_________________________ Quick Start

The MAX606 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) Connect a +3V to +5V power supply to the pad

marked VIN. The ground connects to the GND pad.

2) Connect a voltmeter and load (if any) to the VOUT

pad.

3) Make sure that JU1 is shunted.

4) Turn on the power and verify that the output voltage

is +5V.

5) Refer to the

Other Output Voltages section to modify

the board for different output voltages.

Evaluating the MAX607

To evaluate the MAX607, turn off the power to the EV

kit. Replace L1 with a 10µH inductor and replace the

MAX606 with a MAX607EUA. No other hardware

changes are necessary. A good candidate for a 10µH

inductor is a Sumida CLS62-100, which fits the same

footprint as the CLS62B-5R0. Note that the CLS62-100

has a maximum current rating of 700mA, rather than 1A

for the CLS62B-5R0.

________________ General Description

The MAX606 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a regulated

+5V output voltage at up to 200mA while operating

from a +3V to +5V input voltage. The MAX606 operates

at frequencies up to 1MHz, allowing the use of small

external components.

The MAX606 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested, sur-

face-mount printed circuit board. It comes with the out-

put voltage set to +5V, but can also be used to evalu-

The MAX606 EV kit can also be used to evaluate the

MAX607, which operates at 500kHz. Simply order a free

sample of the MAX607EUA along with the MAX606 EV kit.

*

This capacitor is used to reduce ringing caused by lead induc-

tance of the external power supplies. It is typically not needed in

the production circuit (refer to the MAX606 data sheet for more

information).
