__________________________Quick Start
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
•
•
•
The MAX15003 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount board. Follow the steps below to verify
board operation. Caution: Do not turn on the power
supply until all connections are completed.
1) Verify that a shunt is across pins 1-2 of jumper JU1
2) Verify that a shunt is across pins 2-3 of jumper JU2
3) Connect a voltmeter across the VOUT1 and PGND
4) Connect a voltmeter across the VOUT2 and PGND
5) Connect a voltmeter across the VOUT3 and PGND
6) Connect the 4-channel oscilloscope probes to the
7) Set the adjustable power supply to 12V and disable
8) Connect the positive terminal of the power supply

The MAX15003 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount PCB that demonstrates the MAX15003
IC, which integrates three high-performance PWM
switching step-down DC-DC controllers. Additionally,
the MAX15003 IC can be enabled in tracking or
sequence modes and can operate in phase or 120°
out-of-phase. The EV kit circuit operates over the
input-voltage range of 6V to 14V. The outputs are con-
figured for 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.2V, providing up to 3A,
4A, and 10A, respectively. The MAX15003 switching
frequency of 600kHz is programmed with resistor R40.
The frequency can be programmed from 200kHz to
2.2MHz by replacing this resistor, or can be synchro-
nized to an external clock signal through the SYNC
input pad. The MAX15003 EV kit PCB is designed with
4-layer and 2oz copper for optimum performance.
The phase and tracking/sequencing operation modes
are selectable through jumpers JU1 and JU2.
Coincident tracking, ratiometric tracking, or sequencing
options enable tailoring of the power-up/power-down
sequence depending on the application requirements.
PGOOD1, PGOOD2, PGOOD3, and RESET logic signal
output pads are provided for circuit monitoring.
