Evaluate: MAX6652/MAX6683
General Description
The MAX6683 evaluation system (EV system) consists
of a MAX6683 evaluation kit (EV kit) and a companion
Maxim system management bus (SMBus)™ interface
board (MAXSMBUS).
The MAX6683 EV kit is an assembled and tested PC
board that demonstrates the MAX6683 temperature
sensor and system monitor. The MAX6683 monitors
temperature, supply voltage, and the voltage of three
external supplies. Temperature is converted to 11-bit
serial data and voltage to 8-bit data.
The MAXSMBUS allows an IBM-compatible PC to use
its parallel port to emulate an Intel (SMBus). Windows®
95/98/2000-compatible software provides a user-friendly interface to exercise the features of the MAX6683.
The program is menu driven and offers a graphic interface with control buttons and status display.
Note: Windows 2000 requires the installation of a driver; refer to Win2000.pdf or Win2000.txt located on the
diskette.

Quick Start
Required Equipment
Before you begin, the following equipment is needed:
• A computer running Windows 95, 98, or 2000
Note: Windows 2000 requires the installation of a
driver; refer to Win2000.pdf or Win2000.txt located on
the diskette.
• A parallel printer port (this is a 25-pin socket on the
back of the computer)
• A standard 25-pin, straight-through, male-to-female
cable (printer extension cable) to connect the computer’s parallel port to the Maxim SMBus interface
board
• DC power supply capable of supplying any voltage
between 7V and 20V at 100mA
• 3.3V power supply for VCC
from the floppy or hard drive. Use the Windows program manager to run the program. You may use the
INSTALL.EXE program to copy the files and create
icons for them in the Windows 95/98/2000 Start
menu. An uninstall program is included with the
software. Click on the UNINSTALL icon to remove
the EV kit software from the hard drive.
Do not turn on the power until all connections
are made.
6) Connect the 3.3V power supply to the VCC and
GND pads.
7) Connect the 1.8V nominal power supply to the 1.8V
and GND pads.
8) Connect the 2.5V nominal power supply to the 2.5
and GND pads.
9) Connect the 5V nominal power supply to the 5 and
GND pads.
• 2.5V power supply*
10) Connect the 7V to 20V power supply to the pads
labeled POS9 and GND1 on the SMBus interface
board.
• 5V power supply*
11) Turn on the power supplies.
• 1.8V power supply*
Procedure
1) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the 20-pin
connector of the MAX6683 EV kit with the 20-pin
header of the MAXSMBUS interface board. Gently
press them together.
2) Make sure switch SW1 on the MAX6683 EV kit is in
the OFF position.
3) Make sure JU3 is set to the 1-2 position.
4) Connect a straight-through 25-pin female-to-male
cable from the computer’s parallel port to the
SMBus interface board. To avoid damaging the EV
kit or your computer, do not use a 25-pin SCSI port
or any other connector that is physically similar to
the 25-pin parallel printer port.
12) Turn on the EV kit by moving SW1 to the ON position.
13) Start the MAX6683 program by opening its icon in
the Start menu.
14) Wait until the program automatically detects the
address of the MAX6683 and displays the userinterface panel (Figure 1).
15) Select the Configuration tab on the panel.
16) Uncheck the Interrupt Clear checkbox.
17) Check the START checkbox.
18) Verify that the temperature displayed on the userinterface panel is not 0.000°C.

*These supplies are optional; however, if different nominal supplies are used, appropriate threshold values
should be programmed.

Simple SMBus Commands
There are two methods for communicating with the
MAX6683: through the normal user-interface panel or
through the SMBus commands available from pressing
the MAXSMBUS button. A display appears that allows
the SMBus protocols, such as Read Byte and Write
Byte, to be executed. To stop normal user-interface
execution so that it does not override the manually set
values, turn off the update timer that slaves the program to the conversion rate by unchecking the
Automatic Read checkbox.
The SMBus dialog boxes accept numeric data in binary, decimal, or hexadecimal. Hexadecimal numbers
should be prefixed by $ or 0x. Binary numbers must be
exactly eight digits.
Note: In places where the slave address asks for an 8bit value, it must be the 7-bit slave address of the
MAX6683 as determined by the address pin (ADD) with
the last bit set to 1 for a read operation and 0 for a
write.
Data Logging
Check the Data Logging checkbox to activate data
logging. Data logging saves temperature, voltage, and
status data to a text file that includes a time/date stamp
next to each data point. If Automatic Read is enabled,
data is sampled at 2Hz; however, the data is logged to
the file only if the temperature, voltage, or status
change. This slows the growth of the data-logging file.
When Automatic Read is disabled, the data is logged
each time the Read All button is clicked. To stop data
logging, uncheck the Data Logging checkbox.
Jumper and Switch Settings
Jumper 1 (JU1) sets the MAX6683 slave address. The
default address is 0010 101 (ADD = VCC); see Table 1
for a complete list of addresses. The slide switch, SW1,
provides a means to force a reset. This switch disables
power to the device.

Note: The first 7 bits shown are the address. Y (bit 0) is the
SMBus read/write bit. This bit is a 1 for a read operation and
zero for a write.
Evaluating the MAX6652
The MAX6683 EV kit can also evaluate the MAX6652.
Remove the MAX6683 from the board and install the
MAX6652.
The MAX6652 and MAX6683 monitor different voltages.
See Table 2.
When evaluating the MAX6652 with the MAX6683 software, the voltages displayed for the supply voltage (VCC),
the 1.8V nominal voltage, and the 5V nominal voltage are
incorrect. However, the ADC output code, shown in
parentheses next to the voltage, is correct. Use the equations shown below to calculate the actual voltages:

them, the correct SMBus write operation is generated
to update the registers.
Note: Words in boldface are user-selectable features in
the software.
The program monitors for an alert interrupt and continually polls the device for new temperature, voltage, and
status data. To disable the continuous polling of data,
uncheck the Automatic Read checkbox. To change
the temperature or voltage threshold comparison registers, select the appropriate data field and type in the
new value. Pressing Enter, after typing in the new values, updates the internal registers.
The message ALERT appears whenever an interrupt
condition occurs. To clear the interrupt, first eliminate
the condition that caused it and then click on Read
Status.
