The MAX1531 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount circuit board that provides logic and bias power required for liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors. The EV kit contains a step-down switching regulator, a logic-supply linear regulator, a source-driver-supply linear regulator, a gamma-reference linear regulator, a two-stage positive charge pump and linear regulator for the TFT gate-on supply, and a one-stage negative charge pump and linear regulator for the TFT gate-off supply. The source-driver supply, the gamma-reference supply, the gate-on supply, and the gate-off supply can be sequenced in any power-up order. The EV kit also includes a MAX1522 step-up switching regulator to provide a higher output voltage option for the source-driver supply and the gamma reference.
