MAX1763 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
The MAX1763 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains
two separate boost switching-regulator circuits. The
first circuit (left side) utilizes a MAX1763 in a 16-pin
QSOP package and is configured for a +3.3V output
that accepts inputs from a +0.7V to VOUT source and
provides up to 1.1A of current. A 1- or 2-cell alkaline
battery source can also power the input.
ꢀ +0.7V to +5.5V Input Range
ꢀ Output Voltages
+3.3V Fixed Output at 1.1A (left side)
+3.3V Fixed Output at 1.4A (right side)
+2.8V LDO Linear Regulator Output at 1A
(right side) as Shipped
ꢀ Internal N-Channel Power Switch and P-Channel
The second circuit (right side) uses a MAX1763 in a
high-power 16-pin TSSOP-EP (exposed pad) package,
is configured for a +3.3V output, and supplies up to
1.4A of current. It accepts inputs from a +0.7V to +5.5V
source, or a 1- or 2-cell alkaline battery can power the
input. The right side includes a low-dropout (LDO) lin-
ear regulator that draws power from the +3.3V output
and provides +2.8V at up to 1A of current.
Synchronous Rectifier
ꢀ 1µA Shutdown Current
ꢀ 1MHz Switching Frequency
ꢀ Externally Synchronizable (500kHz to 1.2MHz)
ꢀ Surface-Mount Components
ꢀ Fully Assembled and Tested
The MAX1763 features an internal N-channel MOSFET
switch, a P-channel MOSFET synchronous rectifier, and
pulse-width modulation (PWM) operation for maximum
efficiency. The MAX1763 EV kit demonstrates low qui-
escent current and high efficiency up to 96% for maxi-
mum battery life. Operation at 1MHz allows the use of
tiny surface-mount components.
