MAX1698 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX1698 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains a boost switch-
ing-regulator current source and array of white LEDs.
As configured, the circuit is set up to drive 3 banks of 3
series LED arrays at 20mA each; however, a wide vari-
ety of other configurations are possible. The IC can be
powered from a separate +2.7VDC to +5.5VDC input,
while LED power has a wider input range and can be
supplied either from a logic supply or battery source.
The MAX1698 features digital soft-start and adjustable
lossless LED current control. The MAX1698 EV kit
demonstrates low quiescent current, open-circuit pro-
tection, and up to 90% efficiency for maximum battery
life. Operation up to 500kHz allows the use of tiny sur-
face-mount components.

MAX1698 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX1698
Main Output
1) Connect a +2.7V to +5.5V supply to the VCC pad.
Connect the ground to the GND pad.
2) Connect a +0.8V to +7V supply to the VBATT pad.
Connect the ground to the GND pad.
3) Connect a voltmeter to the VOUT pad.
4) Verify that shunt JU1 (SHDN)
is across pins 1 and 2.
5) Rotate the potentiometer (R1) to the midposition.
6) Turn on the power supply, and verify that the output
is approximately 9.0V and the LEDs are moderately
lit.
For instructions on selecting R1, or other means of
adjusting brightness, refer to the
Adjusting LED Current
section in the MAX1698 data sheet.
Changing Maximum LED Current
The maximum LED current is determined by feedback
resistor R2. LED current = 300mV / R2. Resistors R3
and R4 must also match the value of R2 to balance the
current in each LED bank. Refer to the
Setting the
Output Current
section of the MAX1698 data sheet for
more information on selecting other maximum current
settings.
Evaluating Off-Board LEDs
The MAX1698 EV kit can evaluate off-board LEDs.
Current resistors R2, R3, and R4 must be removed from
the EV kit. The EV kit LEDs will no longer function. An
external feedback resistor must be connected between
the FB pad and GND pad. Refer to the
Setting the
Output Current
section of the MAX1698 data sheet for
more information on selecting the maximum current-
setting resistor.
Detailed Description
The MAX1698 EV kit contains a switching-regulator cur-
rent-source circuit. The circuit requires +2.7V to +5.5V
for IC power (VCC); however, the LED power input
(VBATT) can accept a wide input voltage range from
+0.8V up to the forward voltage of the LED array (+7V
for the 3x3 array supplied on the EV kit). The board can
drive up to +24V for the LED output, as limited by the
open-circuit protection zener (D2).
Output current is adjusted with R1 to control LED
brightness. The boost converter operates up to a maxi-
mum frequency of 500kHz.
The MAX1698 EV kit can evaluate additional off-board
LEDs. For instructions on evaluating additional LEDs,
see the
Evaluating Off-Board LEDs
section.
Evaluating Output Voltages Over +24V
Zener diode D2 clamps the output voltage V
OUT
at
+24V if the LED array circuit opens. To evaluate output
voltages greater than +24V, zener diode D2 must be
replaced. Choose the zener diode +2V above the maxi-
mum V
OUT
. The MOSFET N1 breakdown voltage
should exceed the zener voltage. Output capacitor
C2’s voltage rating must exceed the zener diode voltage.

Jumper Selection Shutdown Mode
The MAX1698 EV kit features a shutdown mode that
reduces the MAX1698 quiescent current to less than
1µA (max), preserving battery life. The three-pin jumper
(JU1) selects the shutdown mode for the circuit. Table
1 lists the selectable jumper options.
