The MAX17523 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that demonstrates the MAX17523
adjustable overcurrent and overvoltage protector. The
EV kit features TVS diode on input and Schottky diode
on output. Input power to the EV kit uses a 4.5V to 36V
input supply.
The EV kit circuit can be configured to demonstrate the
device’s different current-limit types, adjustable overvoltage,
undervoltage, and current-limit threshold.

Features
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
Verify that all jumpers are in their default positions.
Connect the USB cable to J1 from a computer or
connect a 5V DC power supply to TP3.
Verify that LED1 is on.
Connect a 20V DC power supply to IN. Verify that
OUT is 20V.
Increase voltage on the DC power supply and verify
that the OUT voltage goes down and
FLAG
goes low
when input reaches approximately 33V.
Decrease voltage on the DC power supply and verify
that OUT goes back and
FLAG
goes high when the
input reaches approximately 32V.

Detailed Description of Hardware
Current-Limit Threshold
The MAX17523 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
circuit board that demonstrates the MAX17523 1A
adjustable overcurrent and overvoltage protector IC in a
16-pin surface-mount TQFN-EP package.
Using jumper JU1, the EV kit circuit can be configured to
evaluate different current-limit thresholds with a different
resistor on SETI. Using jumpers JU3–JU5, the EV kit circuit
can be configured to evaluate the internal OVLO/UVLO
threshold or external threshold using a resistor-divider.
Using jumpers JU14 and JU15, the EV kit circuit can be
configured to evaluate different current-limit types (autoretry,
latchoff, and continuous). The EV kit also features an LED
to indicate the power for logic pins.
The EV kit features a jumper (JU1) to select current-limit
threshold. Install a jumper as shown in
Table 2
to change
the current-limit threshold.
Use the following equation to calculate the current limit:
6100
R SETI ( k
Ω
)
=
ILIM (mA)
UVLO/OVLO Threshold
Use jumpers JU3–JU5 to select UVLO and OVLO threshold.
See
Table 3
for jumper settings.
Switch Control
The EV kit features two jumpers (JU6, JU8) to enable or
disable the switch. See
Table 4
for jumper settings and
Table 5
for switch status.

Reverse-Current Block Enable
Use jumper JU9 to enable or disable the reverse-current
flow protection. The reverse-current block is enabled
when
RIEN
is logic-low. See
Table 6
for jumper settings.
Output Load Capacitor
Use jumper JU13 to connect output to 330µF capacitor.
See
Table 9
for jumper settings.
Current-Limit Type Select
The EV kit features jumpers JU12, JU14, JU15 to select
different current-limit type and sampled time. See
