MAX16928 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX16928
General Description
The MAX16928 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount PCB that provides the voltages
and features required for automotive thin-film transistor
(TFT), liquid-crystal display (LCD) applications. The EV
kit includes a boost converter, a 3.3V regulator controller
with external npn transistor, two gate voltage regulators,
a single-stage positive charge pump, and a single-stage
negative charge pump.
The EV kit can operate from 4.5V to 5.5V input voltages
and is optimized for automotive TFT-LCD applications.
The boost converter is configured for a 12V output that
provides at least 400mA. The regulator controller output
is 3.3V and provides at least 500mA. The positive-gate
voltage regulator provides 18V output and the negative-
gate voltage regulator provides -5.9V.

Quick Start
• MAX16928 EV kit
• Voltmeter
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on
the power supply until all connections are completed.
1) Verify that a shunt is installed on pins 1-2 on jumper
JU1.
2) Verify that a shunt is installed on pins 2-3 on jumper
JU2.
3) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to
the INA PCB pad. Connect the negative terminal of the
power supply to the PGNDP PCB pad closest to INA.
4) Set the power-supply INA to 5V.
5) Turn on the power supply.
6) Verify that the step-up switching regulator (VSH)
is 12V.
7) Verify that the 3.3V regulator is 3.3V.
8) Verify that the positive-gate voltage regulator (GH) is
approximately 18V.
9) Verify that the negative-gate voltage regulator (VGL)
is approximately -5.9V.
Recommended Equipment
• 4.5V to 5.5V, 2A DC power supply
Detailed Description of Hardware
Procedure
Several jumper settings in the following tables illustrate
features of the EV kit.
Jumper Settings
The device’s ENP pin enables the boost circuitry and the
3.3V regulator controller.
For
normal operation, drive ENP
high by installing a shunt on pins 1-2 on jumper JU1. For
shutdown mode, drive ENP low by installing a shunt on
pins 2-3 on JU1. See Table 1 for JU1 configuration.

Negative-Gate Voltage Regulator
The EV kit’s negative-gate voltage regulator output (VGL)
is set to -5.9V by feedback resistors R14 and R15. To
generate output voltages other than -5.9V, select R15
to be greater than 20kI to avoid loading down the
reference output. Select R14 according to the following
equation:

where V

FBGL
is the negative-gate
feedback set point (0.25V typ). Note that the negative-
gate voltage regulator is not short-circuit protected and
can be damaged by overcurrent.
Charge Pumps
The EV kit provides a single-stage positive charge pump
(VCP) and single-stage negative charge pump (VCN).

The device’s SEQ pin controls the order in which the
VGH and VGL supplies are sequenced. When a shunt
is installed on pins 1-2 on jumper JU2, VGL is turned on
first followed by VGH. When a shunt is installed on pins
2-3, VGH is turned on first followed by VGL. See Table 2
for JU2 configuration.

Boost Converter
The EV kit’s boost-converter output (VSH) is set to
12V by feedback resistors R11 and R12. To generate
output voltages other than 12V, select R12 in the 10kI
to 50kI range and select R11 according to the following
equation:

(1V typ). When increasing the boost output voltage, be
careful not to exceed the absolute maximum rating of
the CP pin (31V with INA = 5V and 29V with INA = 3.3V).
Positive-Gate Voltage Regulator
The EV kit’s positive-gate voltage regulator output (GH)
is set to 18V by feedback resistors R6 and R7. To gener-
ate output voltages other than 18V, select R7 in the 10kI
to 50kI range and select R6 according to the following
equation:

GH voltages greater than approximately 2 x VSH cannot
be produced.
where V
SCHOTTKY

Schottky diode and V
D
is the forward-voltage drop of the
charge-pump diode.
The EV kit comes standard with the MAX16928AGUP/
V+ IC installed, but can also evaluate several versions
of the MAX16928. The IC provides a variety of power
options to meet the most common automotive TFT-LCD
display-power requirements, as outlined in the
Ordering
Information
table in the MAX16928 IC data sheet. Note
some components, such as the inductor value and
compensation component values, may need to change
when evaluating other versions of the IC. Refer to the
Design Procedure
section of the MAX16928 IC data
sheet for further details.
