General Description
The MAX17062 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested surface-mount PCB that provides the
voltages required for active-matrix, thin-film transistor
(TFT), liquid-crystal displays (LCDs). The EV kit con-
tains a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) step-up switch-
ing regulator, a positive single-stage charge pump for
the TFT gate-on supply, and a negative single-stage
charge pump for the TFT gate-off supply.
The EV kit operates from a DC supply voltage of +4.5V
to +5.5V and is configured to operate with a switching
frequency of 1.2MHz. The step-up switching regulator
is configured for a +15V output and can provide 600mA
with a +4.5V input. The positive charge pump is config-
ured for a +29V output providing 30mA. The negative
charge pump is configured for a -15V output providing
30mA.
The MAX17062 EV kit features low-quiescent current
and high-conversion efficiency (90%). The high switch-
ing frequency allows the use of small, surface-mount
components.

Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• +4.5V to +5.5V, 5A DC power supply (VIN)
• Voltmeter
Procedure
The MAX17062 EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow
these steps to verify board operation. Caution: Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
1) Verify that there is no shunt placed across jumper
JU1 to enable the MAX17062.
2) Connect the positive terminal of the DC power sup-
ply to the VIN pad. Connect the negative terminal of
the DC power supply to the PGND pad.
3) Turn on the +4.5V to +5.5V DC power supply and
verify that the step-up switching regulator output
(VOUT) is +15V.
4) Verify that the gate-on supply (VGON) is approxi-
mately +29V.
5) Verify that the gate-off supply (VGOFF) is approxi-
mately -15V.

Detailed Description
The MAX17062 EV kit contains a high-efficiency, pulse-
width-modulated (PWM), step-up switching regulator, a
positive single-stage unregulated charge pump, and a
negative single-stage unregulated charge pump. The
MAX17062 features a programmable soft-start, loop-
compensation pin, and an internal MOSFET switch.
The EV kit operates from a +4.5V to +5.5V DC power
supply.
As configured, the step-up switching regulator gener-
ates a +15V output (VOUT) and can provide 600mA
with a 4.5V input. The step-up switching regulator out-
put voltage can be adjusted from VIN to +20V by
changing the values of the feedback resistors (see the
Evaluating Other Output Voltages
section).
The VGON supply consists of a single positive charge-
pump stage to generate approximately twice the VOUT
voltage (or approximately +29V) and provide 30mA.
The VGOFF supply consists of a single negative
charge-pump stage to generate approximately -VOUT
(or approximately -15V) and provide 30mA.
The EV kit is configured for a +4.5V input and a 1.2MHz
switching frequency. Operation at a different input
voltage, output voltage (VOUT), or switching fre-
quency may require a different inductor, output
capacitors, and compensation components. Refer to
the MAX17062 IC data sheet for detailed information on
loop compensation and component selection.
Jumper Selection
Shutdown Mode (
SHDN
)
The EV kit features a shutdown mode that reduces the
MAX17062 quiescent current. JU1 selects the shut-
down mode. See Table 1 for jumper JU1 functions.
Switching-Frequency
Selection (FREQ)
The MAX17062 EV kit provides the option to configure
the switching frequency of the step-up DC-DC convert-
er. Table 2 lists jumper JU2 settings for configuring the
switching frequency. The EV kit is configured and
shipped to operate at 1.2MHz. For operation at
640kHz, cut the trace between pins 1 and 2 of jumper
JU2 and short pins 2 and 3. Refer to the MAX17062
data sheet for selecting the proper components.
Evaluating Other
Output Voltages
The MAX17062 EV kit’s step-up switching-regulator
output (VOUT) is set to +15V by feedback resistors R3
and R4. To generate output voltages other than +15V
(VIN to +20V), select different external voltage-divider
resistors, R3 and R4. Select R3 in the 10kΩto 50kΩ
range. R4 is then given by:
where VFB = 1.24V. Note that changing the VOUT volt-
age also changes the VGON and VGOFF charge-pump
output voltages. For significantly different operation
points, the EV kit may require a different inductor and
component changes. Refer to the MAX17062 data
sheet for proper component selection.

Positive Charge-Pump
Configuration
As configured, the single-stage positive charge pump
generates approximately double the VOUT output voltage
at VGON. The charge pump can be reconfigured as a
two-stage positive charge pump, providing triple the
VOUT output voltage at VGON. This is accomplished by
installing capacitors C13, C16, diode D3, and removing
resistor R7. See Table 3 for suggested component values.
