The MAX16822B evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates
the MAX16822B hysteretic constant-current HBLED dri-
ver in an 8-pin SO package. The MAX16822B EV kit is
configured in a step-down topology with constant cur-
rent, driving a string of user-supplied external HBLEDs.
The MAX16822B EV kit operates from a DC supply volt-
age of 6V to 65V and requires up to 500mA. The
MAX16822B IC’s UVLO is configured from 6V to 6.5V
internally.
The EV kit circuit is configured to deliver 350mA of cur-
rent into a series HBLED string with a maximum 64V
forward voltage. The average series inductor current is
set to 333mA (typ) by resistor R1. The MAX16822B
thermal foldback feature can be evaluated by connect-
ing a negative temperature coefficient (NTC) thermistor
to the TEMP_I and PGND PCB pads on the EV kit.
Alternatively, a temperature-varying thermistor circuit
can be simulated using potentiometer R2 and resistor
R3. The EV kit also features a DIM PCB pad to evaluate
digital PWM dimming operation of the external HBLEDs.
The MAX16822B EV kit PCB has been designed for
maximum thermal dissipation when evaluating the
MAX16832 IC. The PCB has thermal vias under U1 and
additional thermal vias adjacent to U1’s copper pad.
These vias carry additional heat to the bottom layer
ground plane for maximum thermal conductivity.
However, these vias are not a PCB layout requirement
for the MAX16822 design.
The MAX16822B EV kit features several jumpers to
reconfigure the PWM and linear dimming, thermal
foldback feature, and for reconfiguring the external
HBLED current.
