 setting details. The EV kit also provides an optional R3 PCB footprint to program a UVLO threshold voltage at which an input voltage level device turns on. The R3 resistor can be calculated by the following equation: 4) Connect the DVM across the OUT PCB pad and the PGND2 PCB pad. 5) Verify that no shunts are installed across pins 1-2 on jumper JU1 to enable UVLO (see Table 1 for details). 6) Verify that a shunt is installed across JU3 to disable the external synchronization (see Table 3 for details). 7) Verify that a shunt is installed across JU2 to enable PWM mode (see Table 2 for details). Programmable Undervoltage-Lockout (UVLO) 8) Enable the input power supply. R3 = 9) Verify the DVM display 5V. 10) Increase the load up to 3.5A to verify the DVM continue displaying 5V. Detailed Description of Hardware The MAXM17504 EV kit is a proven circuit to demonstrate the high-voltage, high-efficiency, and compact solution size of the synchronous step-down DC-DC power module. The output voltage is preset to 5V to operate from 11V to 60V and provides up to 3.5A load current. The optimal frequency is set at 500kHz to maximize efficiency and minimize component size. The EV kit includes jumper JU1 to enable/disable UVLO of the device, JU2 to configure in PWM, PFM, or DCM mode in advance of light-load efficiency, and JU3 to enable/disable external clock synchronize (SYNC). The RESET PCB pad is www.maximintegrated.com 4009.5 (VINU − 1.215) where VINU is the input voltage at which the device is required to turn on, and R3 unit is in kΩ. Table 1.

The logic state of the MODE pin is latched when the VCC and EN/UVLO voltage exceed the respective UVLO rising thresholds and all internal voltages are ready to allow LX switching. The changes on the MODE pin are ignored during normal operation. Refer to the MAXM17504 data sheet for more information on the PWM, PFM, and DCM modes of operation. Table 2 shows EV kit jumper settings that can be used to configure the desired mode of operation. amplitude should be greater than 50ns and 2.1V, respectively. The minimum external clock low-pulse width should be greater than 160ns, and the maximum external clock low-pulse amplitude should be less than 0.8V. Table 3 describes the connection of the SYNC pin. Setting VOUT with a Resistive Voltage Divider at FB External Clock Synchronization (SYNC) The internal oscillator of the device can be synchronized to an external clock signal to eliminate beat frequency between regulators through the SYNC pin. The external synchronization clock frequency must be between 1.1fSW to 1.4fSW, where fSW is the frequency of operation set by R5. The minimum external clock high-pulse width and The MAXM17504 EV kit is preset for 5V and offers an adjustable output voltage range from as low as 0.9V up to 12V at 3.5A maximum load. The adjustable output voltage can be programmed by the set of resistor dividers R1 and R2. Refer to Table 1 (Selection Component Values) in the MAXM17504 data sheet to select optimal component values for each specific input voltage range from 4.5V up to 60V and an output voltage from 0.9V up to 12V. To obtain an output voltage other than the default setting outputs in Table 1, only seven component (R1, R2, C1, C2, C3, C4, and C8) values are needed to modify the equation described in the Setting the Output Voltage section of the MAXM17504 data sheet.
