MAX8632 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX8632 evaluation kit (EV kit) is designed to evalu-
ate the MAX8632 DDR power-supply solution for note-
books, desktops, and graphics cards. The EV kit board
produces VDDQ at the output of the synchronous PWM
buck, VTT at the output of the sourcing/sinking LDO linear
regulator, and VTTR at the output of the reference buffer.
The VDDQ output is preset to 1.8V and sources up to
10A. The VTT output is always VDDQ / 2 and can
source/sink up to 3A of peak current and 1.5A of continu-
ous current. The VTTR output is also always VDDQ /2
and can source/sink up to 10mA.
The MAX8632 EV kit was conveniently designed with
jumpers to select the OVP/UVP, TON,
SKIP, STBY,
and
SHDN
modes. The board’s default settings enable OVP
(overvoltage protection), 300kHz switching frequency,
low-noise PWM mode, VDDQ, VTT, and VTTR.
The VIN input accepts voltages from 7V to 20.5V and
VDD requires a 5V bias supply.

3) Ensure a shunt is placed across pins 1-2 of jumper
JU3 to enable low-noise PWM mode.
4) Ensure a shunt is placed across pins 2-3 of jumper
JU4 to disable the VDDQ buck output.
5) Ensure a shunt is placed across pins 2-3 of jumper
JU6 to set the board in normal operation mode.
6) Connect the 5VDC power supply across the VDD
pad and the GND pad nearest VIN.
7) Connect the 12VDC power supply across the VIN
pad and the corresponding GND pad.
8) Turn on both of the power supplies.
9) Set JU4 (1-2). This turns VDDQ on.
10)Using one of the DVMs, verify that the VDDQ voltage
between the VDDQ and PGND pads is 1.8V (±2%).
11)Using the other DVM, verify that the VTT voltage
between the VTT and PGND pads is 0.9V (±2%).

• Two digital voltmeters (DVM)
Setting the Buck Regulator Output
Voltage (VDDQ)
The output voltage of the buck regulator is preset to
1.8V on the MAX8632 EV kit for DDR memory applica-
tions. To pin-strap the output voltage to 2.5V, follow the
steps below:
1) Remove R18.
2) Solder the 0Ω resistor from step 1 in the R9 location.
Refer to the MAX8632 data sheet to change the external
components for optimum performance.
Quick Start
The MAX8632 EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow
these steps to verify board operation.
Do not turn on the
power supplies until all connections are completed.
1) Ensure a shunt is placed across pins 1-4 of jumper
JU2 to enable OVP and UVP.
2) Ensure jumper JU1 is open to set the switching fre-
quency to approximately 300kHz.
