Product details
Overview
MAX17291CEVKIT# from Analog Devices is a fully assembled evaluation kit designed to validate the MAX17291C high-voltage micropower boost DC-DC converter in wafer-level package (WLP). It supports 1.8V–4.5V input, delivers resistor-configurable 5.5V–20V output (default 12V), and demonstrates TrueShutdown™, short-circuit protection, and ≤80mA peak inductor current limit in a proven 2-layer PCB layout.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17291CEVKIT# datasheet, MAX17291CEVKIT# pinout, MAX17291CEVKIT# application, or MAX17291CEVKIT# equivalent, this kit enables rapid functional validation of the MAX17291C IC's boost regulation, low-quiescent-current operation, and compact WLP integration in battery-powered and space-constrained systems.
Technical Context
The MAX17291CEVKIT# implements the MAX17291CANT+ IC in a 6-bump WLP (0.4mm pitch) on a 2-layer, 1.5oz copper PCB with optimized thermal and EMI layout. It includes configurable feedback resistors (R1 = 3.48MΩ, R2 = 402kΩ), a 10µH power inductor (L1), input/output banana jacks, test points (EN, TP2–TP4), and jumper JU1 for enable/disable control.
Hardware features include a 150µF aluminum electrolytic output capacitor (C6), dual 10µF ceramic input capacitors (C1, C8), and 4.7µF ceramic bypass capacitors (C2, C5). The board ships preconfigured for 12V output and requires no soldering-fully assembled and tested per Rev 0 (October 2023).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Evaluated IC | MAX17291CANT+, wafer-level package (WLP6), 6-bump, 0.4mm pitch |
| Input Voltage Range | 1.8V to 4.5V - supports single-cell Li-ion, Li-polymer, or alkaline battery sources |
| Output Voltage Range | 5.5V to 20V, resistor-configurable - default set to 12V via R1/R2 feedback network |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MAX17291CEVKIT#?
The MAX17291CEVKIT# is an evaluation platform for the MAX17291C boost converter IC. It enables engineers to verify the IC's performance-including 1.8V–4.5V input operation, resistor-configurable 5.5V–20V output, TrueShutdown™ behavior, and short-circuit protection-on a pre-assembled, production-ready PCB layout without design iteration.
Does the MAX17291CEVKIT# require external programming or firmware?
No. The MAX17291CEVKIT# is a hardware-only evaluation board. The MAX17291C is an analog DC-DC controller with no digital interface or programmability; all functionality-including output voltage setting and enable control-is implemented via passive components (resistors, jumpers) and direct pin connections on the board.
What output voltage is preconfigured on the MAX17291CEVKIT#?
The MAX17291CEVKIT# ships configured for 12V output using R1 = 3.48MΩ and R2 = 402kΩ in the feedback divider network. Output voltage can be reconfigured between 5.5V and 20V by replacing these resistors per the MAX17291C datasheet's VOUT calculation formula.
How is enable/disable control implemented on the MAX17291CEVKIT#?
Enable/disable is controlled via jumper JU1: shorting pins 1–2 connects EN to IN (enabled), while shorting pins 2–3 ties EN to GND (disabled). This matches the MAX17291C's active-high enable logic and allows safe power sequencing verification without modifying the board.
Can the MAX17291CEVKIT# operate from a 3.3V input source?
Yes. The MAX17291CEVKIT# supports input voltages from 1.8V to 4.5V, making 3.3V fully within specification. At 3.3V input and 12V output, the MAX17291C maintains regulation with typical efficiency >80% under light-to-moderate loads, as verified in the EV kit's characterization data.
