1 19-1; Rev 0; /00 MAX1 Evaluation Kit General Description The MAX1 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates a highpower, dynamically adjustable notebook CPU power-supply application circuit. The MAX1 DC-DC converter steps down high-voltage batteries and/or AC adapters, generating a precision, low-voltage CPU core V CC rail. The MAX1 EV kit is designed for CPU core applications requiring a voltage-positioned supply. Voltage positioning and a high-dc-accuracy control loop decrease full-load power dissipation and reduce the required number of output capacitors. This fully assembled and tested circuit board provides a digitally adjustable 0.6V to 1.V output voltage from a +V to +4V battery input range. It delivers up to 1A output current. The EV kit operates at 00kHz switching frequency and has superior line-and load-transient response. This EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX116 (0.9V to 1.6V output) and the MAX14 (0.9V to.0v output). Quick-PWM is a trademark of Maxim Integrated Products.

At lower output voltages, transient response degrades slightly and efficiency worsens. At V OUT = 1.6V, inductor ripple is approximately 0%, with a resulting pulse-skipping threshold at roughly I LOAD = A with V IN = 1V. Setting the Output Voltage The MAX1 uses an internal -bit DAC as a feedback resistor voltage divider. The output voltage can be digitally set from 0.6V to 1.V, using the D0 D4 inputs (Table 1). Load-Transient Experiment One interesting experiment is to subject the output to large, fast load transients and observe the output with

This necessitates careful instrumentation of the output, using the supplied scope-probe jack. Accurate measurement of output ripple and load-transient response invariably requires that ground clip leads be completely avoided and that the probe hat be removed to expose the GND shield, so the probe can be plugged directly into the jack. Otherwise, EMI and noise pickup will corrupt the waveforms. Most bench-top electronic loads intended for powersupply testing lack the ability to subject the DC-DC converter to ultra-fast load transients. Emulating the supply current di/dt at the CPU VCORE pins requires at

4 least 10A/µs load transients. One easy method for generating such an abusive load transient is to solder a MOSFET, such as an MTP0 or 1N0, directly across the scope-probe jack. Then drive its gate with a strong pulse generator at a low duty cycle (10%) to minimize heat stress in the MOSFET. Vary the high-level output voltage of the pulse generator to vary the load current. To determine the load current, you might expect to insert a meter in the load path, but this method is prohibited here by the need for low resistance and inductance in the path of the dummy-load MOSFET. There are two easy alternative methods of determining how much load current a particular pulse-generator amplitude is causing. The first and best is to observe the inductor current with a calibrated AC current probe, such as a Tektronix AM0. In the buck topology, the load current is equal to the average value of the inductor current. The second method is to first put on a static dummy load and measure the battery current. Then, connect the MOSFET dummy load at 100% duty momentarily, and adjust the gate-drive signal until the battery current rises to the appropriate level (the MOS- FET load must be well heatsinked for this to work without causing smoke and flames).

Output overvoltage due to shorted high-side MOSFET. Output overvoltage due to load recovery overshoot. Transient overload condition. Broken connection, bad MOSFET, or other catastrophic problem. VBATT power source has poor impedance characteristic. Instability due to low-esr ceramic or polymer capacitors placed across fast feedback path (FB-GND). Cycle SHDN Press the RESET button. Replace the MOSFET. Reduce the inductor value, raise the switching frequency, or add more output capacitance. Add more low-esr output capacitors. Troubleshoot the power stage. Are the DH and DL gate-drive signals present? Is the V V REF present? Add a bulk electrolytic bypass capacitor across the bench-top power supply or substitute a real battery. Add parasitic PC board trace resistance between the LX-FB connection and the ceramic capacitor. OR Substitute a different capacitor type (OS-C, tantalum, aluminum electrolytic, and polymer types work well). Excessive EMI, poor efficiency at high input voltages. Poor efficiency at high input voltages, N1/N4 get hot. Gate-drain capacitance of N/N is causing shoot-through cross-conduction. N1/N4 have excessive gate capacitance. Observe the gate-source voltage of N/N during the low-to-high LX node transition (this requires careful instrumentation). Is the gate voltage being pulled above 1.V, causing N/N to turn on? Use a smaller low-side MOSFET or add a BST resistor (R). Use a smaller high-side MOSFET or add more heatsinking.
