MAX1543 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX1543 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount circuit board that provides
the voltages and features required for active-matrix,
thin-film transistor (TFT) liquid-crystal displays (LCDs).
The EV kit contains a step-up switching regulator, a
positive two-stage charge pump for the TFT gate-on
supply, and a negative single-stage charge pump for
the TFT gate-off supply. Also included are two opera-
tional amplifiers that can be used to drive the LCD
backplane (VCOM) or the gamma-correction divider
string, and a logic-controlled, high-voltage switch with
adjustable delay. The EV kit also evaluates the
MAX1542 after IC replacement.
The EV kit operates from a DC supply voltage of +2.6V
to +5.5V. The step-up switching regulator is configured
for a +8V output providing at least 250mA. The positive
charge pump is configured for a +22V output providing
at least 20mA. The negative charge pump is configured
for a -7V output providing at least 20mA. The two oper-
ational amplifiers are both configured for +4V, each
capable of providing up to ±150mA peak. The high-
voltage switch can be used to delay the startup of the
positive charge pump’s output. The delay time is set
with an external capacitor.
The MAX1543 EV kit demonstrates low quiescent cur-
rent and high efficiency (85%) for maximum battery life.
Operation at 1.2MHz allows the use of tiny surface-
mount components. The MAX1543 QFN package
(0.8mm maximum height) with low-profile external com-
ponents allows this circuit to be less than 1.25mm high.

Detailed Description
The MAX1543 EV kit contains a step-up switching regu-
lator, a positive two-stage charge pump, a negative sin-
gle-stage charge pump, two operational amplifiers, and
a high-voltage switch matrix. The EV kit operates from a
DC power supply between +2.6V and +5.5V that can
provide at least 2A. The switching frequency is jumper
2
selectable between 600kHz and 1.2MHz. The EV kit
also evaluates the MAX1542 after replacing IC U1.
As configured, the step-up switching regulator (VMAIN)
generates a +8V output and can provide at least
250mA from a +2.6V input. It also provides at least
300mA from a +3.0V input and 500mA from a +5V
input. The step-up switching-regulator output voltage
can be adjusted up to +13V with other feedback resis-
tors (see the
Output-Voltage Selection
section).
The GON supply consists of two positive charge-pump
stages to generate approximately +22V and can pro-
vide greater than 20mA. The GOFF supply consists of a
single negative charge-pump stage to generate
approximately -7V and can provide greater than 20mA.
The operational amplifier outputs, VOUT1 and VOUT2,
are set to +4V and can source or sink approximately
150mA. These two outputs can be reconfigured to
other voltages by changing the voltage-divider resistors
(see the
Output-Voltage Selection
section).
The high-voltage switch between the SRC and COM pins
can be used to delay the GON output startup. The GON
voltage is connected to the source of the switch (SRC),
_______________________________________________________________________________________
MAX1543 Evaluation Kit
and the drain of the switch (COM) is used as an output.
The startup delay time is set with an external capacitor at
the DEL pin. Refer to the
Delay Control Circuit
section in
the MAX1543 data sheet for information on setting the
delay time.
The switch between the SRC and COM pins and the
switch between the COM and DRN pins can be con-
trolled by jumper JU2 or by external logic connected to
the CTL pad. See Table 2 for switch states and refer to
the
Delay Control Circuit
section in the MAX1543 data
sheet for further information about the high-voltage
switches connected to the COM pin.
The MAX1543 EV kit also evaluates the MAX1542. To
evaluate the MAX1542, replace U1 with a MAX1542 IC
(refer to the MAX1542/MAX1543 data sheet for specifi-
cations of the MAX1542).
Inductor Selection
section in the MAX1542/MAX1543
data sheet).

High-Voltage Switch Control (CTL)
The MAX1543 EV kit features an option to control the
high-voltage switches between SRC, COM, and DRN
on the MAX1543 or the high-voltage switch between
SRC and COM on the MAX1542. Table 2 lists the selec-
table JU2 jumper options.
Output-Voltage Selection
Step-Up Switching-Regulator Output
Voltage (VMAIN)
The MAX1543 EV kit’s step-up switching-regulator out-
put (VMAIN) is set to +8V by feedback resistors R1 and
R2. To generate output voltages other than +8V (up to
+13V), select different external voltage-divider resis-
tors, R1 and R2. Note that changing the VMAIN voltage
setting also changes the GON and GOFF charge-pump
output voltages. Output capacitors C4 and C5 are
rated for +10V. To set the output voltage greater than
+10V, use higher voltage-rated capacitors. Refer to the
Main Step-Up Converter
and
Output Voltage
sections in
the MAX1542/MAX1543 data sheet for instructions on
selecting resistors R1 and R2.
Jumper Selection
Switching-Frequency Selection (FREQ)
The MAX1543 EV kit features an option to choose the
step-up regulator switching frequency. Jumper JU1
selects the switching frequency. Table 1 lists the selec-
table jumper options. The EV kit is configured for
1.2MHz operation. Optimum performance at lower fre-
quencies requires a larger inductor value (refer to the

(VOUT1 and VOUT2)
The MAX1543’s operational amplifiers are configured
as unity-gain buffers by the PC board traces shorting
R14 between NEG1 and OUT1 and R16 between NEG2
and OUT2. The voltages at the noninverting inputs
POS1 and POS2 are set to half of VMAIN by voltage-
divider resistors (R3, R4) and (R5, R6), respectively. To
set VOUT1 and VOUT2 to other voltages (up to
VMAIN), select different divider resistors.
