MAX1748 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX1748 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount circuit board that contains a
boost switching regulator and two charge-pump volt-
age-regulator circuits. The boost switching circuit is
configured for a +10V output that provides up to 200mA
of current from a supply voltage of +2.7V to +5.5V.
The positive charge-pump circuit is configured for a
+15V output that provides >20mA of current. The nega-
tive charge-pump circuit is configured for a -5V output
and provides >20mA of current. Power for either or
both charge-pump inputs can be provided from the
+2.7VDC to +5.5VDC source or from the boost switch-
ing-regulator output.
The MAX1748 EV kit demonstrates low-quiescent cur-
rent and high efficiency (over 86%) for maximum bat-
tery life. Operation at 1MHz allows the use of tiny sur-
face-mount components. The MAX1748 TSSOP pack-
age (1.1mm max) with low-profile external components
allows this circuit to be less than 1.2mm high. The
MAX1748 EV kit can also be used to evaluate the
MAX1779 IC.

Note:
Please indicate that you are using the MAX1748/MAX1779
when contacting these component suppliers.
Quick Start
The MAX1748 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Perform the following steps to verify board operation for
a +10V output.
Do not turn on the power supply until
all connections are completed:
1) Connect a +2.7VDC to +5.5VDC power supply to
the PIN pad. Connect the supply ground to the
GND pad.
2) Connect a voltmeter to the V1 pad.
3) Verify that shunts JU1 (SHDN) are across pins
1 and 2 and that shunts JU4 (SUPP) and JU5
(SUPN) are across pins 2 and 3.
4) Turn on the power supply and verify that the main
output (V1) is +10V.
5) Verify that the negative charge-pump regulator out-
put (VN) is -5V.
6) Verify that the positive charge-pump regulator out-
put (VP) is +15V.
For instructions on selecting the feedback resistors for
other output voltages, see the
Output Voltage Selection
section. The input voltage range is +2.7V to +5.5V
when selecting the output voltage.
The boost switching-regulator output voltage can be
adjusted from +2.7V to +13V with resistors. The positive
charge-pump regulator’s output can be adjusted up to
+25V, and the negative regulator can be adjusted to
-15V with resistors.
The MAX1748 EV kit charge-pump circuits feature PC
board pads for a positive voltage tripling and negative
voltage doubling output circuits. The MAX1748 EV kit
can evaluate the MAX1779 IC after replacing several
components. See the
Evaluating the MAX1779
section.
Jumper Selection
Shutdown Mode
The MAX1748 EV kit features a shutdown mode that
reduces the MAX1748 quiescent current, preserving
battery life. The 3-pin jumper (JU1) selects the shut-
down mode for the MAX1748. Table 1 lists the selec-
table jumper options.
Positive Charge-Pump Regulator Feedback
In the MAX1748 EV kit, jumper JU2 selects which posi-
tive charge pump will be regulated: VP, a voltage dou-
bler, or VPA, a voltage tripler. Table 2 lists the positive
charge-pump regulator jumper options.
Negative Charge-Pump Regulator Feedback
In the MAX1748 EV kit, jumper JU3 selects which nega-
tive charge pump will be regulated: VN or VNA, a volt-
age doubler. Table 3 lists the negative regulator jumper
options.
Positive Voltage Source
The MAX1748 EV kit features an option to choose which
voltage source feeds the positive charge-pump regula-
tor circuit. Jumper JU4 selects the input voltage source
for the MAX1748’s SUPP pin. Table 4 lists the options.
Detailed Description
The MAX1748 EV kit contains a boost switching regula-
tor and two regulating charge pumps. The EV kit oper-
ates from a +2.7V to +5.5V input voltage range. The
boost switching regulator provides up to 200mA with a
+10V output.
The positive charge-pump regulator generates a +15V
output and can provide >20mA of current. The negative
charge-pump regulator generates -5V output and can
provide >20mA of current. Jumper options allow either
charge pump to be fed power from PIN or V1.

Positive Tripler Charge-Pump
Output Voltages
The MAX1748 EV kit features a positive charge-pump
voltage tripler circuit. Three components (C10, C11, D4)
must be installed and jumper JU2 modified to utilize the
tripler circuit. Capacitors C10 and C11 should be 0.1µF
(Taiyo Yuden, UMK212BJ104MG recommended) with a
voltage rating equal to or greater than the expected out-
put voltage at VPA. Lower cost diodes with higher for-
ward voltage drops can be used for D4, if enough volt-
age headroom is available. The shorted PC trace across
pinholes 1 and 2 must be cut open and a jumper wire
installed in pinholes 2 and 3 at jumper JU2.
Note:
VPA
will now be the regulated output.
To generate a different voltage, select proper voltage-
divider resistors (R3, R4) while taking into consideration
input voltages and jumper settings. Refer to the
Output
Voltage Selection
section in the MAX1748 data sheet for
instructions on selecting the resistors. See Table 4 for
jumper selection of input voltage ranges.

Negative Charge-Pump Output Voltages
Negative Voltage Source
The MAX1748 EV kit features an option to choose which
voltage source feeds the negative charge-pump regula-
tor circuit. Jumper JU5 selects the input voltage source
for the MAX1748’s SUPN pin. Table 5 lists the options.
The MAX1748 EV kit’s negative charge-pump regulator
output is set to -5V by feedback resistors (R5, R6). To
generate different voltages, select different external volt-
age-divider resistors (R5, R6) while taking into consider-
ation input voltages and jumper settings. Refer to the
Output Voltage Selection
section in the MAX1748 data
sheet for instructions on selecting the resistors. See
Table 5 for the jumper selection of input voltage ranges.
Output Voltage Selection
Boost Switching-Regulator
Output Voltages
The MAX1748 EV kit’s boost switching-regulator output
is set to +10V by feedback resistors (R1, R2). To gener-
ate output voltages other than +10V (+2.7V to +13V),
select different external voltage-divider resistors (R1,
R2). The ceramic capacitors (C17, C18, C20) are rated
to +10V. To set the voltage >+10V, use higher-voltage-
rated capacitors. Refer to the
Output Voltage Selection
section in the MAX1748 data sheet for instructions on
selecting the resistors. The input voltage range will be
+2.7V to V
PIN
when selecting other output voltages.
Negative Doubler Charge-Pump
Output Voltages
The MAX1748 EV kit features a negative charge-pump
voltage doubler circuit. Three components (C12, C13,
D5) must be installed and jumper JU3 modified to utilize
the doubler circuit. Capacitors C12 and C13 should be
0.1µF (Taiyo Yuden UMK212BJ104MG recommended)
with a voltage rating equal to or greater than the expect-
ed output voltage at VNA. Lower cost diodes with higher
forward voltage drops can be used for D5 if enough volt-
age headroom is available. The shorted PC trace across
pinholes 1 and 2 must be cut open and a jumper wire
installed in pinholes 2 and 3 at jumper JU3.
To generate a different negative output voltage, select
different external voltage-divider resistors (R5, R6) while
taking into consideration input voltages and jumper set-
tings. Refer to the
Output Voltage Selection
section in
the MAX1748 data sheet for instructions on selecting the

Positive Charge-Pump Output Voltages
The MAX1748 EV kit’s positive charge-pump regulator
output is set to +15V by feedback resistors (R3, R4). To
generate output voltages other than +15V, select differ-
ent external voltage-divider resistors (R3, R4). Refer to

MAX1779 Reconfiguration
The MAX1748 EV kit can be reconfigured to evaluate
the MAX1779EUE. Replace the components listed in
Table 6. The boost switching regulator output (V1)
+5.1V and provides up to 50mA to 100mA of current,
depending on the inductor value and output capaci-
tance chosen. The positive and negative charge-pump
outputs provide +9V (VP) and -4V (VN) at their outputs.
