MAX1677 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
The MAX1677 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains
two separate switching-regulator circuits. The first cir-
cuit is configured for a +3.3V main output and +20V
LCD bias voltage. It accepts inputs from +0.7V to
+3.3V. The main +3.3V output supplies up to 350mA
from a 2-cell input, or 140mA from a 1-cell input, while
the LCD bias output supplies up to 12mA at +20V.

ꢀ Up to 140mA from 1-Cell Input (Main Output)
ꢀ Up to 12mA Output Current (LCD Bias Output)
The second circuit converts a +0.7V to +3.3V battery
voltage to a +3.3V main output and a -20V LCD bias
voltage. The main +3.3V output supplies up to 350mA
from a 2-cell input, or 140mA from a 1-cell input, while
the LCD bias output supplies 10mA at -20V.
ꢀ Internal N-Channel Switches and Synchronous
Rectifier
ꢀ 1µA IC Shutdown Current
ꢀ 300kHz Switching Frequency
ꢀ Surface-Mount Components
ꢀ Fully Assembled and Tested
The MAX1677 features internal N-channel MOSFET
switches, a synchronous rectifier, low-battery compara-
tor, and selectable PFM/PWM mode. The MAX1677 EV
kit provides low quiescent current and high efficiency—
up to 95% for maximum battery life. Operation at
300kHz allows the use of tiny surface-mount inductors.
