MAX8596Z Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX8596Z evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit board that evaluates the MAX8596Z white LED step-up DC-DC converter. The circuit operates from 2.6V to 5.5V and delivers an adjustable 0 to 25mA to drive up to 8 white LEDs in series. The MAX8596Z EV kit comes configured for driving 6 white surface-mount LEDs; however, it can support up to 8 white LEDs. A 9th LED pad is provided to evaluate the MAX8595X/MAX8596X*. The EV kit features the MAX8596Z's temperature derating function, but can be used to evaluate the MAX8595Z without this feature. Either IC provides the flexibility of controlling LED brightness through an external analog or a PWM dimming signal.

Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
* 2.6V to 5.5V, 500mA power supply The MAX8596Z 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. 1) 2) 3) Verify that a shunt is installed across the pins of jumper JU1. Preset the power supply to 3.6V and disable the output. Connect the positive terminal of the power supply to the VIN PC board pad. Connect the ground of the power supply to the GND PC board pad. Enable the power-supply output and verify that all the LEDs are lit. recommended derating curves of popular white LEDs. The MAX8596Z internal MOSFET is locked out from switching when the output voltage exceeds 34V, thus providing overvoltage protection.
Controlling LED Intensity
The white LED intensity can be controlled using the CTRL input PC board pad on the EV kit. CTRL can be used either as an analog or a digital input. When using CTRL as an analog input, connect a 0.24V to 1.72V power supply to CTRL, where 0.24V corresponds to the dimmest LED setting and 1.72V corresponds to full brightness. Connecting CTRL to ground places the MAX8596Z in shutdown mode. A digital PWM signal (200Hz to 200kHz) can also be connected directly to CTRL. In this case, the duty cycle controls the brightness of the LEDs, where 0% corresponds to zero LED current (and shutdown mode) and 100% is full brightness. The recommended PWM signal has a logic-low level of 0V and a logic-high level of 1.72V to 5.5V. Pullup resistor R2 and jumper JU1 are provided so the EV kit can be used without a connection to CTRL. With a shunt installed on jumper JU1 and no other connection to CTRL, the LEDs are set to full brightness. If CTRL is being driven, the shunt across jumper JU1 can be removed. See Table 1 for jumper JU1 configuration. Remove the shunt across jumper JU1 when measuring quiescent current with the circuit in shutdown mode.

Detailed Description
The MAX8596Z EV kit is a step-up DC-DC converter circuit optimized for driving 2 to 8 white LEDs in series. The MAX8596Z EV kit circuit can be powered by a 2.6V to 5.5V power supply. The MAX8596Z IC regulates output current rather than the output voltage. The EV kit is configured to support 25mA of load current through the series LED array. The MAX8596Z features a temperature derating function that automatically limits the LED current at high temperatures in accordance with the

Soft-Start
The MAX8596Z EV kit provides soft-start for the white LEDs during turn ON. Capacitor C3 acts as a compensating capacitor to stabilize the MAX8596Z converter and controls the soft-start.

Table 1. Jumper JU1 Function
SHUNT LOCATION Installed CTRL PIN CONNECTIONS Connected to VIN through resistor R2. Connect an external analog signal or a 200Hz to 200kHz PWM signal to the CTRL PC board pad. EV KIT LED FUNCTION White LEDs illuminate with maximum brightness.
Changing the Number of LEDs
The MAX8596Z can be used to drive 2 to 8 LEDs. The MAX8596Z EV kit comes configured for driving 6 white LEDs. To evaluate the EV kit with more LEDs, cut open the PC trace short across jumper JU2 and install extra surface-mount white LEDs on the PC board pads provided for D2, D3, and D4. Install a 0 resistor in place of any unused LED pads.
Not Installed
LED brightness is controlled by the CTRL input.
Evaluating the MAX8595Z
The MAX8596Z EV kit can also evaluate the MAX8595Z white LED step-up converter IC. The MAX8596Z IC must be removed and replaced with the MAX8595Z IC. Refer to the MAX8595Z/MAX8596Z IC data sheet for detailed information about these parts.
