MAX8819A Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX8819A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested PCB for evaluating the MAX8819A
power-management IC (PMIC). The MAX8819A PMIC is
ideal for use in MP3 players and other handheld appli-
cations. In addition to the three step-down converters
and WLED driver, the MAX8819A integrates a 1-cell
lithium ion (Li+) or lithium polymer (Li-poly) charger and
Smart Power Selector™ with a power input that accepts
a USB or AC-to-DC adapter.
The MAX8819A EV kit can also be used to evaluate the
MAX8819B, MAX8819C, or MAX8819D. Request a pin-
compatible sample when ordering this EV kit.

4) Optionally, connect an AC-to-DC adapter to the DC
pad and nearest GND pad.
5) Using a voltmeter, verify that the output voltages
match the values shown in Table 2.
6) Verify that the WLEDs are brightly lit.
7) Dim the WLEDs by repeatedly pressing pushbutton
S1. Verify that the WLEDs are dimming with each
pulse and then return to full brightness on the 32nd
button press.
8) Verify that the WLEDs turn off by removing the
shunt on jumper JU9 or by moving the shunt from
pins 1-2 of jumper JU10 to pins 2-3.
Battery Charger
To enable the battery charger, short jumper JU3 (CEN).
To disable the battery charger, open jumper JU3 (CEN).
The battery regulation voltage is factory set to 4.2V (typ).
The resistor/jumper network allows for easy evaluation of
many charge-current settings (Table 3). The maximum
charge time is factory set and detailed in the
MAX8819A–MAX8819D IC data sheet.
Input Power Connections
Either a USB or AC-to-DC adapter can be connected to
DC. The AC-to-DC adapter must output between 4.1V
and 6V DC and be capable of providing 1A. One suit-
able AC-to-DC adapter is the CUI EPS050260UHH-
P5P-SZ.
The Li+ or Li-poly battery connects from the BAT pad to
the GND pad on the EV kit. Alternatively, a battery con-
nector (J1) is provided. J1 is a 10-circuit, 1.25mm
(0.049in) pitch surface-mount header, Molex part num-
ber 53261-1071. The recommended mating connector
is Molex 51021-1000 with crimp terminals 50058-8100.
To crimp the terminals, use Molex crimper 63811-0200.
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX8819A has four outputs: three step-down DC-
DC regulators (V1, V2, and V3) and one LED driver. All
three step-down regulator output voltages are
adjustable and set by external resistors on the EV kit.
See the
Setting the Output Voltages
section for informa-
tion on calculating these resistor values. The default
voltage and maximum current for each output is listed
in Table 2.
All regulators are powered from the system supply
(SYS) by default.
CHG
and
RST1
Output indicators are provided on the MAX8819A EV kit
for charger status (CHG) and REG1 converter reset
output (RST1). These pads connect to open-drain out-
puts with a pullup resistor to V1.
CHG
pulls low to indi-
cate that the battery is charging.
RST1
pulls low to indi-
cate that V
FB1
is below its regulation threshold.
RST1
goes high 200ms after V
FB1
reaches its regulation
threshold. Refer to the MAX8819A–MAX8819D IC data
sheet for more details.
Setting the Output Voltages
The step-down output voltages are adjustable from 1V
to V
SYS
. The voltage is adjusted by changing two resis-
tors on the EV kit board. First, select the lower feed-
back resistor (R
FBL
) connected from FB_ to GND. R
FBL
is typically 100kΩ for the step-down regulator. Next,
find the value of R
FBH
(connected between FB_ and
OUT_) from the following equation:
⎛

R
FBH
=
R
FBL
× ⎜

−

⎝

where V

LED Serial-Pulse Dimming
Pushbutton S1 and associated circuitry (Figure 4) allow
for easy evaluation of the WLED dimming feature. To
enable the pushbutton interface, install a shunt from
pins 1-2 on jumper JU10. Install a shunt on jumper JU9
to connect the pushbutton circuit to the MAX8819A IC
EN4 terminal.
When power is first applied to the REG4 (WLED driver)
converter and serial-pulse dimming circuit, the WLEDs
are set to maximum brightness (25mA per R1 on the EV
kit). To dim the WLEDs, repeatedly press S1. Each
pulse reduces the WLED current by 1/32 of maximum
WLED current. On the 32nd button press, the WLEDs
return to full brightness. To turn the WLEDs off, remove
the shunt from jumper JU9 to pull EN4 to ground. If
dimming control is not required, EN4 works as a simple
on/off control. Drive EN4 high to enable the WLEDs, or
drive EN4 low for shutdown.
Smart Power Selector
The MAX8819A Smart Power Selector seamlessly dis-
tributes power between the current-limited external
input (DC), the battery (BAT), and the system load
(SYS). For detailed information on the MAX8819A oper-
ation, refer to the MAX8819A–MAX8819D IC data sheet.
The DC input is current limited to 95mA, 475mA, 0mA
(suspend), or 1000mA, depending upon the pins
selected on jumper JU2 and JU1 (DILIM1 and DILIM2,
respectively). See Table 1 for jumper settings.

_______________________________________________________________________________________
MAX8819A Evaluation Kit
The serial-pulse dimming-control signal can also be
supplied by an external pulse generator. To configure
the EV kit for external serial-pulse control, remove the
shunt on jumper JU9, connect pins 2-3 on jumper
JU10, and apply the external serial-pulse control signal
to the EN4 pad. Refer to the MAX8819A–MAX8819D IC
data sheet for timing information.
Evaluating Other Charge Currents
The maximum fast-charge current is selected with
jumpers JU6, JU7, and JU8 (Table 3).
Evaluates: MAX8819A–MAX8819D
Programming the WLED Current
The MAX8819A uses sense resistor R1 to program the
maximum WLED current. The MAX8819A regulates
V
FB4
to 0.5V (typ) for full-scale output current.
Calculate R1 using the following equation:
R1
=
V
FB4
I
LED(MAX)
Disabling Regulator 2
If regulator 2 is not needed, disable it to reduce the qui-
escent current. To disable regulator 2, remove R11 and
replace C9 with a 0Ω resistor. Although components
L2, C10, R12, and R13 are not needed, they do not
have to be removed for EV kit evaluation. For produc-
tion circuits that do not need regulator 2, connect PV2,
PG2, LX2, and FB2 to ground.
MAX8819A EV Kit Temperature Range
The PCB and components of the MAX8819A EV kit
allow for operation with ambient temperatures from
-20°C to +70°C. Remove S1 to increase the ambient
temperature operating range from -30°C to +85°C.
where I
LED(MAX)
is the maximum WLED current.
Maximum WLED current is programmed to 25mA using
a 20Ω resistor.
Evaluating the
MAX8819B/MAX8819C/MAX8819D
Order a sample of the pin-compatible MAX8819B,
MAX8819C, or MAX8819D along with the MAX8819A
EV kit. Replace the MAX8819A (U1) with the sampled
IC. When evaluating the MAX8819C/MAX8819D, it is
recommended for optimal performance to replace
capacitors C8, C10, and C11 with a 22µF ceramic
capacitor. The 22µF ±20%, 6.3V X5R (0805) Taiyo
Yuden JMK212BJ226MD is recommended.
