Product details
Overview
MAX17597EVKIT# from Maxim Integrated is a fully assembled and tested evaluation kit designed to validate the MAX17597 peak-current-mode boost controller in a step-up configuration delivering 24V at up to 1A from an 8V–14V input, operating at 600kHz with up to 95.6% efficiency.
For engineers reviewing the MAX17597EVKIT# datasheet, MAX17597EVKIT# pinout, MAX17597EVKIT# application, or MAX17597EVKIT# equivalent, this kit enables rapid validation of high-efficiency boost converter designs, soft-start timing, current-limit threshold setting, UVLO/OVI thresholds, and frequency dithering implementation using the MAX17597ATE+ controller in 16-pin TQFN-EP package.
Technical Context
The MAX17597EVKIT# implements a fixed-output 24V boost converter using the MAX17597ATE+, a peak-current-mode PWM controller in 16-pin TQFN-EP package. It operates across 8V–14V input, delivers 24W output power, and uses external MOSFET (SiR836DP), Schottky diode (SSB44), and 6.8µH inductor (MSS1246-682ML).
Key design elements include resistor-programmable 600kHz switching frequency (R10), 5.6ms soft-start (C3), 4.46A peak inductor current limit (R9||R12), and UVLO/OVI thresholds set at 7.5V/15V (R5–R7). Slope compensation supports stable operation up to 68% duty cycle.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 8V to 14V DC - supports automotive battery and industrial 12V rail inputs without pre-regulation |
| Output Voltage | 24V ±1% - fixed regulation for industrial sensors, actuators, or LED drivers |
| Maximum Output Current | 1A continuous - verified load capability with thermal margin on PCB |
| Switching Frequency | 600kHz - set by R10 (10kΩ); enables compact magnetics and EMI filtering |
| Peak Efficiency | 95.6% - measured at mid-load under nominal input conditions |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the MAX17597EVKIT#?
The MAX17597EVKIT# is a fully assembled evaluation platform that demonstrates and validates the MAX17597 peak-current-mode boost controller in a 24V/1A step-up configuration. It enables engineers to verify performance metrics-including efficiency, transient response, soft-start behavior, and protection features-under real-world 8V–14V input conditions before committing to custom PCB design.
Does the MAX17597EVKIT# require external components to operate?
No, the MAX17597EVKIT# is fully assembled and tested with all critical components installed, including the MAX17597ATE+ controller, SiR836DP MOSFET, SSB44 Schottky diode, MSS1246-682ML inductor, and supporting passives. Only an 8V–14V/3.5A DC power supply and voltmeter are needed to verify VOUT = 24V across the input range.
How is the switching frequency set on the MAX17597EVKIT#?
The MAX17597EVKIT# uses resistor R10 (10kΩ) to configure the MAX17597ATE+ switching frequency to 600kHz, per the device's fSW = 10¹⁰/R10 equation. This value is validated in the schematic and layout; changing R10 allows adjustment between 100kHz and 1MHz while maintaining stability within the controller's operational limits.
Can the MAX17597EVKIT# be used to evaluate overvoltage and undervoltage protection?
Yes, the MAX17597EVKIT# implements programmable UVLO and OVI using resistors R5–R7, setting startup at 7.5V (typ) and overvoltage trip at 15V (typ). EN/UVLO and OVI test points are provided on the PCB, enabling direct oscilloscope monitoring of threshold activation and hysteresis behavior during input ramp tests.
Is frequency dithering enabled by default on the MAX17597EVKIT#?
No, frequency dithering is disabled by default on the MAX17597EVKIT#: the DITHER/SYNC pin is shorted to SGND via a PCB trace. To enable ±10% dithering, users must cut this trace and install resistor R11 (value determined by %DITHER = R10/R11), while configuring C12 for ~1kHz dither frequency per the published equation.
