MAX1565 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX1565 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that accepts 1.5V to 3.6V input
voltages and provides all the output voltages required
for a typical digital still camera. The outputs consist of
the main step-up output (3.35V), a step-down output
(1.5V), a general-purpose 5V output, two outputs for
charge-coupled device (CCD) and LCD bias, and an
optional general-purpose output using the MAX1801
slave controller.

Quick Start
Follow the steps below to verify operation of the
MAX1565 EV kit.
Do not turn on the power supply until
all connections are completed:
1) Connect a series LED array or install surface-mount
white LEDs in D7–D10. When connecting an LED
array, connect the anode to LEDOUT+ and connect
the cathode to LEDOUT-.
2) Preset the power supply to between 1.5V and 3.6V.
3) Turn off the power supply.
4) Connect the power-supply positive lead to IN.
5) Connect the power-supply ground lead to GND.
6) Connect loads from outputs OUTSD, OUT1, OUT3A,
and OUT3B to GND. See Table 1 for maximum load
currents.
7) To enable the main step-up output, verify that JU1
has pins 2 and 3 shorted.
8) Verify that JU2–JU8 have pins 1 and 2 shorted.
9) Turn on the power supply.
10) Use a voltmeter to verify the OUTSU voltage (3.35V).
11) Connect a load, if desired, from OUTSU to GND.
See Table 1 for maximum load currents.
12) To verify other outputs, move JU2–JU5 to short pins
2 and 3. Use a voltmeter to verify output voltages.

Note 2:
With four white LEDs connected in series from LEDOUT+
to LEDOUT-, this output is regulated to approximately 60mW per

With an open circuit, LEDOUT+ is approximately 30V.
Note 3:
Only the 15V output is fed back to the controller regula-
tion point. A small preload (at least 5mA) is needed for the -7.5V
output to be in regulation.

Detailed Description
Main Step-Up Output (OUTSU)
The main output (OUTSU) powers the internal circuitry
of the MAX1565 and must reach its regulation voltage
before any other output turns on. To enable OUTSU,
short pins 2 and 3 of JU1. When JU1 pins 1 and 2 are
shorted, all outputs shut down and the IC is in low-cur-
rent shutdown mode.
When pins 1 and 2 of JU8 are shorted, OUTSU is pre-
set to 3.35V. If a different output voltage is desired, see
the
Adjusting the Main Step-Up Output Voltage
section.

Step-Down Output (OUTSD)
The step-down output (OUTSD) is preset to 1.5V. To
enable OUTSD, short pins 2 and 3 of JU2. To shut
down OUTSD, short pins 1 and 2 of JU2. For the preset
1.5V output, short pins 1 and 2 of JU7. To adjust the
output voltage, see the
Adjusting the Step-Down
Output Voltage
section.
load of 5mA (min) is required on OUT3B to maintain
regulation at -7.5V. To enable OUT3A/OUT3B, short
pins 2 and 3 of JU5. To turn off these outputs, short
pins 1 and 2 of JU5.
Step-Down OK (SDOK)
The step-down OK output (SDOK) is an active-low,
open-drain output that is low until the step-down con-
verter has completed soft-start. For more details on
SDOK, refer to the MAX1565 data sheet.
Customizing the MAX1565
Evaluation Kit
Optional Step-Up Controller (OUT4)
A MAX1801 step-up slave controller can be used with
the MAX1565 EV kit to generate an additional output. To
use this feature, install a MAX1801 in U2 on the solder
side of the PC board. Contact Maxim for free samples of
the MAX1801. Also install components N4, D6, L5, C15,
C16, R16, R17, and R18. Refer to the MAX1801 data
sheet for information on selecting these components.
OUT1
OUT1 is a regulated 5V output. To enable OUT1, connect
pins 2 and 3 of JU3. If an output voltage other than 5V is
desired, see the
Adjusting the OUT1 Voltage
section.
LED Outputs (LEDOUT+, LEDOUT-)
LEDOUT+ and LEDOUT- are designed to drive a series
array of white LEDs for backlighting. Connect an array
consisting of two to six white LEDs in series to these
outputs. The anode side connects to LEDOUT+ and the
cathode side connects to LEDOUT-. Alternately, indi-
vidual surface-mount white LEDs can be installed in
D7–D10. If only two or three LEDs are connected, short
the pads of the remaining unpopulated LEDs. With four
white LEDs installed, the LED power is regulated to
approximately 60mW each. To enable the LED output,
short pins 2 and 3 of JU4. To turn off the LED output,
short pins 1 and 2 of JU4. To adjust the LED bright-
ness, see the
Adjusting the LED Brightness
section.
Adjusting the Main Step-Up
Output Voltage
The main step-up output (OUTSU) can be adjusted
from 2.7V to 5.5V using the following procedure:
1) Short pins 2 and 3 of JU8.
2) Cut the PC board trace that shorts the pads of R12
(located on the solder side of the PC board).
3) Select a value for R13 between 10kΩ and 100kΩ.
4) Solve for R12:
⎛

⎞
R12
=
R13
× ⎜
OUTSU
- 1
⎟
⎝
1.25
⎠
5) Install R12 and R13.
CCD Outputs (OUT3A, OUT3B)
OUT3A and OUT3B provide the voltages necessary for
CCD bias. OUT3A is +15V, and OUT3B is -7.5V. These
voltages are generated using a flyback transformer.
The output voltage at OUT3A is regulated, while the
voltage at OUT3B is controlled by the turns ratio of the
transformer. If OUT3B is not loaded while OUT3A is
loaded at 20mA or more, OUT3B is then -10V (typ). A
Adjusting the Step-Down Output Voltage
The step-down output voltage (OUTSD) can be set
from 1.25V to V

using the following procedure:
1) Short pins 2 and 3 of JU7.
2) Cut the PC board trace that shorts the pads of R10
(located on the solder side of the PC board).

5) Install R10 and R11.

not necessary to change R15.

Adjusting the OUT1 Voltage
OUT1 can be set to any voltage above 1.25V. Note that
OUT1 rises above its regulation voltage if the input volt-
age is greater than what OUT1 is set to. Use the follow-
ing procedure to set V
OUT1
:
1) Short pins 2 and 3 of JU6.
2) Cut the PC board trace that shorts the pads of R6
(located on the solder side of the PC board).
3) Select a value for R7 between 10kΩ and 100kΩ.
4) Solve for R6:
⎛

5) Install R6 and R7.

7) Find the open-circuit voltage of the circuit. To pre-
vent damage to the EV kit when the LEDs are not
installed, make sure this voltage is less than 30V:

8) Install the new resistors.
Constant-Current Regulation
The MAX1565 EV kit can be configured to regulate the
current through the LEDs. Note that this connection does
not include the overvoltage protection provided by the
constant-power design. Two to six LEDs must be con-
nected from LEDOUT+ to LEDOUT-. Use the following
procedure to configure the EV kit for constant-current
regulation:
1) Remove R14.
2) Short the pads of R15.
3) Calculate the value for R20:
R20
=
1.25
I

Adjusting the LED Brightness
Constant Power Regulation
The MAX1565 EV kit uses a three-resistor feedback
connection that regulates the LEDs at a nearly constant
power. This configuration also protects the circuit by
limiting the voltage at LEDOUT+ in case of an open cir-
cuit. Use the following procedure to set the LED power:
1) Select the desired power per LED (P
LED
) and the
number of LEDs to be used (n), between two and six.
2) Determine the minimum and maximum LED forward-
voltage drop (V
FMIN
and V
FMAX
) at the desired
power. Refer to the LED data sheet for this informa-
tion. For typical white LEDs, these are approximately
V
FMIN
= 3V and V
FMAX
= 4V.
3) Find the minimum and maximum LED current, assum-
ing a constant power of P
LED
:
I
LED(MIN)
= P
LED
/ V
FMAX

LED(MAX)
= P

4) Calculate the value for R20:
R20

LED(MIN)
4) Replace R20 with the new value resistor.
Adjusting the CCD Output Voltages
A custom flyback transformer is used to generate out-
puts OUT3A and OUT3B. To change these outputs,
replace T1 with a transformer designed for the new out-
put voltages. OUT3A is regulated, while OUT3B
depends on the turns ratio of the transformer. To set a
new regulation voltage for OUT3A, use the following
procedure:
1) Select a value for R9 between 10kΩ and 100kΩ.
2) Solve for R8:
⎛
V
⎞
R8
=
R9
× ⎜
OUT3A
- 1
⎟
⎝
1.25
⎠
3) Replace R8 and R9.

Changing the Switching Frequency
The switching frequency of the MAX1565 is adjustable.
Typically, frequencies from 400kHz to 500kHz provide
a good compromise between efficiency and compo-
nent size. To change the frequency, replace C14 and
R19. Refer to the MAX1565 data sheet for information
on selecting values for these components.
