Quick Start
Required Equipment
4) Connect the oscilloscope probe to the CHG test point.
The CHG test point is the output of the boost regula-
tor. Set the time division to 200ms and the voltage
division to 1V.

5) Under ambient light, the battery charges with a small
current. The oscilloscope displays voltage pulses
from the boost regulator. The boost output pulses
because of the solar cells’ limited current.
Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
6) Increase the ambient light source on the solar cells and
observe the increase in frequency of pulses at the CHG
test point.
1) Verify that two shunts are installed on jumper JU1
(pins 1-2 and 3-4). Solar cells SOLAR1, SOLAR2,
and SOLAR3 are connected in parallel as the power
source.
7) To turn on the internal regulator and enable the bat-
tery pack output, press the S1 button.
2) Install a shunt in the 2-3 position on jumper JU2 to
connect the IC to the on-board MEC through a 10I
resistor. Important: The MEC (BATT) must always
be connected before the solar cell or damage could
result. Always connect JU2 first and disconnect JU2
last.
8) Install shunts on jumpers JU5 and JU6. LED D5
pulses with the voltage pulses at the CHG test point.
D5 is a visual indication of the boost output.
9) To measure the MEC charging current, observe the
voltage across resistor R6. A precision voltmeter is
needed. The charging current can be as low as 1FA and
the voltmeter needs the precision to be able to pulse-
average over several seconds of data. An average volt-
age of 10FV indicates a 1FA average charging current.
3) Install a shunt on jumper JU3 to connect the on-
board solar cells as the power source. The solar cell
voltage can be monitored on the SOLAR+ test point.
If verification with an external energy-harvesting
source is required, remove the shunt from JU3 and
apply the external power source to the SOLAR+ test

Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX17710 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
PCB that contains all the components necessary to
evaluate the MAX17710 energy-harvesting charger and
protector. The IC is available in a 12-pin UTDFN package
with an exposed pad. The EV kit circuit uses an efficient
boost controller to regulate and charge the on-board
THINERGY MEC (BATT). The EV kit has three on-board
solar cells that are connected in parallel. On-board
jumpers and test points allow external power sources to
power the IC. The IC has low reverse leakage to prevent
discharge of the on-board energy cell. Ambient light can
charge the on-board MEC with current as low as 1FA

point. External loads connected directly from the MEC
can cause irreversible damage to the MEC if the voltage
goes too low.
LED Indicator On Pack Power
The D5 LED is connected through a digital FET at the
PCKP test point. The LED blinks as pulses are generated
at the CHG test point. The LED is a visual display that the
boost regulator is operating.
Charger
The CHG test point monitors the CHG pin. The CHG test
point is connected to the output of the boost regulator
and the CHG pin is the input to the battery charger. The
IC charges the MEC based off the voltage on the CHG
test point. The power sources to the CHG test point can
come from solenoid, piezo, mechanical, or RF sources,
and must exceed the MEC voltage. When CHG exceeds
the MEC voltage by 50mV, the IC uses the CHG supply
to charge the on-board MEC. The IC is designed to use
input supplies from energy-harvesting sources, which
are highly variable, poorly regulated, and usually power-
limited. Apply the variable input supply source to the
AC+ and AC- test points. The power source is rectified
and supplied to the CHG test point through the full-wave
bridge diode (D2).
Logic Inputs
The EV kit provides various pushbutton switches and test
points to evaluate the device. There are two regulators
internal to the IC, which are available through AE and
LCE. AE controls the default regulator and LCE controls
the low-current regulator.
Regulator Output Enable (AE)
The IC features a default regulator that can be enabled
by the AE signal. Press the S1 switch to connect PCKP
and enable the default regulator. Press the S2 switch
to disconnect PCKP and disable the default regulator
output. The output voltage is selected by jumper JU4
(see Table 3). If the MEC voltage drops below 2.15V,
the AE and PCKP outputs are disabled until a charger
is applied.
Low-Current Mode Enable (LCE)
The IC features a low-current regulator that reduces
the quiescent current by a factor of 5. The low-current
regulator can be enabled by the LCE and AE signals.
To enter the low-current mode, first turn on the default
regulator by pressing S1, then press S3 to enable the
low-current regulator, and finally turn off the default regu-
lator by pressing S2. Afterwards, press S4 to disable the
low-current regulator. If low-current mode is enabled,
pressing S1 enables the default regulator, but pressing
S2 switches back to the low-current regulator if originally
enabled. If the MEC voltage drops below 3V, the AE and
PCKP outputs are disabled until a charger is applied.
Regulator Output Voltage (SEL1)
Table 3 shows the regulator output options. SEL1 is con-
nected to jumper JU4. The regulator output is locked
when the regulator is active. To change the regulator
output voltage, first change the setting on jumper JU4 to
obtain the desired output voltage (Table 3), then press
S2 and S4 to disable both the default and low-current
regulators. Lastly, press S1 to enable the default regula-
tor and optionally S3 to enable the low-current regulator.
The regulator output voltage can be monitored on the
REG test point and outputs the new voltage.
Internal Boost
For power sources that are lower than the battery
voltage, such as solar or the above-mentioned sources,
the IC features a boost converter to step up the voltage to
charge the on-board MEC. The output of the boost is the
CHG test point. The IC uses the voltage on the CHG test
point to charge the MEC. An additional power source can
be present on CHG through the AC+ and AC- test points
while the boost is active.
Figure 1 shows the CHG test-point voltage observed on an
oscilloscope with ambient light using the on-board
solar cells as the power source. The number of pulses
increase as the EV kit is brought closer to the light source
and decrease when taken away from the light source.
Power Sources
The on-board power source is a parallel connection of
three solar cells. The voltage can be monitored on the
SOLAR+ and GND test points. The start-up voltage for
the IC boost is approximately 750mV at the FB pin. To
supply an external power source, remove the shunt from
jumper JU3 and apply the power source to the SOLAR+
and GND test points.
On-Board Micro-Energy Cell (BATT)
The EV kit features the THINERGY micro-energy cell
(MEC) from IPS as the on-board energy storage cell.
The MEC101 included on the EV kit is roughly the size of
a postage stamp and is soldered directly to the board.
The BATT footprint can also accommodate the MEC201.
Caution: The MEC case is conductive. To protect the
MEC, do not touch the MEC with conductive material.
MEC Pack Power
The IC has a regulator output and battery pack output
(PCKP) to provide power to external loads. The IC PCKP
test point provides the MEC voltage to external loads
while the REG test point provides a regulated voltage
(Table 3). External unregulated loads from the MEC
should always be connected through the PCKP test
