Evaluates: MAX16029/MAX16030/MAX16043
MAX16029 Evaluation Kit
2 _______________________________________________________________________________________
Quick Start
Required Equipment
• Five power supplies: 5V, 3.3V, 2.5V, 1.8V, and 1.5V
• An oscilloscope
Procedure
The MAX16029 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on the power supplies until all
connections are completed.
1) Connect a 5V power supply to VCC and GND, con-
nect 3.3V to IN1, connect 2.5V to IN2, connect 1.8V
to IN3, and connect 1.5V to IN4.
2) Ensure that jumper J1 is open and jumpers J2, J3,
and J4 are in the 2-3 position. Jumpers J5–J8 and
J13 must be closed and J9–J12 must be in the 1-2
position.
3) Connect an oscilloscope to OUT1 and RESET.
4) Turn on the 5V supply, and observe that OUT1 and
RESET are low.
5) Turn on the 3.3V supply, and observe that although
OUT1 is high, RESET is still low.
6) Turn on the remaining supplies, observing that after
the last supply voltage exceeds its threshold,
RESET goes high.
7) Press the MR button and observe RESET.
Detailed Description
The MAX16029 and the MAX16030/MAX16043 (that
can also be evaluated on this EV kit) operate from 2.2V
to 28V. They monitor up to four voltages and provide
individual outputs (OUT1–OUT4) that indicate if the cor-
responding input is above or below its threshold.
Additionally, each channel has a specific capacitor-set
timeout delay.
Additional features include a RESET output that goes
high once all outputs are high and has its own capaci-
tor-set delay. A MR input (controlled by the pushbutton)
allows an operator to initiate a device reset, or is con-
trolled by external logic.
Monitoring Inputs
Each channel monitors a voltage and controls the cor-
responding output according to whether it is above or
below a specific threshold voltage. The threshold is
either adjustable or fixed, depending on the settings of
J3 and J4 (see Table 2). The voltage tolerance of 10%
or 5% is set using J2. To support adjustable threshold
inputs, the EV kit provides space for resistor-dividers
(R1–R8). To calculate the resistor values that obtain a
specific threshold, use the following formula:
where VTH is the adjustable threshold voltage.
Outputs
If a voltage present on an input goes above that input’s
threshold, the corresponding output asserts after a
capacitor-set (C2–C5) time delay. Set the capacitor
value according to the following equation:
where tDELAY is in seconds and CCDLY is in farads. The
MAX16030 provides push-pull outputs, while the
MAX16029 and MAX16043 provide open-drain outputs.
The EV kit pullup resistors (R10–R13) may be enabled
using J5–J8 if the MAX16029 or the MAX16043 is the
part being evaluated.
RESET
Output
The RESET output is the result of an AND operation on
the four outputs. Once all four outputs go high, RESET
deasserts high after a capacitor-set or fixed timeout
delay set by C6 or J1. If J1 is closed, the timeout delay
is 200ms. If J1 is open, the timeout delay is set by
capacitor C6 to 22ms. If desired, the capacitor can be
replaced. The value of the timeout is calculated using
the following formula:
where tRP is in seconds and CCRESET is in farads.
RESET asserts low if MR is pulled low. The EV kit pro-
vides pushbutton S1 that pulls MR low to evaluate this
feature.
The MAX16029 uses an open-drain RESET output, so
jumper J13 must be closed to connect pullup resistor
R9. If the EV kit is used to evaluate the MAX16030 or
MAX16043, open jumper J13, as these parts both have
a push-pull RESET output.
