Detailed Description of Hardware Evaluating Other Switching Frequencies (FREQ) The switching frequency in fixed-frequency PWM operation is resistor-programmable from 50kHz to.mhz. Set the switching frequency of the IC with a resistor (R FREQ ) from FREQ to GND. R FREQ is calculated as: RFREQ = 5 6. 005. μs k f s Ω where f S is the desired switching frequency in megahertz. Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO) The UVLO circuitry inhibits switching when V IN or V VDL is below 4.4V (V IN, V VDL rising) or V VL is below.v (V VL rising). Once these voltages are above the thresholds, UVLO clears and the soft-start function activates. A 00mV hysteresis is built in for glitch immunity. Power Good (PWRGD) PWRGD is an open-drain output that goes high impedance once the soft-start ramp has concluded, provided V FB and V REFIN are above 0.54V. PWRGD pulls low when V FB falls below 0.54V for at least 50µs or V REFIN is less than 0.54V. PWRGD is low during shutdown. SYNC and SYNCOUT The MAX8654 features a SYNC function that allows the switching frequency to be synchronized to any external clock frequency that is higher than the internal clock frequency. Drive SYNC with a square wave at the desired synchronization frequency. A rising edge on SYNC triggers the internal SYNC circuitry. Connect SYNC to GND to disable the function and operate with the internal oscillator. The SYNCOUT output generates a clock signal that is 80 out-of-phase with its internal oscillator, or the signal applied to SYNC. This allows for another MAX8654 to be synchronized 80 out-ofphase to reduce the input ripple current. Soft-Start and REFIN The MAX8654 utilizes an adjustable soft-start function to limit inrush current during startup. An 8µA (typ) current source charges an external capacitor (C) connected to SS to increase the capacitor voltage in a controlled manner. The soft-start time is adjusted by the value of the external capacitor from SS to GND. The required capacitance value is determined as: A t C = 8μ ss 06. V where t SS is the required soft-start time in seconds. The MAX8654 also features an external reference input (REFIN). The IC regulates FB to the voltage applied to REFIN. The internal soft-start is not available when using an external reference. A method of soft-start when using an external reference is shown in the MAX8654 data sheet. Connect REFIN to SS to use the internal 0.6V reference (jumper JU). Jumper Settings Jumper JU Function Drive EN high by placing a shunt on JU to turn on the IC. To shut down the IC and reduce quiescent current to 0µA (typ), remove the shunt on JU. During shutdown, the outputs of the MAX8654 are high impedance. Jumper JU Function Place a shunt on jumper JU to connect SYNC to GND. Jumper JU Function Place a shunt on pins - of JU to connect the REFIN pin to the SS pin. When using an external reference, place a shunt on pins - of jumper JU. Evaluating the MAX8688 The MAX8688 is a fully digital power-supply manager that can be tested in conjunction with the MAX8654. Samples of the MAX8688 IC can be ordered from Maxim. To test the MAX8688, populate it with its circuitry, as shown by the schematic or in the component list. Also, place a shunt on pins - of JU. For further information, refer to the MAX8688 IC data sheet.
