The MAX19710–MAX19713 evaluation systems (EV
systems) consist of MAX19710–MAX19713 evaluation
kits (EV kits), a companion Maxim command module
(CMODUSB) interface board, and software. Order the
complete EV system (see the Ordering Information in the full data sheet) for comprehensive evaluation of the MAX19710–MAX19713
using a personal computer. Order the EV kit if the
command module has already been purchased with a
previous Maxim EV system, or for custom use in other
microcontroller-based (µC) systems.
The MAX19710–MAX19713 EV kits are fully assembled
and tested PCBs that contain all the components
necessary to evaluate the performance of the
MAX19710–MAX19713 analog front-ends (AFEs).
These AFEs integrate a dual-receive analog-to-digital
converter (Rx ADC), a dual-transmit digital-to-analog
converter (Tx DAC), a 1.024V internal voltage reference,
three low-speed serial DACs, and one low-speed
serial ADC. The EV kit boards accept AC- or DC-coupled,
differential or single-ended analog inputs for
the Rx ADC and include circuitry that converts the Tx
DAC differential output signals to single-ended
analog outputs. The EV kits include circuitry that
generates a clock signal from an AC sine-wave input
signal. The EV kits operate from a +3.0V analog power
supply, a +1.8V digital power supply, a +3.0V clock
power supply, and ±5V bipolar power supplies.
The Maxim command module interface board
(CMODUSB) allows a PC to use its USB port to emulate
an SPI™ 3-wire interface. Windows® 98SE/2000/XP-compatible
software, which can be downloaded from
www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware, provides a user-friendly interface to exercise the features of the
MAX19710–MAX19713. The program is menu driven
and offers a graphical user interface (GUI) with control
buttons and a status display.
