MAX756 Evaluation Kit
_______________General Description
The MAX756 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount printed circuit board. It can also be modified to fit the adjustable-output MAX757. T h e MAX756/MAX757 are CMOS, step-up, DC-DC switching regulators for small, low input voltage or battery-powered systems. The MAX756 accepts a positive input voltage down to 0.7V and converts it to a higher p i n - s e l e c t a b l e output voltage of 3.3V or 5V. The MAX757 is an adjustable version that accepts an input voltage down to 0.7V and generates a higher adjustable output voltage in the 2.7V to 5.5V range. Typical fullload efficiencies for the MAX756/MAX757 are greater than 87%. A movable jumper selects either 3.3V or 5.0V output voltage, and additional pads on the bottom of the board are provided to place resistors for the LBI/LBO low-battery detector and MAX757 output adjustment.

EV Kit Quick Reference
The MAX756 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount board. Follow these steps to verify board operation. Do not turn on the power supply until all connections are completed. 1. Connect a 1.8V to 5.5V supply to the pad marked VIN. The ground connects to the GND pad. 2. Connect a voltmeter and load (if any) to the VOUT pad. 3. Place the shunt on J1 across pins 1 and 2. 4. Place the shunt on J2 across pins 1 and 2 for a 5V output voltage. If a 3.3V output is desired, the shunt goes across pins 2 and 3, and the input voltage must be less than 3.6V. 5. Turn on the power and verify that the output voltage is 5V. 6. Refer to the section Using the MAX757 to modify the board for different output voltages.

and a 100mA load. The expected efficiency can be t a k e n from the graphs on the MAX756 data sheet. Under the above conditions, the MAX756 delivers 85% efficiency. Input Power = (5.0V x 100mA) / 85% Input Power = 588mW and Input Current = 588mW / 2.5V Input Current = 235mA Once started, the MAX756 actually operates at 10mA output from the regulated output voltage. This means that the input voltage can fall below the 1.8V minimum guaranteed start-up voltage. Typically, the regulated o u t p u t will be maintained even if the input voltage drops to 0.7V.

Using the Low-Battery Indicator
The MAX756 has an additional comparator useful for monitoring the input source's voltage level. Resistor locations R3 and R4 on the bottom of the printed circuit board are connected as a voltage divider between the LBI pad and the MAX756 LBI pin. Note that a printed c i r c u i t board trace across R4 shorts the LBI pin to ground when this function is not used. Cut the trace before installing R4. Refer to the Low-Battery Detection section of the MAX756/MAX757 data sheet for instructions on selecting values for resistors R3 and R4.

_______________Detailed Description
Input Source
T h e input source for the MAX756 evaluation board must be greater than 1.8V for guaranteed start-up (0.7V for operation once started), and less than the output voltage plus 0.5V. A typical input voltage range would be the 2.0V to 3.3V range of a 2-cell NiCd battery. An input voltage greater than the selected output voltage ( b u t less than 7V) will not damage the circuit. However, the MAX756 output will equal the input voltage minus the 0.3V drop of the Schottky diode, D1. The input current depends on the power delivered to the load. The following equations show how to calculate the expected input current requirement. Input Power = Output Power / Efficiency and Input Current = Input Power / Input Voltage To calculate the input current for a typical operating circuit, assume a 2.5V input voltage, a 5V output voltage,

Another location on the board facilitates the addition of a pull-up resistor on the LBO output. The LBO output is an open-drain output that can sink 2mA, but will source only 1µA. Install resistor R5 if an external circuit is to be driven from LBO.
Using the MAX757
The MAX756 can be replaced with a MAX757 to generate output voltages in the 2.7V to 5.5V range using external resistors. Besides replacing the IC, the only other modification required is to remove the shunt on J2 and add the output voltage-divider resistors R1 and R2 (located on the bottom of the board). The Output Voltage Selection section of the MAX756/MAX757 data sheet gives instructions for calculating R1 and R2 values.

Inductor Selection
The 22µH Sumida CD54-220 inductor that comes standard with the EV kit is a low-resistance, medium current inductor. It will provide excellent performance over the line and load ranges of the MAX756/MAX757. A smaller 22µH Sumida inductor (CD43-220) can also be used in most applications. For ultra-smalll, l o w e r - c u r r e n t applications, the 15µH Murata Erie L Q H 4 N 1 5 0 K 0 M 0 0 inductor is a good choice. Its dimensions are 3.2 x 4.5 x 3.6mm, and it can be used for outputs in the 30mA range. Efficiency will typically be greater than 80% using this inductor.
