MAXM15064 5V Output
Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAXM15064 5V
Output-Voltage Application
General Description
The MAXM15064 5V output evaluation kit (EV kit) pro-
vides a proven design to evaluate the MAXM15064
high-voltage, high-efficiency, synchronous step-down
DC-DC module. The EV kit is programmed to deliver
5V output for loads up to 300mA. The EV kit features an
adjustable input undervoltage lockout, selectable mode,
and open-drain
RESET
signal. The MAXM15064 data
sheet provides a complete description of the module
that should be read in conjunction with this EV kit data
sheet prior to modifying the demo circuit. For full module
features, benefits and parameters, refer to the MAXM15064
data sheet.
Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
● One 4.5V to 60V DC, 300mA power supply
● 1.5W resistive load with 300mA sink capacity
● Four digital multimeters (DMM)
● MAXM15064EVKIT#
Equipment Setup and Test Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify the board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on power supply until all
connections are completed.
1)
2)
Set the power supply at a voltage between 4.5V and
60V. Then, disable the power supply.
Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to
the VIN PCB pad and the negative terminal to the
nearest GND PCB pad. Connect the positive termi-
nal of the 300mA load to the VOUT PCB pad and the
negative terminal to the nearest GND PCB pad.
Connect the DVM (DMM in voltage-measurement
mode) across the VOUT PCB pad and the nearest
GND PCB pad.
Verify that shunt is not installed on jumper J1
(see
Table 1
for details).
Turn on the DC power supply.
Enable the load.
Verify that the DVM displays 5V.

MAXM15064 5V Output
Evaluation Kit
Detailed Description
Evaluates: MAXM15064 5V
Output-Voltage Application
For MAXM15064 to turn on at 12V input, the Resistor R2
is calculated to be 249kΩ.
The MAXM15064 EV kit is designed to demonstrate
salient features of MAXM15064 power module. The EV kit
includes an EN/UVLO PCB pad, and jumper J1, to enable
the output at a desired input voltage. Jumper J2 allows
selection of either PWM or PFM mode of operation based
on light-load performance requirements. An additional
RESET
pad is available for monitoring if the converter
output voltage is in regulation.
Input Capacitor Selection
Output Capacitor Selection
The input capacitor serves to reduce the current peaks
drawn from the input power supply and reduces switching
frequency ripple at the input. The input capacitance must
be greater than or equal to the value given in Table 1 of
MAXM15064
data sheet. Input capacitor C3 is chosen to
be 1µF/100V.
X7R ceramic output capacitors are preferred due to their
stability over temperature in industrial applications. The
required output capacitor (C5) for 5V output is selected
from Table 1 of the
MAXM15064
data sheet as 10µF/6.3V.
Hot-Plug-In and Long Input Cables
Adjusting Output Voltage
The MAXM15064 supports an adjustable output-voltage
range, from 0.9V to 5V, using a feedback resistive divider
from V
OUT
to FB. Output voltage can be programmed
using the values given in Table 1 of the
MAXM15064
data
sheet. For 5V output, R3 is chosen as 348kΩ, and R4 is
chosen as 75kΩ.
Enable/Undervoltage-Lockout (EN/UVLO)
Programming
The MAXM15064 offers an adjustable input undervoltage-
lockout feature. In this EV kit, for normal operation, leave
jumper J1 open. When J1 is left open, the MAXM15064
is enabled when the input voltage rises above 12V. To
disable MAXM15064, install a jumper across pins 2-3 on
J1. See
Table 1
for J1 settings. A potential divider formed
by R1 and R2 sets the input voltage (V
INU
) at which the
module is enabled. The value of resistor R1 is chosen
to be 2.2MΩ, and R2 is calculated using the following
equation:

The MAXM15064 EV kit PCB provides an optional
electrolytic capacitor (C2, 4.7µF/100V) to dampen input
voltage peaks and oscillations that can arise during hot-
plug-in and/or due to long input cables. This capacitor
limits the peak voltage at the input of the MAXM15064
power module, when the EV kit is powered directly from a
precharged capacitive source or an industrial backplane
PCB. Long input cables, between input power source and
the EV kit circuit can cause input-voltage oscillations due
to the inductance of the cables. The equivalent series
resistance (ESR) of the electrolytic capacitor helps damp
out the oscillations caused by long input cables. Further,
capacitor C1 (0.1µF/100V), placed near the input of the
board, helps in attenuating high frequency noise.
Mode of Operation
The MAXM15064 features PFM mode of operation to
increase the efficiency at light-load condition. If the MODE
pin is left unconnected during powerup, the module
operates in PFM mode at light loads. If the MODE pin is
connected to GND during power-up, the part operates in
constant-frequency PWM mode at all loads. See
Table 2
for J2 settings.
Internal LDO
where R1 and R2 are in kΩ,
An internal regulator provides a 5V nominal supply to
power the internal functions of the module. The output of
the linear regulator (V
CC
) should be bypassed with a 1µF
capacitor C4 to GND.
