MAXIM MAX5489

19-0952; Rev 0; 8/07
MAX5488 Evaluation Kit
The MAX5488 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled
and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that demonstrates the functionality of the MAX5488 dual, 256-tap,
nonvolatile, SPI-interface, linear-taper digital potentiometer. Windows® 98SE/2000/XP-compatible software
provides a handy user interface to exercise the features
of the MAX5488.
The tiny 16-pin, 3mm x 3mm, thin QFN-packaged
device is socketed, allowing for easy evaluation of the
MAX5487 (10kΩ end-to-end resistance), MAX5488
(50kΩ end-to-end resistance), or MAX5489 (100kΩ
end-to-end resistance) ICs. To evaluate the MAX5487
or the MAX5489, request a free sample (ETE suffix)
along with the MAX5488 EV kit.

MAX5488 Evaluation Kit
Recommended Equipment
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• Maxim MAX5488 EV kit (includes USB type A-B
cable)
• Sample MAX5488ETE#G16 device (included with
MAX5488 EV kit)
• User-supplied Windows 98SE/2000/XP-compatible
PC with a spare USB port
• Administrator privileges may be required when first
installing the device on Windows 2000/XP
• Two ohmmeters
• Tweezers to move the MAX5488 sample into its socket
Note: In the following sections, software-related items
are identified by bolding. Text in bold refers to items
directly from the EV Kit software. Text in bold and
underlined refers to items from the Windows
98SE/2000/XP operating system.
Procedure
The MAX5488 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation.
Caution: Do not turn on the power until all connections are completed.
1) Visit www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware to download
the latest version of the EV kit software,
5488Rxx.ZIP. Save the EV kit software to a temporary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.
2) Install the EV kit software on your computer by
launching the 5488Rxx.MSI program inside the zip
file. The program files are copied and icons are created in the Windows Start | Programs menu.

3) Ensure that the MAX5488 EV kit board’s jumper settings are correct (see Table 1 for jumper settings).
4) Unlatch the socket and use tweezers to install one
of the MAX5488 devices, exposed pad down. Note
the location of pin 1 in the upper-right corner, as
indicated on the PCB silkscreen. On the device, the
pin 1 index is marked with a molded or marked feature, typically # or + for RoHS-compliant devices.
After ensuring that the device is properly seated,
latch the socket lid securely closed.
5) Connect one of the ohmmeters across the WA and
LA terminals.
6) Connect the other ohmmeter across the WB and LB
terminals.
7) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the
MINIQUSB board. A Building Driver Database window pops up in addition to a New Hardware Found
message when installing the USB driver for the first
time. If you do not see a window that is similar to the
one described above after 30s, remove the USB
cable from the board and reconnect it. Administrator
privileges are required to install the USB device driver on Windows 2000 and XP. Refer to Application
Note 3601: Troubleshooting Windows Plug-and-Play
and USB for Maxim Evaluation Kits if you have any
problems during this step.
8) Follow the directions of the Add New Hardware
Wizard to install the USB device driver. Choose the
Search for the best driver for your device option.
Specify the location of the device driver to be
C:\Program Files\Maxim MAX5488EVKIT (default
installation directory) using the Browse button.
During device driver installation, Windows XP
shows a warning message indicating that the
device driver Maxim uses does not contain a digital
signature. This is not an error condition. It is safe to
proceed with the installation.
9) Start the EV kit software by clicking its icon in the
Windows Start menu.
10) The software automatically searches for the
MAX5488. After successful connection, the EV kit
firmware banner appears in the lower-left corner of
the window. Move the Channel A or Channel B
slider and click the Write button to set the wiper
position, as shown in Figure 1.

Detailed Description of Software
The MAX5488 EV kit software graphical user interface
(GUI) is a Windows program that provides a convenient
means to control the MAX5488 (Figure 1).
In the Channel B group box, set the tap value (either by
typing the decimal tap number into one of the edit boxes
or by moving the slider), and then click the Write button.
As confirmation, the Command History window shows
SPI sequence 0x02 nn, where nn = the hexadecimal
W-L tap value.

Factory Reset
Clicking the Factory Reset button returns wiper A and
wiper B (and the nonvolatile memory) to the factoryprogrammed midscale tap position.
Wipers A and B Position
In the Channel A group box, set the tap value (either by
typing the decimal tap number into one of the edit boxes
or by moving the slider), and then click the Write button.
As confirmation, the Command History window shows
SPI sequence 0x01 nn, where nn = the hexadecimal
W-L tap value.

Nonvolatile Programming
In the Channel A group box, set the tap value (either by
typing the decimal tap number into one of the edit boxes
or by moving the slider), and then click the Write NV
button. As confirmation, the Command History window
shows SPI sequence 0x11 nn, where nn = the hexadecimal W-L tap value.
In the Channel B group box, set the tap value (either by
typing the decimal tap number into one of the edit boxes
or by moving the slider), and then click the Write NV
button. As confirmation, the Command History window
shows SPI sequence 0x12 nn, where nn = the hexadecimal W-L tap value.

key to move the keyboard’s focus from one control to
the next. The focused control is indicated by a dotted
outline. SHIFT+TAB moves the focus to the previously
focused control. Buttons respond to the keyboard’s
SPACE bar. Some controls respond to the keyboard’s
UP and DOWN arrow keys. Activate the program’s
menu bar by pressing the F10 key, and then press the
letter of the menu item you want. Most menu items have
one letter underlined, indicating their shortcut key.
Detailed Description of Hardware
Evaluating the MAX5487 or MAX5489
The MAX5487 and MAX5489 are similar to the
MAX5488, but with a different end-to-end resistance.
To evaluate the MAX5487 or MAX5489, order a free
sample of the MAX5487ETE#G16 (refer to the
MAX5487/MAX5488/MAX5489 IC data sheet).
External User-Supplied SPI Interface
In the Channel B group box, copy the active tap value
to nonvolatile memory by clicking the Load NV ➔
active button. As confirmation, the Command History
window shows SPI sequence 0x32.
To copy both of the active tap values to nonvolatile
memory, click the Copy Both NV Registers to Wiper
Registers button. As confirmation, the Command
History window shows SPI sequence 0x33.
The EV kit may be modified for use with an external,
user-supplied SPI interface. First, with power off and
USB disconnected, flip the board over and cut the
traces that are on the back of the board, underneath
location J2. Install a standard dual-row header, and
connect a ribbon cable to the user-supplied SPI.
Keyboard Navigation
The EV kit may be used with an external, user-supplied
2.7V to 5.25V power supply. First, with power off and USB
disconnected, move the JU1 shunt between pins 2-3.
When you type on the keyboard, the system must know
which control should receive the keys. Press the TAB
