MAX1817 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX1817 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount circuit board that demon-
strates the MAX1817 dual-output, step-up DC-DC con-
verter. The main output is configured for +3.3V and pro-
vides up to 125mA of current. The LCD bias output is
configured for +18.0V and provides up to 10mA. The
EV kit can support the dual output with a +1.5V to
+3.3V input voltage range.

Note:
Please indicate that you are using the MAX1817 when
contacting these component suppliers.
Quick Start
The MAX1817 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount board. Follow the steps below for board
operation.
Do not turn on the power supply until all
connections are completed.
1) Verify that shunts are across pins 1 and 2 of
jumpers JU1 and JU2 to enable the main output
and the LCD output, respectively.
2) Connect a voltmeter across the VOM pad and the
nearest GND pad to monitor the main output voltage.
3) Connect a voltmeter across the VOLCD pad and
the nearest GND pad to monitor the LCD output
voltage.
4) Connect a +1.5V to +3.3V supply to the VBATT
pad. Connect the ground to the GND pad.
5) Turn on the power supply and verify that the main
output VOM is at +3.3V and the VOLCD output is at
+18.0V.

Detailed Description
The MAX1817 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount circuit containing a dual-output, step-up
DC-DC converter. The main output (VOM) is configured
to supply 125mA (typ) at +3.3V, and the LCD bias out-
put (VOLCD) is configured to supply 10mA (typ) at
+18.0V. The circuit requires a power supply with a
+1.5V to +3.3V input voltage range. VOM and VOLCD
output voltages are adjustable with external resistors.
the PCB short (located at R4) and installing resistors R3
and R4. Refer to the
Setting the Main Output Voltage
section of the MAX1817 data sheet for instructions on
selecting R3 and R4.
The +18.0V LCD bias output voltage is set with voltage-
divider resistors R1 and R2. These resistors divide the
output voltage to the +1.25V LCD feedback regulation
threshold at FBLCD. The output can be adjusted to a
maximum of +28.0V by replacing resistors R1 and R2.
Refer to the
Setting the LCD Output Voltage
section of
the MAX1817 data sheet for instructions on selecting
R1 and R2.
Input Source
The MAX1817 EV kit requires a +1.5V to +3.3V voltage
input to maintain the main output voltage at +3.3V and
the LCD bias output voltage at +18.0V. However, if the
input voltage is raised to the +5.5V maximum input, the
VOM output voltage will increase to equal the input
voltage minus the diode (D2) voltage drop. At the
+5.5V maximum input voltage, the VOLCD output volt-
age will remain steady at +18.0V.
Enable/Disable
The EV kit contains two 3-pin jumpers (JU1 and JU2)
that allow the user to enable and disable the main out-
put (VOM) or the LCD output (VOLCD). Refer to Table 1
for jumper configuration. Note that the main output volt-
age must be at least +2.5V to enable the LCD output.
Adjustable Outputs
The VOM output voltage is set to +3.3V by a PCB short
from FB to ground. The output voltage can be adjusted
to a different voltage (+2.5V to +5.5V) by cutting open
