Required Equipment
● MAX17245 EV kit
● 14V, 3A DC power supply
● Electronic load capable of 3.5A
● Digital voltmeter (DVM)
Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on
supplies until all connections are completed.
1) Verify that jumpers JU1 and JU2 are in their default
positions, as shown in
Table 1
and
Table 2.
2) Connect the power supply between the EXT_VBAT
and nearest PGND banana jacks.
3) Connect the 3.5A electronic load between the OUT
and nearest PGND banana jacks.
4) Connect the DVM between the OUT and nearest
PGND banana jacks.

Detailed Description of Hardware
Setting the Switching Frequency (FOSC)
The EV kit demonstrates the MAX17245 high-voltage,
high-frequency, step-down converter with low operating
current. The EV kit operates over a wide 6V to 36V input
range and the output is set for 5V at 3.5A.
The EV kit switching frequency is set by a resistor, R
FOSC
(R2), connected from F
OSC
to AGND. Refer to
Figure 3
of
the MAX17245 IC data sheet for a graphical approach of
selecting the correct R
FOSC
(R2) value.
Enable (EN)
Power-Good Output (PGOOD)
Place a shunt in the 1-2 position on jumper JU1 for normal
operation. To place the device into shutdown mode, move
the shunt on JU1 to the 2-3 position.
Synchronization Input (FSYNC)
The EV kit features jumper JU2 to control the synchronization
input (FSYNC). Connect FSYNC to AGND to enable skip-
mode operation. Connect to BIAS or to an external clock to
enable fixed-frequency forced-PWM mode operation.
The device can be synchronized to an external signal
applied to FSYNC. To use an external clock, uninstall
the shunt on JU2 and apply the signal at the FSYNC test
point. The external clock frequency at FSYNC can be
higher or lower than the internal clock by 20%. Ensure
that the duty cycle of the external clock used has a minimum
100ns pulse width.
The EV kit provides a PGOOD test point to monitor the
status of the device output. PGOOD asserts when V
OUT
rises above 95% of its regulation voltage. PGOOD
deasserts when V
OUT
drops below 92% of its regulation
voltage.
Output
Connect FB to BIAS for a fixed +5V (EV kit default output)
output voltage. To set the output to other voltages between
1V and 10V, remove R12 and connect a resistive divider
from output (OUT) to FB to AGND. Use the following formula
to determine the R4 and R6 of the resistive-divider network:
V
R4
=
OUT

where V
FB
= 1V.
Synchronizing Output (SYNCOUT)
The EV kit provides a test point EXT_5V to pull up
the open-drain SYNCOUT to an external 5V supply.
SYNCOUT is a 180° out-of-phase clock output relative to
the internal oscillator at SYNCOUT to create cascaded
power supplies with multiple MAX17245s.
