Quick Start
Required Equipment
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• -12V to -4V, 500mA DC power supply
• +6V to +20V, 250mA DC power supply
• +12V to +38V, 1A DC power supply
• Two voltmeters
Procedure
The MAX17108 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) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1-2 of
jumper JU1 (GON2 = GON1).
2) Verify that shunts are installed across jumpers
JU2–JU11 (RC loads connected at scan driver out-
puts).
3) Verify that shunts are installed across pins 2-3 of
jumpers JU12–JU21 (DC voltage applied at
inputs).
4) Verify that all positions of the SW1 DIP switch are
in the on position (logic-high DC voltage at inputs).
5) Connect a voltmeter to the LDO_OUT and GND
test points.
6) Connect a voltmeter to the VCOM and GND PCB
pads.
7) Connect the negative terminal of the negative
power supply to the GOFF PCB pad. Connect the
ground terminal of the negative power supply to
the PGND pad.
