________________General Description
The MAX685 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides dual-output
+15V and -7.5V voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V input volt-
age. Each output regulates separately, and each can
deliver 10mA output current. Both output voltages can
be adjusted by changing the feedback resistor values.
The MAX685 EV kit provides low quiescent current and
high efficiency for maximum battery life. The EV kit
operates at a fixed 200kHz or 400kHz frequency, which
allows the use of a tiny surface-mount inductor. This EV
kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit
board.

_________________________Quick Start
The MAX685 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow these steps to verify board operation.
Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
1) Connect a +2.7V to +5.5V power supply to the VIN
pad. Connect ground to the GND pad.
2) Connect voltmeters and loads, if any, to the +VOUT
and VOUT- pads.
3) Verify that the shunts are on JU1, JU2, and JU3
across pins 2 and 3.
4) Turn on the power supply and verify the positive
output voltage is +15V and the negative output is
-7.5V.
5) For other output voltages, refer to the
Setting the
Output Voltage
section in the MAX685 data sheet
for instructions on selecting the feedback resistors.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX685 EV kit provides dual-output +15V and
-7.5V voltages from 2.7V to 5.5V input voltage. Each
output regulates separately and each can deliver 10mA
output current. Both output voltages can be adjusted
by changing the feedback-resistor values.
The EV kit minimizes total circuit size and cost by using
a single inductor for both output voltages. It operates at
a fixed 200kHz or 400kHz frequency and includes a
shutdown function and a power-OK output.

__________________Jumper Selection
The MAX685 EV kit features a shutdown mode that
reduces quiescent current to 0.1µA typical to preserve
battery life. The 3-pin header JU1 selects the shutdown
mode. Table 1 lists the selectable jumper options.
The 3-pin header JU2 selects the switching frequency.
Table 2 lists the selectable jumper options. The 3-pin
header JU3 selects the power sequence. Table 3 lists
the selectable jumper options.
