Procedure
The MAX11600­–MAX11617 EV system is fully assembled
and tested. Follow the steps below to verify board opera-
tion. Caution: Do not turn on the power supply until
all connections are completed.
1) Visit www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware to down-
load the latest version of the EV system software,
11600-11617Rxx.ZIP. Save the EV system software
to a temporary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.
2) Install the EV system software on your computer
by running the INSTALL.EXE program inside the
temporary folder. The program files are copied and
icons are created in the Windows Start | Programs
menu.
3) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the EV kit
daughter board’s 20-pin connector with the 20-pin
header of the MAX116XX I2C master board. Gently
press them together.
4) Verify that all jumpers are in their default positions
for the master board (Table 1) and the appropriate
jumper table for the selected EV kit daughter board
(Tables 2, 3, and 4).
5) Connect the positive terminal of the +5.5V power
supply to the DVDD banana connector on the
master board. Connect the negative terminal of the
same power supply to the DGND banana connector
on the master board.
6) Connect the positive terminal of the signal genera-
tor to the AIN0 connector on the EV kit daughter
board. Connect the negative terminal of the sig-
nal generator to the GND connector on the EV kit
daughter board.
7) Turn on the +5.5V power supply.
8) Set the signal source to generate a 1kHz, 1VP-P
sinusoidal wave with +2V offset.
9) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the master
board. A New Hardware Found window pops up
when installing the USB driver for the first time.
If a window is not seen that is similar to the one
described above after 30s, remove the USB cable
from the board and reconnect it. Administrator privi-
leges are required to install the USB device driver
on Windows.
10) Follow the directions of the Found New Hardware
window to install the USB device driver. Manually
specify the location of the device driver to
be C:\Program Files\MAX11600-MAX11617
(default installation directory) using the Browse
button. During device driver installation, Windows
may show a warning message indicating that
the device driver Maxim uses does not contain a
digital signature. This is not an error condition and
it is safe to proceed with installation. Refer to the
USB_Driver_Help.PDF document included with the
software for additional information.
11) Start the MAX11600–MAX11617 EV system soft-
ware by opening its icon in the Start | Programs
menu. The EV system software device-selection
window appears, as shown in Figure 1. Select the
appropriate device from the Select the ADC device
drop-down list. The EV system software main win-
dow appears, as shown in Figure 2.
12) Select 1024 from the Number of Samples drop-
down list in the Data Logging group box.
13) Enter 94.44 into the Sample Rate (ksps) edit box to
set the maximum sampling rate.
14) Check the Remove DC checkbox to remove the DC
component of the sampled data.
15) Press the Start Conversion button.
16) Verify Frequency of approximately 1.00kHz, RMS
value of 0.353V, MIN value of -0.50V, MAX value of
+0.50V, and Avg DC value of 0V are displayed in
the Calculation group box.
