MAXM17552 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAXM17552
5V Output-Voltage Application
General Description
The MAXM17552 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a demon-
stration circuit of the MAXM17552 ultra-small, high effi-
ciency, current mode, synchronous step-down DC-DC
switching power module. The EV kit operates over a
wide input-voltage of 14V to 60V and provides up to
100mA load current with a 5V output voltage. The EV
kit is programmed to switch at a frequency of 450kHz.
The module is simple to use and easily configurable
with minimal external components. It features cycle-by-
cycle peak current-limit protection, undervoltage lockout
(EN/UVLO), and thermal shutdown.
The EV kit comes with the compact 10-pin 2.6mm x
3mm x 1.5mm uSLIC™ package MAXM17552 module
installed, and is rated to operate over the full industrial/
automotive -40°C to +125°C temperature range. For full
specifications, features and benifits of the IC, refer to the
MAXM17552 data sheet.

Procedure
The MAXM17552 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Please follow the steps below to verify the board opera-
tion.
Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all
connections are completed.
1)
2)
3)
Set the power supply at a voltage between 14V and
60V. Disable the power supply.
Connect the positive and negative terminals of the
power supply to VIN and GND PCB pads, respectively.
Connect the positive and negative terminals of the
100mA load to VOUT and GND PCB pads respec-
tively, and the set the load to 0A.
Connect the DVM across the VOUT PCB pad and the
GND PCB pad closest to VOUT PCB pad.
Enable the input power supply.
Verify the DVM across output display 5V.
Increase the load up to 100mA to verify the output
voltage is 5V using DVM.

5V Output-Voltage Application
operates in a constant-frequency forced-PWM mode at
all loads. The mode of operation cannot be changed on-
the-fly during normal operation of the device. Refer to the
MAXM17552 module datasheet for more information on
the PWM and PFM modes of operation.

EV kit jumper settings that can be used to configure the
desired mode of operation.
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAXM17552 EV kit is a proven circuit to demonstrate
the high-voltage, high-efficiency, and compact solution
size of the MAXM17552 synchronous step-down DC-DC
power module. The output voltage is preset to 5V to
operate from 14V to 60V input and provides up to 100mA
load current. The optimal frequency is set at 450kHz to
maximize efficiency and minimize component size. The
EV kit includes two test points, TP1 for monitoring the LX
and TP2 for measuring the
RESET
voltage.
External Synchronization (RT/SYNC)
Soft-Start Input (SS)
The module offers a fixed 5.1ms internal soft-start when
the SS pin is left unconnected. When adjustable soft-start
time is required, connect a capacitor from SS to GND to
program the soft-start time. The minimum soft-start time is
related to the output capacitance (C
OUT
) and the output
voltage (V
OUT
) by the following equation:
t
SS
> 0.05 x C
OUT
x V
OUT
where t
SS
is in milliseconds and C
OUT
is in µF.
Soft-start time (t
SS
) is related to the capacitor connected
at SS (C
3
) by the following equation:
C
3
= 6.25 x t
SS
where t
SS
is in ms and C
3
is in nF.
The RT/SYNC pin can be used to synchronize module’s
internal oscillator to an external system clock. Refer to
the
External Synchronization
section in the
MAXM17552
data sheet
for additional information on configuring the
external clock synchronization.
Reset Output (RESET)
The module includes an open-drain
RESET
output to
monitor output voltage.
RESET
should be pulled up with
an external resistor to the desired external power supply
less than or equal to 5.5V.
RESET
goes high-impedance
2ms after the output rises above 95% of its nominal set
value and pulls low when the output voltage falls below
92% of the set nominal output voltage.
RESET
asserts low
during the hiccup timeout period. In this EV kit, R7 resistor
is used to pull up the
RESET
to the output voltage.
