MAX8663 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX8663 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that evaluates the MAX8663
power-management IC. The MAX8663 integrates two
synchronous step-down regulators, four low-dropout
linear regulators (LDOs), and a linear charger for a sin-
gle-cell Li-ion (Li+)/Li-polymer battery. Maxim’s Smart
Power Selector™ (SPS) safely distributes power
between an external power source (AC adapter, auto
adapter, or USB source), battery, and the system load.

Recommended Equipment
• Variable 9V power supply
• One-cell Li+/Li-polymer battery
• 2 voltmeters
• 1 ammeter
• Load resistors or electronic loads capable of 1.2A
8) Verify that JU5 and JU6 shunts are installed to set
the
POK
LED (D1) and the
CHG
LED (D2) on.
9) Place the JU19 shunt across pins 1-2.
10) Preset the power supply to 5V. Turn the power sup-
ply off.
Caution: Do not turn on the power supply
until all connections are completed.
11) Make connections to the EV kit as shown in Figure
1, except do not connect the battery until step 16.
12) Turn on the 5V power supply.
13) Verify that the
POK
LED (D1) turns on to indicate
power-ok.
14) Verify that the voltage across the OUT1 and PGND1
pads is 3.3V.
15) Verify that the voltage across the OUT2 and PGND2
pads is 1.3V.
16) Verify that OUT4, OUT5, OUT6, and OUT7 are at

Quick Start
Procedures
The MAX8663 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount board. Follow the steps below to verify
board operation:
1) Enable outputs OUT1, OUT2, OUT4, OUT5, OUT6,
and OUT7 by placing shunts across pins 1-2 of JU7,
JU8, JU10, JU11, JU12, and JU13. See Table 1.
Table 2 shows default EV kit output voltages and
maximum currents.
2) Set the OUT4, OUT5, OUT6, and OUT7 output volt-
ages by setting shunts JU17 and JU18 as shown in
Table 3. Note that the JU17 and JU18 jumper set-
tings are read only on power-up. Changes to these
jumpers after power-up are ignored.
3) Place the JU9 shunt across pins 2-3 to allow OUT1
and OUT2 to enter skip mode at light loads.
4) Place the JU14 and JU15 shunts across pins 2-3
and 1-2 to set a 500mA USB input current limit.
5) Place the JU16 shunt across pins 2-3 to enable the
battery charger.
6) Verify that the JU2.1 shunt is installed to set the
charge current limit to 0.972A.
7) Verify that the JU3.4 shunt is installed to set the 5h
fast-charge fault timer limit.

Detailed Description
Smart Power Selector (SPS)
SPS seamlessly distributes power between the external
input, the battery, and the system load. The basic func-
tions of SPS are:
• With both the external power supply and battery
connected:
a) When the system load requirements exceed the
capacity of the external power input, the battery
supplies supplemental current to the load.
b) When the system load requirements are less
than the capacity of the external power input, the
battery is charged with residual power from the
input.
• When the battery is connected and there is no external
power input, the system is powered from the battery.
• When an external power input is connected and
there is no battery, the system is powered from the
external power input.
DC Input Current-Limit Selection
(PEN1/PEN2)
The input current limit can be set to a variety of values
as shown in Table 4. When the PEN1 input is low, a
USB source is expected at DC and the current limit is
set to either 95mA or 475mA by PEN2. When PEN1 is
high, an AC adapter is expected at DC and the current
limit is set by a programming resistor at PSET. The DC
input current limit is calculated from:
I
DC_LIM
= 2000 x (1.5V / R
PSET
)
An exception is when the battery charger is disabled
(CEN high) with PEN2 low, where the MAX8663 enters
USB suspend mode.
Power-OK Output (
POK
)
The
POK
LED (D1) is a visual indicator of power-OK
status. When the voltage at DC is between the under-
voltage and the overvoltage thresholds, and is greater
than the BAT voltage,
POK
pulls low to indicate that
input power is OK. Otherwise,
POK
is high impedance.
POK
is not affected by PEN1, PEN2, or
CEN
and also
remains active in thermal overload.

MAX8663 Evaluation Kit
Battery Charger
With a valid AC adapter/USB voltage present, the battery
charger initiates a charge cycle when the charger is
enabled. If the battery voltage is less than the BAT pre-
qualification threshold (3V), the charger enters prequalifi-
cation mode, in which the battery charges at 10% of the
maximum set fast-charge current. This slow charge
ensures that the battery is not damaged by fast-charge
current while deeply discharged. Once the battery volt-
age rises to 3.0V, the charger transitions to fast-charge
mode and applies the maximum charge current. As
charging continues, the battery voltage rises until it
reaches the battery regulation voltage (4.2V) where
charge current starts tapering down. When charge cur-
rent decreases to 7.5% of fast-charge current, the charg-
er enters top-off mode. Top-off charging continues for
30min, then all charging stops. If the battery voltage sub-
sequently drops below the 4.1V recharge threshold,
charging restarts and the timers reset.
The charger can be enabled or disabled with
jumper
CEN.
at a 1Hz rate to indicate the fault. Charging can be
resumed by either toggling
CEN
or cycling the DC input
voltage.

Charge Current
ISET adjusts the MAX8663 charging current to match
the capacity of the battery. A resistor from ISET to
ground (R10, R11, R12, R13, or R14) sets the maximum
fast-charge current, the charge current in prequal, and
the charge-current threshold below which the battery is
considered completely charged. Calculate these
thresholds as follows:

Charge Status Output (CHG)
The
CHG
LED (D2) indicates charge status. The LED is
on (CHG low) when the charger is in the prequalifica-
tion or fast-charge mode. It is off (CHG high imped-
ance) when the charger is disabled in top-off mode or
in done mode.
The charger enters fault status when the charge timer
expires before the charging completes. In this state, the
CHG
LED pulses at 1Hz to indicate that a fault
occurred.
Battery Charger Thermistor Input (THM)
Battery or ambient temperature can be monitored with
a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor
connected from the THM pad to GND. Charging is then
allowed when the thermistor temperature is within the
allowable range. The charger enters a temperature sus-
pend state when the thermistor resistance falls below
3.97kΩ (too hot, over +50°C) or rises above 28.7kΩ
5
Charge Timer
The MAX8663 features a fault timer for safe charging. If
prequalification charging or fast charging does not
complete within the time limits programmed by the
timer capacitor at CT (C12, C20, C21, C22, or C23), the
charger stops charging and the
CHG
LED (D2) blinks
