MAX15031EVKIT+ Datasheet MAX15031EVKIT+ | P1-P3

General Description

The MAX15031 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the

MAX15031 APD biasing pulse-width modulation (PWM)

step-up DC-DC converter with an internal power switch,

current monitor, and adjustable current limiting. The

step-up converter switches at 400kHz. The EV kit oper-

ates from a DC supply voltage of 2.9V to 5.5V and is

configured to deliver approximately 70V and 0 to 4mA

of current at the output. The output voltage can be con-

figured from VIN + 1V to 76V by replacing a resistor or

adjusting the CNTRL voltage. The EV kit demonstrates

the MAX15031 APD fast current-limit, undervoltage

lockout (UVLO), and thermal shutdown features.

The actual converter circuit’s PCB footprint is 8mm x

18mm as required in BPON (broadband passive optical

network) and GPON (gigabit passive optical network)

applications and demonstrates the MAX15031’s small,

16-pin TQFN package with exposed pad. The EV kit

also features an APD input load simulator circuit for cur-

rent monitoring and step-response measurements.

WARNING: Voltages exceeding 42V may exist on

the VOUT, APD, MOUT, and PGND PCB pads.

Quick Start

Required Equipment

Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:

• MAX15031 EV kit

• 2.9V to 5.5V, 1A DC power supply

• 0 to 5mA adjustable load rated for at least 76V

• Digital multimeter (DMM)

WARNING: Voltages exceeding 42V may exist on

the VOUT, APD, MOUT, and PGND PCB pads.

Procedure

The MAX15031 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.

Follow the steps below to verify board operation.

Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until all

connections are completed.

1) Verify that a shunt is installed on jumper JU1 (70V

output).

2) Verify that a shunt is installed on pins 1-2 of jumper

JU2 (enabled).

3) Connect the adjustable load to the APD and the

SGND pads.

4) Connect the power supply to the VIN pad and the

power-supply ground to the PGND pad.

5) Connect the DMM across the APD and SGND PCB

pads.

6) Turn on the power supply and set it to 3.3V.

7) Verify that the DMM reads approximately 70V.

Detailed Description of Hardware

The MAX15031 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the

MAX15031 in a small, 16-pin TQFN package with

internal power switch, current monitor, and adjustable

current-limiting circuit features. The circuit’s PWM

step-up DC-DC converter is designed for APD bias-

ing, switches at 400kHz, and is configured to deliver

approximately 70V and 0 to 4mA of current to the APD

output. The output voltage can be reconfigured from

VIN + 1V to 76V by replacing resistor R1 or adjusting

the CNTRL voltage. The EV kit demonstrates the

MAX15031’s APD fast current-limit, undervoltage lock-

out (UVLO), and thermal shutdown features.

The converter circuit’s PCB footprint is 8mm x 18mm.

The EV kit operates from a DC supply voltage of 2.9V to

5.5V and provides up to 4mA at the APD output.

The EV kit’s APD load simulator circuit is used for cur-

rent monitoring and step-response measurements. The

circuit is comprised of MOSFET N1, resistors R7, R8,

R9, and test points TP1, TP2, and TP3 (SGND). Test

point TP4 provides access to the MAX15031 BIAS

signal. Voltages exceeding 42V may exist on TP4.

Additionally, bulk capacitor C9 is provided in case long

connecting cables are used to power the EV kit during

lab evaluation. Capacitor C9 is not required in a typical

design.

SHDN

and Enable

The MAX15031 EV kit features a jumper to enable and

disable U1. Jumper JU2 will disable the EV kit when the

shunt is installed on pins 2-3. Installing the shunt on

pins 1-2 enables the EV kit. Refer to the

Shutdown

(SHDN)

section in the MAX15031 IC data sheet for

information. See Table 1 for jumper JU2 settings.

Output-Voltage Programmability

The MAX15031 EV kit features a jumper to set the

VOUT/APD voltage programmability. The output voltage

(VOUT/APD) is programmed by connecting an external

reference voltage source to the CNTRL and SGND PCB

pads. Remove the shunt at jumper JU1 to use the pro-

grammability feature and apply a reference voltage

< 1.25V to the CNTRL pad. When the voltage applied to

the CNTRL pad is > 1.5V, the MAX15031 internal refer-

ence is used. See Table 2 for jumper JU1 settings.

The output voltage at VOUT is set by resistors R1 and

R2 to 70V when jumper JU1 is installed. To reconfigure

the output for a different voltage (VIN + 1V to 76V),

select a new surface-mount 0603 resistor for R1. Refer

to the

Setting the Output Voltage

section in the

MAX15031 IC data sheet for selecting the R1 value.

Current-Monitor Output (MOUT)

and APD Load Simulator

The MOUT PCB pad provides a current-monitor output

that sources a current 1/10th the APD current. An RC

network comprised of resistor R3 and capacitor C7

provide a filter to the MOUT signal. Capacitor C7 is not

required in a typical design.

Additionally, resistors R8 and R9 set the APD load simu-

lator circuit’s current for current-monitor step-response

measurements. Apply a 0 to 11V square-wave signal to

the APD_DRV pad to simulate a 0 to 4mA load. Use test

points TP1 or TP2 to measure the APD load current and

TP3 as the SGND. Refer to the

Monitor Current Limit

(RLIM)

section in the MAX15031 IC data sheet for addi-

tional information on the MOUT features.

Clamp Input (CLAMP)

The CLAMP input PCB pad is used for voltage clamp-

ing the MOUT pin. Capacitor C6 provides filtering to

the clamp voltage signal. The MAX15031 EV kit is

capable of clamping MOUT voltages between 0.6V to

76V (typ). To clamp MOUT in the range of 0.6V to 4.3V,

apply a voltage between 0 and 3.7V (typ) to the

CLAMP and SGND PCB pads. Refer to the

Clamping

the Monitor Output Voltage (CLAMP)

section in the

MAX15031 IC data sheet for additional information on

the CLAMP features.

Fast Current-Limit Threshold

and

ILIM

Output

Resistor R5 sets the MAX15031 APD fast current-limit

threshold to 4.3mA. To reconfigure the circuit for anoth-

er current-limit threshold, replace resistor R5 and use

the following equation to calculate a new value for the

desired current:

where I

LIMIT

is the desired DC load current in mil-

liamps.

The ILIM open-drain signal is available at the ILIM PCB

pad. Resistor R6 pulls up the ILIM pin to VIN; when low,

the MAX15031 is in current limit. To interface with a

microcontroller, connect to the ILIM PCB and SGND

pads. Refer to the

Monitor Current Limit (RLIM)

section in

the MAX15031 IC data sheet for additional information

on the ILIM feature.
