MAX9017A EV kit
1.8V to 5.5V, 100mA DC power supply
Precision voltage calibrator
Two digital multimeters
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
General Description
The MAX9017A evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains all the components
necessary to evaluate both MAX9017 and MAX9019 ICs.
The MAX9017AEVKIT printed circuit board (PCB) comes
installed with MAX9017AEKA/V+ in 8-SOT23 package.
The device is a low-power, dual comparator with internal
1.24V voltage reference. The EV kit operates from a
single 1.8V to 5.5V DC power supply or from ±0.9V to
±2.75V split supply.

Verify that shunts on J1, J2 are open and shunts on

Set a DC power supply to 3.3V with a multi meter in
series to check supply current. Connect the positive
terminal of the power supply to the positive terminal
of multi meter for current and connect negative terminal
of multi meter to V
CC
test point and the ground
terminal of power supply to the GND test point.
Set precision voltage calibrator to 2.5V. Connect the
positive terminal of the calibrator to the INA+ test
point and the ground terminal to the GND test point.
Now short a wire between the INA+ test point and
INB+ test point. Also, short a wire between the REF/
INA- to INB- test points.
Enable DC power supply on V
CC
first and then turn
on voltage calibrator on INA+ test point.
Verify if the supply current measurement reading on
V
CC
pin is on the order of ~1.2µA.
Verify that OUTA and OUTB are at logic-high (3.3V).
Decrease the voltage set on INA+ test point to 1V on
voltage calibrator and that in turn decreases voltage
on INB+ test point as there is a short in between
INA+, INB+, as discussed in step 4. Now verify that
OUTA and OUTB are now at logic-low (0V).

interrupt on the comparator output when the battery voltage
is out of the predetermined range set by user.
For example, in a single-cell Li-Ion battery, 3.6V is a
nominal voltage range, with 2.9V being typical end-of-line
discharge state and 4.2V being the maximum charge voltage.
It is useful to track whether a Li-Ion battery voltage is
within 2.9V to 4.2V range during operation. When the battery
voltage falls out of this voltage range, a comparator in this
application circuit will raise an interrupt on the output to
alert the user.
Since the MAX9018 has an open-drain output structure,
we can wire AND by shorting both of the outputs together
and use a pullup resistor to supply voltage.
To configure the EV kit in the window detector application,
install jumper J2 and the appropriate resistors on the R3,
R2, and R6 pads. Resistors R3, R2, and R6 pads are
available for setting the overvoltage and undervoltage-
threshold levels. In this single-cell, Li-Ion application, by
appropriately choosing these resistors, OUTA provides an
active-low, undervoltage indication (≤2.9V), while OUTB
provides an active-low, overvoltage indication (≥4.2V).
ANDing the two open-drain outputs provides an active-
high, power-good signal when battery voltage is within
the 2.9V to 4.2V range. For the detailed design procedure
involved in calculating R3, R2, and R6, refer to the
MAX9017 IC data sheet.
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX9017A EV kit by default comes with MAX9017A
IC, which is dual comparator with internal voltage reference
and push-pull output in 8-SOT23 package. The EV kit
operates from a single 1.8V to 5.5V DC power supply. The
EV kit is meant to work with split supplies as well where
the voltage between V
DD
and V
SS
is ±0.9V to ±2.75V.
Default Application Circuit
The EV kit comes preconfigured using a single supply
configuration on generic dual comparator configuration.
These EV kits allow users to add external hysteresis in
addition to the 4mV internal hysteresis through the addition
of appropriate resistors on the R1 and R3 pads provided
on the EV board for CHA. The amount of hysteresis
added is given by the equation below, based on R1, R3
values:

Similarly, Hysteresis to CHB is added by appropriately
choosing R4, R5 resistors.
Other Application Circuit
This EV kit can be used in window-detector applications,
while the MAX9018 is being evaluated on this kit.
A window detector application is useful in cases when a
battery voltage needs to be monitored and thrown in an
