MAX1132 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
2 _______________________________________________________________________________________
MAX1132 Stand-Alone EV Kit
The MAX1132EVKIT provides a proven PCB layout to
facilitate evaluation of the MAX1132. It must be inter-
faced to appropriate timing signals for proper opera-
tion. Connect +5V to AV
DD
and connect ground return
to AGND (Figure 1). Refer to the MAX1132 data sheet
for timing requirements.
MAX1132 EV System
The MAX1132EVC16 EV system operates from a user-
supplied +7VDC to +20VDC power supply. Windows
98/2000/XP-compatible software running PC interfaces
to the EV system board through the computer’s serial
communications port (virtual COM port). See the Quick
Start section for setup and operating instructions.
Quick Start
Recommended Equipment—USB Port PC
Connection Option
Before you begin, the following equipment is needed:
• MAX1132EVC16 (contains MAX1132 EV kit board,
68HC16MODULE-DIP, and USBTO232)
• Small DC power supply, such as a 12VDC, 0.25A
plug-in transformer, or a +9V battery
• PC-compatible computer running Windows 2000/XP
with an available USB port to connect to the
USBTO232 board
• USB cable included with the USBTO232
Procedure
Caution: Do not turn on the power until all the con-
nections are completed.
1) Visit the Maxim website (www.maxim-ic.com) to
download the latest version of the USBTO232 User
Guide. Follow the steps in the USBTO232 User
Guide Quick Start section and return to step 2 of
this Quick Start section when finished.
2) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the 40-pin
connector of the MAX1132 EV kit with the 40-pin
connector of the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module.
Gently press them together. The two boards should
be flush against one another.
3) Check the jumper settings (Table 1).
4) Connect a +7VDC to +20VDC power source to the
µC module at the terminal block located next to the
ON/OFF switch, along the top edge of the µC mod-
ule. Observe the polarity marked on the board.
5) Connect the USBTO232 board to the 68HC16MOD-
ULE-DIP module if you have not done so already.
6) The MAX1132 EV kit software should have already
been downloaded and installed in the USBTO232
Quick Start.
7) Start the MAX1132 program by opening its icon in
the Start | Programs menu.
8) Turn on the power supply and slide SW1 to the ON
position on the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module.
Press the OK button to automatically connect and
download the KIT1132.C16 file to the module.
9) Apply the input signal across the pins of JU2.
Observe the readout on the screen.
Recommended Equipment—RS-232/COM
Port PC Connection Option
Before you begin, the following equipment is needed:
• MAX1132EVC16 (contains MAX1132EVKIT board
and 68HC16MODULE-DIP)
• Small DC power supply, such as a 12VDC, 0.25A
plug-in transformer, or a +9V battery
• PC-compatible computer running Windows
98/2000/XP with an available serial communications
port, preferably a 9-pin plug
• Serial cable to connect the computer’s serial port to
the 68HC16MODULE-DIP
Procedure
Caution: Do not turn on the power until all the con-
nections are completed.
1) Visit the Maxim website (www.maxim-ic.com/evkit-
software) to download the latest version of the EV kit
software. Save the EV kit software to a temporary
folder and uncompress the file (if it is a .zip file).
2) Install the MAX1132 EV kit software on your com-
puter by running the INSTALL.EXE program. The
program files are copied and icons are created for
them in the Windows Start | Programs
menu.
3) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the 40-pin
connector of the MAX1132 EV kit with the 40-pin
connector of the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module.
Gently press them together. The two boards should
be flush against one another.
4) Check the jumper settings (Table 1).
5) Connect a +7VDC to +20VDC power source to the
68HC16MODULE-DIP module at the terminal block
J2 located next to the ON/OFF switch. Observe the
polarity marked on the board.
6) Connect a cable from the computer’s serial port to
the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module. If using a 9-pin
serial port, use a straight-through, 9-pin female-to-
