MAX17019 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX17019
General Description
The MAX17019 evaluation kit (EV kit) presents the
MAX17019 high input-voltage quad-output controller in
a typical application setup. The EV kit operates from a
5.5V to 38V input range.
High-voltage controller A is used to generate a 5V rail that
serves as supply for the other three rails. These rails are
generated by two switching converters (rails B and C),
and one push-pull linear regulator (rail D). The supplies
for converters B and C and regulator D are accessible but
must be less than 6V.
The MAX17019 also has an internal fixed 5V linear
regulator capable of supplying 50mA. The EV kit operates
at 0.5MHz (VOUTA and VOUTC) and at 1MHz switching
frequency (VOUTB). The EV kit has superior line- and
load-transient response.

Quick Start
• MAX17019 EV kit
Recommended Equipment
Set SW1 (4, 7) to the on position (ONC = VDD,
VOUTC enabled).
Set SW1 (5, 6) to the on position (OND = VDD,
VOUTD enabled).
3) Connect the first DMM across the VOUTA and GND
pads.
• 5.5V to 38V DC power supply
• Four digital multimeters (DMMs)
• 100MHz dual-trace oscilloscope
The MAX17019 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount board. Follow the steps below to verify
board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on the power
supply until all connections are completed.
1) Ensure that the circuit is connected correctly to the
power supply and dummy loads prior to applying any
power.
2) Set SW1 (1, 10) to the off position (SHDN = VBATT,
MAX17019 disabled).
Set SW1 (2, 9) to the on position (ONA = VDD, VOUTA
enabled).
Set SW1 (3, 8) to the on position (ONB = VDD, VOUTB
enabled).

Procedure
4) Connect the second DMM across the VOUTB and
GND pads.
5) Connect the third DMM across the VOUTC and GND
pads.
6) Connect the fourth DMM across the VOUTD and GND
pads.
7) Turn on the power supply and adjust input voltage to
12V.
8) Set SW1 (1, 10) to the on position (SHDN = VBATT,
MAX17019 activated).
9) All LEDs should be lit; verify that the output voltages
are VOUTA = 5V, VOUTB = 3.3V, VOUTC = 1.2V, and
VOUTD = 2.5V.

Troubleshooting
Output Rails Do Not Come Up
The MAX17019 output rails incorporate undervoltage
shutoff and stay off until the corresponding ON_ switch
is toggled. Make sure the supplies to the rails are high
enough to allow it to regulate. Also check if the current
limit on the power supply is set high enough for the initial
startup current spike.
Current Capability Seems Too Low
The current capability listed in the data sheet is the peak
ripple current. DC current may be 30% lower. If the sup-
ply rails are cascaded, allow for lower external load cur-
rents. Also check the current limit on the power supply.
Load Regulation Seems Low
The control algorithm in the MAX17019 utilizes a load-
line architecture. This architecture improves stability and
step response at the cost of a weaker load response.
It may be necessary to set the output voltage higher to
fulfill accuracy requirements.
The MAX17019 EV kit is shipped with FBC connected to
resistors R9 and R10, which sets the VOUTC voltage to
1.2V.
To change the output voltage to a value between 0.75V
and 4V, remove R9. Calculate R9 using the following
equation:
V
=
R10 x
OUTC
−

R9

FBC
where V
FBC
= 0.75V and R10 =10kI
Q1%.
For an output
voltage of 0.75V, place a short across R9 and leave R10
open.
The MAX17019 EV kit is shipped with FBD connected to
resistors R22 and R23, which sets the VOUTD voltage
to 2.5V. The voltage at FBD tracks the REFIND voltage,
which is pulled up to the 1.25V reference output voltage
VREF through resistor R33.
To change the VOUTD output voltage to a value between
0.5V and V
IND
, remove R22. Calculate R22 using the fol-
lowing equation:
V
=
R23 x

do not violate the thermal limits of the IC (refer to
the MAX17019 IC data sheet).

2.5V Output-Voltage Setting (VOUTD)
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX17019 EV kit is shipped with FBA connected
to resistors R5 and R6, which sets the VOUTA voltage
to 5V.
5V Output-Voltage Setting (VOUTA)
To change the output voltage to a value between 1V
and 5.5V, remove R5. Calculate R5 using the following
equation:

For an output volt-
age of 1V, place a short across R5 and leave R6 open.
The MAX17019 EV kit is shipped with FBB connected
to resistors R7 and R8, which sets the VOUTB voltage
to 3.3V.
3.3V Output-Voltage Setting (VOUTB)
Separate enable inputs and independent open-drain
power-good outputs allow flexible power sequencing.
Switch SW1 is provided to control the ONA–OND enable
inputs and the
SHDN
input. Table 1 summarizes SW1’s
function.
To display which of the outputs are in regulation, power-
good LED indicators D2–D5 are also provided.
Independent Enable Inputs and
Power-Good Outputs
To change the output voltage to a value between 0.75V
and 4V, remove R7. Calculate R7 using the following

VOUTC (only for custom setups
with VOUTC > VOUTD)
The MAX17019 EV kit includes a jumper (JU3) to select
which of the step-down switching regulators (VOUTA–
VOUTC) powers the push-pull linear regulator (VOUTD).
By default, the 2.5V VOUTD output stage is powered
from the IND input when a shunt is installed across
jumper JU1 pins 1-2 or pins 1-3, but not pins 1-4.
A user may want to set up VOUTC to 2.5V and VOUTD
to 1.25V for DDR RAM use. VOUTC can be set for 2.5V
using the equation from the
1.2V Output-Voltage Setting
(VOUTC)
section. For DDR RAM applications, VOUTD
can also track the REFIND voltage to provide a 1.25V
output. Remove R23 and replace R22 with a 0I resistor.
Under these two cases, JU1 may be configured to all
three settings.
Source/Sink Linear-Regulator Input (IND)
Note:
As configured, the MAX17019 EV kit is shipped with all
SW1 settings in the off position.
Frequency Selection (FREQ)
The switching frequency of the MAX17019 kit can be
adjusted by removing resistor R24 and installing a
short across resistors R20 or R21. As configured, the
MAX17019 EV kit operates at 0.5MHz (VOUTA and
VOUTC) and at 1MHz switching frequency (VOUTB).
When changing the switching frequency, refer to the
MAX17019 IC data sheet for the proper component
selections and calculations for the inductors and output
capacitors.
