MAX1999 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX1999 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the
MAX1999’s standard application circuit. This DC-DC con-
verter steps down high-voltage batteries and/or AC
adapters, generating system supplies for notebook com-
puters. The MAX1999 EV kit provides dual 5V and 3.3V
output voltages from a 7V to 24V battery input range. It
delivers up to 5A output current for the 5V output and 5A
for the 3.3V output with greater than 90% efficiency. The
EV kit operates at 200kHz/300kHz switching frequency
(5V/3.3V, respectively) and has superior line-and-load-
transient response.
This EV kit is a fully assembled and tested circuit board. It
allows the evaluation of other output voltages in the 2V to
5.5V range by changing feedback resistors R1–R4.
This EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX1777
(200kHz/5.0V SMPS and 300kHz/3.3V SMPS) and the
MAX1977 (400kHz/5.0V SMPS and 500kHz/3.3V SMPS).

Recommended Equipment
•
•
•
•
7V to 24V power supply, battery, or notebook AC
adapter
Dummy loads capable of sinking 5A
Digital multimeters (DMMs)
100MHz dual-trace oscilloscope
2) Verify that the shunts are across JU1 pins 1 and 2,
JU2 pins 1 and 2, JU3 pins 1 and 4, and JU5 pins 1
and 4.
3) Turn on the power supply.
4) Verify that the output voltages are 3.3V and 5V.
Evaluating Other Output Voltages
Quick Start
1) Ensure that the circuit is connected correctly to the
supplies and dummy load before applying any
power.
The EV kit outputs are preset to 3.3V and 5V. However,
the output voltages can also be adjusted between 2V
and 5.5V by selecting R1/R2 and R3/R4 values. Select
feedback resistors R2 and R4.
R1 and R3 are then given by:
R1 (or R3) = R2 (or R4) x [(V
OUT
/V
FB
) - 1]
where V
FB
= 2V.

Figure 1. MAX1999 EV Kit Schematic
Evaluating the MAX1777/MAX1977
This EV kit also can be used to evaluate the MAX1777/
MAX1977. The MAX1777 operates at 200kHz/300kHz
switching frequency and the MAX1977 operates at
400kHz/500kHz switching frequency (5V/3.3V). The
MAX1777 and the MAX1977 use accurate current-
sense resistors, R15 and R16:
1) Remove the MAX1999 and install a MAX1777 or
MAX1977.
2) Cut open the traces shorting sense resistors R15
and R16.
3) Install sense resistors R15 and R16.
4) Short resistor R10 (leave JU6 open).

OPERATING MODE
Low-noise mode, forced fixed-frequency PWM operation.
Normal operation, allows automatic PWM/PFM switchover for
pulse-skipping at light load, resulting in highest efficiency.
Ultrasonic pulse-skipping mode (20kHz min). Install C13,
C14 (470pF) for MAX1999 ultrasonic mode operation to
ensure proper negative ultrasonic current sensing
(V

Important:
Do not change the operating frequency without first recalculating component values. The switching frequency has a sig-
nificant effect on the peak current-limit level, MOSFET heating, preferred inductor value, PFM/PWM switchover point, output noise,
efficiency, and other critical parameters.
