MAX1757/MAX1758 Evaluation Kits
General Description
The MAX1757/MAX1758 evaluation kits (EV kits) are
assembled and tested PC boards that implement a
step-down, switching lithium-ion (Li+) battery charger.
The MAX1757 EV kit can be set to charge 1- to 3-series
cells, and the MAX1758 EV kit can be set to charge 1-
to 4-series cells. The cell voltage can be set between
4.0V and 4.4V using standard 1% resistors while main-
taining 1% overall regulation voltage accuracy. Three
LEDs indicate the charging status.
The MAX1757/MAX1758 EV kits detect faulty cells and
terminate charging. Two capacitors are used to set the
charge termination, prequalification, and fault timeout
periods. A user-supplied thermistor may be connected
to either EV kit to monitor battery temperature and sus-
pend charging for over-/undertemperature conditions.

MAX1757/MAX1758 Evaluation Kits
Evaluate: MAX1757/MAX1758
Quick Start
The MAX1757/MAX1758 EV kits are fully assembled
and tested surface-mount boards. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation.
Do not turn on the
power supply until all connections are completed.
Observe all precautions on the battery manufactur-
er’s data sheet. Use only lithium-ion (Li+) cells with
this charger:
1) Set jumper JU3 to indicate the number of cells in the
battery pack (Table 1).
2) Place a shunt on jumper JU1 to disable the tempera-
ture monitoring functions.
3) Place a shunt across pins 1–2 on JU2 to enable the
MAX1757 or MAX1758.
4) For the MAX1757, connect a +7VDC to +14VDC
power supply with sufficient power rating across the
VIN and GND pads.
For the MAX1758, connect a +7VDC to +28VDC
power supply with sufficient power rating across the
VIN and GND pads.
5) Connect a lithium-ion (Li+) battery pack between the
BATT+ and BATT- pads.
6) Turn on the power supply.
7) Verify that LEDs 1, 2, and 3 indicate the correct
charging status.
thermistor (see
Jumper Selection
section).
If the charger is unable to enter the fast-charge or full-
charge states, charging is terminated and the fault LED
(red) lights to indicate a faulty battery.
For more information on the operation of the MAX1757
or MAX1758, refer to the
Detailed Description
sections
of the MAX1757 and MAX1758 data sheets.
Charging Status
The three LEDs on the EV kit indicate the charging status:
o
LED1 (FULL) indicates that the battery pack is being
charged with a constant voltage.
o
LED2 (FAST) indicates that the battery pack is being
charged with a constant current.
o
LED3 (FAULT) indicates that charging terminated ab-
normally.
Charging Current
The voltage at the ISETOUT pin sets the charging cur-
rent to the battery. The MAX1757/MAX1758 EV kits are
shipped with ISETOUT connected to REF. This sets the
charging current to the full-scale value of 1.5A.
To change the charging current to a lower value, cut
the trace shorting the two pads of R3 and install resis-
tors for R3 and R4. Use the equations below to calcu-
late the resistor values:
I
CHG
= (R4 / (R3 + R4)) x 1.5A
R3 = ((1.5A / I
CHG
) - 1) x R4
Use 100kΩ for R4.
Detailed Description
When battery charging is initiated, the charger enters
the prequalification state. In this state, the batteries are
charged at 1/10 of the programmed current limit while
the charger measures the battery to determine if it can
be charged. If the battery voltage is above 2.5V per
cell, charging begins. At this time, the batteries are
charged at a constant current (fast-charge state) or a
constant voltage (full-charge state). The charger exits
the full-charge state and enters the top-off state once
the battery current drops to 10% of the fast-charge cur-
rent, or the fast-charge timer expires. The charger
remains in the top-off state for 45 minutes, after which
charging is terminated.
Once charging is terminated, if the battery voltage
drops 5% from the fully charged voltage, charging
automatically restarts.
If at any time during charging, the thermistor input
senses a temperature below 0°C or above +50°C,
charging suspends until the temperature returns to a
safe level. This kit is shipped with a 10kΩ resistor to
disable the temperature monitoring function. If temper-
ature monitoring is required, connect the appropriate
2
Input Current
The input current limit is set by sense resistor R1 and
by the voltage applied to the ISETIN pin. This sets the
input current limit to 2A (100mV/50mΩ). The
MAX1757/MAX1758 EV kits are shipped with ISETIN
connected to REF and a 50mΩ sense resistor.
To change the input current limit to a lower value, cut
the trace shorting the two pads of R5 and install resis-
tors for R5 and R6. Use the equations below to calcu-
late the resistor values:
I
IN
= (R6 / (R5 + R6)) x 2A
R5 = ((2A / I
IN
) - 1) x R6
Use 100kΩ for R6.
To further increase the input current limit, reduce the
value of sense resistor R1.

Jumper Selection
Jumper JU1 connects the thermistor input (THERM) to
GND through a 10kΩ resistor, disabling temperature
qualification. To enable temperature qualification
(charging between 0°C and +50°C), remove the shunt
from JU1 and connect a thermistor (BC Components
part # 2322-640-63103 or equivalent) to the THERM
and GND pads. For more information, refer to the
MAX1757 and MAX1758 data sheets.
The EV kits can be placed in shutdown mode using
jumper JU2. (See Table 1 for jumper settings.)
Jumper JU3 selects the number of series cells to be
charged. (See Table 1 for jumper settings.)
