MAX17117 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
S +2.3V to +5.5V Input Range
The MAX17117 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested surface-mount PCB that provides the
voltages and features required for active-matrix, thin-film
transistor (TFT), liquid-crystal display (LCD) applica-
tions. The EV kit contains a high-performance step-up
regulator, a 350mA low-dropout (LDO) linear regulator,
a high-speed operational amplifier (op amp), a positive
charge pump for the TFT gate-on supply, a negative
charge pump for the TFT gate-off supply, and a 7-output
high-voltage, level-shifting scan driver with gate-shading
control.
S Output Voltages
+8.5V Output at 250mA from a +2.7V Input
(Step-Up Switching Regulator)
+23V Output at 20mA (Positive Charge Pump)
-6V Output at 10mA (Negative Charge Pump)
+4.25V High-Current Op Amp Capable of
Delivering 200mA (typ) Short-Circuit Output
Current
S Resistor-Adjustable Switching-Regulator, Op-Amp
The EV kit operates from a DC supply voltage of +2.3V
to +5.5V. The step-up switching regulator is configured
for a +8.5V output providing at least 250mA from a +2.7V
input. The positive charge pump is configured to provide
a +23V output providing at least 20mA. The negative
charge pump is configured to provide a -6V output
providing at least 10mA. The op amp is configured for
+4.25V. The high-voltage, level-shifting scan driver with
gate-shading control is designed to drive the TFT panel
gate drivers.
