General Description
The MAX1531 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount circuit board that provides
logic and bias power required for liquid crystal display
(LCD) monitors. The EV kit contains a step-down
switching regulator, a logic-supply linear regulator, a
source-driver-supply linear regulator, a gamma-refer-
ence linear regulator, a two-stage positive charge
pump and linear regulator for the TFT gate-on supply,
and a one-stage negative charge pump and linear reg-
ulator for the TFT gate-off supply. The source-driver
supply, the gamma-reference supply, the gate-on sup-
ply, and the gate-off supply can be sequenced in any
power-up order. The EV kit also includes a MAX1522
step-up switching regulator to provide a higher output
voltage option for the source-driver supply and the
gamma reference.
The EV kit produces the output voltages listed in the
features column using a +10.5V to +24V input voltage
range. The input range can be reduced to +9.5V if the
included MAX1522 step-up regulator circuit is used. If
lower output voltages are acceptable, the input range
can be further reduced to +8V.
The EV kit features undervoltage protection for the
input, overcurrent protection for the step-down switch-
ing regulator, and overload protection for the source-
drive linear regulator. Operation at 500kHz allows the
use of small surface-mount components. The EV kit
also evaluates the MAX1530.

Quick Start
The MAX1531 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow these steps to verify board operation. Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
The MAX1531 EV kit operates with up to +24V inputs.
However, due to external-component voltage stress limi-
tations, default jumper configurations must be modified
for operation above +13.2V. See the Positive Charge
Pump and Gate-On Linear Regulator Output Voltage
(GON) sections.
Recommended Equipment
+10.5V to +13.2V, 2A DC power supply
One voltmeter
1) Verify that a shunt is across pins 1 and 2 of jumpers
JU1, JU10, and JU12.
2) Verify that there are no shunts across jumpers JU2
and JU3.
3) Verify that a shunt is across pins 1 and 3 of jumpers
JU4, JU5, JU6, JU7, and JU8.
4) Verify that a shunt is across pins 1 and 5 of jumper
JU9.
5) Verify that a shunt is across pins 1 and 4 of jumper
JU11.
6) Verify that a shunt is across pins 2 and 3 of jumpers
JU13, JU14, JU15, and JU16.
7) Connect the positive terminal of the input power
supply to the PIN pad. Connect the negative termi-
nal of the input power supply to the PGND pad.
8) Turn on the power supply and verify that the step-
down regulator output (VOUT) is +3.3V.
9) Verify that the internal 5V linear regulator output
(VL) is +5V.
10) Verify that the logic-supply linear regulator output
(VLOG) is +2.5V.
11) Verify that the source-driver-supply linear regulator
output (VSRC) is +10V.
12) Verify that the gamma-reference linear regulator
output (VGAM) is +9.7V.
13) Verify that the gate-on linear regulator output (GON)
is +25V.
14) Verify that the gate-off linear regulator output
(GOFF) is -9V.
For instructions on selecting the feedback resistors for
other output voltages, see the Output Voltage Selection
section.
