Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
Two 16.8VDC Li+ battery packs
One variable 16.8V, 1A current-limited DC source to
emulate a battery charger
One variable 20V, 10A DC source to emulate an AC
adapter
One 10A, 300W electronic load
Procedure
The MAX1538 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation. Do
not turn on the power supply until all connections
are completed:
1)
2)
3)
4)
Set the DC power supply (used to emulate the battery charger) to 16.8V.

Detailed Description
The MAX1538 EV kit circuit routes charge and discharge currents between two battery packs, a battery
charger, and an AC adapter or DC power source. The
circuit uses a MAX1538 in a 28-pin thin QFN package
to control eight steering P-channel MOSFET switches.
Monitor the MOSFET control signals at test-points
TP1TP8. A MAX1615 low-power linear regulator provides the circuit boards 3.3V power for logic ICs and
status LEDs. The EV kits AC-adapter input (ADPIN)
range is from 4.75VDC to 28VDC. Figure 1 depicts a
typical setup with batteries and battery charger connected to the EV kit.

Battery Relearning
The MAX1538 features battery relearning. Moving the
RELRN switch (SW2) to the up position, places the
MAX1538 into relearn mode. Moving the RELRN switch to
the down position, places the MAX1538 into normal mode.

To set the airline adapter trip threshold, apply the minimum airline adapter voltage to the ADPIN pad and
measure the voltage at TP12. Adjust potentiometer R3
until the TP12 voltage measures 2.0V.
To set the AC adapter trip threshold, apply the minimum AC adapter voltage to the ADPIN pad and measure the voltage at TP11. Adjust potentiometer R2 until
the TP11 voltage measures 2.0V.

The MAX1538 EV kit features LEDs that indicate the status of the MAX1538 output lines. A lit LED indicates an
output state of 1, while an unlit LED indicates an output
state of zero. Use Table 1 to decode the LED status.
