Detailed Description of Software
Graphical User Interface (GUI) Panel
The MAX5387 EV kit software GUI shown in Figure 1 is
a Windows program that provides a convenient means
to control two MAX5387 dual potentiometers. Use the
mouse or press the Tab key to navigate through the GUI
controls. The correct SMBusK/I2C write operations are
generated to update the MAX5387 internal memory registers when any of these controls are executed.
The EV kit software features window tabs to select and
control two MAX5387 (U1_MAX5387, U2_MAX5387)
dual on-board digital potentiometers and two unpopulated MAX5392 (U3_MAX5392, U4_MAX5392) digital
potentiometers. Status indicators (Status1 and Devices
Found) are available to indicate that the EV kit is operational and to display the total number of valid MAX5387
and MAX5392 devices populated on the EV kit. The
DEVICES group box indicates components U1–U4 current ID address and the last write operation Command
Sent and Data Sent indicators.
Additional software features can be evaluated by using
the pulldown menu bar. The software has a demo mode
that is available by selecting the Options | Demo Mode
menu item. When in demo mode, all software communication to the EV kit hardware is disabled and most of the
software’s GUI is functional. This feature enables a user
to evaluate the software without hardware connectivity.
By default, the EV kit software configures the MINIQUSB+
interface board’s 2-wire communication speed to 400kHz.
The speed can be reduced to 100kHz, if required, by
selecting the Options | 2-Wire Speed | 100kHz menu
item. This configuration could be required if slower
2-wire devices are connected to the EV kit’s SCL and
SDA J1 header.

Figure 1. MAX5387 Evaluation Kit Software Main Window
Software Startup
Upon startup, the EV kit software automatically searches
for the USB interface board’s circuit connection. The EV
kit software automatically detects the U1 set 0x50 ID
address and the U2 fixed 0x52 ID address and places
each address in the U1_MAX5387 and U2_MAX5387
Device Address combo boxes, respectively. Upon
detecting the U2 fixed 0x52 address, the U2_MAX5387
Device Address combo box is disabled. The EV kit
software continuously polls to find valid addresses. The
U2_MAX5387 Device Address combo box is enabled if
address 0x52 is not detected. If U3 and U4 are populated, the user can then navigate to the U3_MAX5392 and
U4_MAX5392 tab sheets and choose the ID address
according to jumpers JU15, JU16, and JU17 shunt positions and the U4 fixed 0x5A ID address.
Demo Mode
The EV kit software enters the demo mode—when
the USB connection is not detected, or when no valid
MAX5387 ID addresses are found—by selecting Cancel
on the MAX5387 Evaluation Kit pop-up windows
(Figures 2 and 3). The software can also enter demo
mode at any time from the main window by selecting the
Options | Demo Mode menu item. Demo mode allows
the user to evaluate the software without hardware connectivity. To exit demo mode, deselect the Options |
Demo Mode menu item.
Potentiometer Tab Sheet Controls
The tab sheets for U1_MAX5387 and U2_MAX5387 are
used for controlling two MAX5387 ICs. The tab sheets for
U3_MAX5392 and U4_MAX5392 are used for controlling
two unpopulated MAX5392 ICs. Each tab sheet contains a

Device Address combo box to select a valid address and a
status indicator to indicate which device is connected. An
Update Pot A and B checkbox is available for updating
both potentiometers A and B simultaneously. A Default
button resets the respective IC’s potentiometer A and B
wiper positions to the factory-default midscale position.
Device Address
Each tab sheet contains a Device Address combo
box and a U_ Status indicator. The U1_MAX5387 and
U3_MAX5392 Device Address combo boxes store up
to eight device addresses found by the EV kit software.
The eight possible addresses are shown in Table 4. Use
the Device Address combo box to select between different devices that share the same bus. Before selecting
U1 and U3 addresses, verify jumpers JU7, JU8, JU9
(U1) and JU15, JU16, and JU17 (U3) settings and then
select the correct addresses using the U1_MAX5387 and
U3_MAX5392 tab sheets’ Device Address combo boxes.
U2_MAX5387 and U4_MAX5392 Device Address combo
boxes store addresses 0x52 and 0x5A, respectively.
The U_ Status indicator displays Device Connected when
the selected address is found or No Connection when the
selected address is not found. When selecting an address
currently in use, the Device Address combo box is set to
?? and the U_ Status indicator displays No Connection.
Factory Default
Pressing the Default button resets potentiometer A and B
wiper positions to the factory-default midscale position.
Potentiometer A and B Wiper Positions
The wiper position track bars (WA and WB) in the
Potentiometer A and Potentiometer B group boxes are
used to change the wiper position between the H_ and L_
end points. Use the computer mouse or arrow keys to move
the wiper position between the 256 position points. The
wiper position can also be changed by entering the desired
integer value in the edit boxes, or by pressing the up or
down arrows in the respective edit box. A change in the W_
wiper position track bars, or HW_/WL_ edit boxes, writes to
the volatile memory and the wiper position is updated with
the data sent. The wiper position is shown in the HW_ and
WL_ edit boxes. The HW_ edit box shows the wiper position with respect to the H_ end point and the WL_ edit box
shows the wiper position with respect to the potentiometer
L_ end point.
Potentiometers A and B can be updated simultaneously
by checking the Update Pot A and B checkbox. When
enabled, the Potentiometer A group box sends the same
data to both digital potentiometers using the 0x13 command to control both digital potentiometers together.
Command Sent Indicator
The U_ Command Sent indicators in the DEVICES
group box display the last command sent from the
master (software) to the MAX5387. There are three
MAX5387 commands available in the MAX5387 IC.
Table 2 describes the three MAX5387 commands.

The MAX5387 IC uses an 8-bit (MSBs, D7–D0) data byte
to set the wiper position. Refer to the MAX5387 IC data
sheet for additional information.
Keyboard Navigation
Press the Tab key to select each GUI control. The selected control is indicated by a dotted outline. Using Shift +
Tab moves the selection to the previously selected control. Buttons respond to the keyboard’s space bar and
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 desired
menu item. Most menu items have one letter underlined,
indicating their shortcut key.
When a number is entered into the edit boxes, it can be
sent to the device by pressing the Enter key. It is also
sent when Tab or Shift + Tab is pressed.
Simple I2C Commands
There are two methods for communicating with the
MAX5387 EV kit, through the normal user-interface
panel (Figure 1) or through the I2C commands available
by using low-level SMBus commands, or by selecting the 2-Wire Interface (Figure 4) utility from the
Options | Advanced User Interface menu bar. A window is displayed that allows I2C operations, such as
SMBusReadByte and SMBusWriteByte. Do not use
the SMBusReadByte operation because the MAX5387
does not send data to the master.
Note: The I2C dialog boxes accept numeric data in
binary, decimal, or hexadecimal. Hexadecimal numbers
must be prefixed by $ or 0x. Binary numbers must be
exactly eight binary digits. See Figure 4 for an example
of this tool. In this example, the software is writing data
0xFF to the register address 0x13 to the device with
the device address 0x52. The data sequence sets the
MAX5387 (U2) wiper positions WA and WB to 255.
Refer to Application Note 476: Comparing the I2C Bus
to the SMBus available on the Maxim website for information and differences between the SMBus and I2C
protocols.
General Troubleshooting
Problem: Software reports it cannot find the interface
circuit.
• Is the USB cable connected to the MINIQUSB+
board?
• Has Windows plug-and-play detected the board?
Bring up Control Panel->System->Device Manager,
and look at what device nodes are indicated for USB.
If there is an Unknown device node attached to
the USB, uninstall it—this forces plug-and-play to try
again.
Problem: Software reports No Devices Found.
• Is a shunt installed at jumper JU1?
• Are the SCL and SDA signals pulled up to VPOWER
(resistors R6, R7, R9, and R10 installed)?
• If using an external power supply, is power applied
to the EV kit VDD and GND PCB pads?
• Are shunts installed at jumpers JU7, JU8, and JU9
(set device address)?
• If using an off-board I2C interface, is the power
ground connected to the EV kit ground (GND) at
one of the header J1 pin connections (J1-2, J1-4
or J1-6)?

MAX5387 Evaluation System
Figure 4. Simple Low-Level 2-Wire Interface
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX5387 EV kit is an assembled and tested
PCB that features two MAX5387L 10kI dual digital
potentiometers. The potentiometers have end-to-end
resistance of 10kI and each wiper can be programmed
independently among 256 tap positions. The EV kit
includes two MAX5387L ICs (U1, U2) in 14-pin TSSOP
packages on a proven two-layer PCB design.
The MAX5387 VDD inputs are powered from the VPOWER
rail and are set using jumper JU1. The EV kit provides
connector J1 to interface with the MAX5387 SDA, SCLK,
and GND signals directly to a user-supplied 2-wire system. Connector J1 also provides a connection for the EV
kit VPOWER rail.
The MAX5387 ICs can be powered from a 2.6V, 3.3V,
or 5V source generated from the MINIQUSB+ interface
board and EV kit circuitry (applied at the EV kit VPOWER
rail), or from a user-supplied external 2.6V to 5.25V DC
power supply applied at the VDD and GND PCB pads.
The EV kit is typically used with a MINIQUSB+ interface
board for communicating with a PC through the SMBus/
I2C serial interface. Logic-level translators U7 and U8
provide proper interface translation when using 2.6V to
5.5V to power the MAX5387 VDD inputs.
The EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX5387M
and MAX5387N. The EV kit contains PCB footprints for
two MAX5392 ICs, which allows the user to independently control up to eight potentiometers. To evaluate the
MAX5392, order samples and fit the parts in places U3
and/or U4. Refer to the MAX5392 EV system data sheet
for additional information.
MAX5387 (U1, U2) VDD Input Sources
The EV kit features jumper JU1 to select the source for
the VPOWER rail of the EV kit circuit. The VPOWER rail
is typically supplied as 3.3V or 5V by a MINIQUSB+
8 _______________________________________________________________________________________
MAX5387 Evaluation System
Alternatively, the EV kit VDD and GND PCB pads can
be used to supply an external 2.6V to 5.25V to the
circuit’s VPOWER rail, when evaluating the MAX5387,
by removing the shunt at jumper JU1. See Table 3 for
proper JU1 configuration for VPOWER when evaluating
the MAX5387.
Address Selection for the MAX5387 (U1)
The EV kit circuit feature three jumpers that pull the
MAX5387 (U1) A2, A1, and A0 address pins to VDD or
GND to set the MAX5387 slave address. See Table 4 for
jumpers JU7 (A2), JU8 (A1), and JU9 (A0) settings to set
the U1 slave address.
Note: The first 7 bits shown are the address. The Y bit
in Table 4 is the I2C read/write bit. The I2C protocol
states that this bit is a 1 for a read operation, or a 9 for
a write operation. The Y bit is always set to 0 (write only)
because these digital potentiometers do not transmit
data to the master device.
I2C Clock and Data Inputs
The MAX5387 features clock and data input pins for I2Ccompatible communication to control the MAX5387 wiper
position. The clock and data input pins can be driven by
the MINIQUSB+ interface circuit or the PCB header (J1),
along with a user-supplied external I2C-compatible controller. An external I2C-compatible controller can be connected to SDA (J1-3), SCL (J1-5), and GND (J1-2, J1-4,
J1-6) on header J1 to communicate with the MAX5387
IC. When using an external I2C-compatible controller,
verify that the MINIQUSB+ interface board has been
disconnected from the EV kit’s J2 and J3 headers. See
Table 5 for header J1 pin assignments.
The EV kit requires minor alterations when using an
external I2C-compatible controller connected at J1:
1) Disconnect the MINIQUSB+ interface board from the
EV kit.
2) Remove resistors R6 and R9, which are located at level
translators U7 and U8 IO inputs.
Potentiometer, Voltage-Divider or Variable Resistor,
with Ground Reference
The EV kit provides an option to configure the MAX5387
as a potentiometer or voltage-divider, open-ended or
with ground reference, respectively. Use jumpers JU3

5V, 3.3V, or 2.6V. LDO regulator U5 is provided to set the
MAX5392 (U3, U4) VDD inputs to 1.7V when evaluating
the MAX5392. Refer to the MAX5392 evaluation system
data sheet for additional information.

and JU4 for U1 potentiometer A and jumpers JU5 and
JU6 for U1 potentiometer B configurations. Tables 6
and 7 list the jumper options for configuring U1 potentiometers A and B. Use jumpers JU18 and JU19 for U2
potentiometer A and jumpers JU20 and JU21 for U2
potentiometer B configurations. Tables 8 and 9 list the
jumper options for configuring U2 potentiometers A and
B.
The MAX5387 IC can also be configured as a variable
resistor by shorting the H_ and W_ pads together using
a wire. When operating as a variable resistor, any power
source connected to the H_, W_, or L_ pad must be
voltage and current limited to the maximum conditions
stated in the MAX5387 IC data sheet.
Note: To test the device in resistor mode, the ohmmeter
must be GND referenced to the MAX5387. This can be
accomplished by connecting the L_ pin to GND or the H_
pin to the MAX5387’s VDD input. Resistance can then be
measured between W_ and L_ or W_ and H_ PCB pads.
Evaluating the MAX5387M, MAX5387N,
and MAX5392 ICs
The EV kit can also evaluate the MAX5387M and
MAX5387N. Remove either U1 and/or U2 and replace
them with the desired IC.
The EV kit is populated with additional PCB footprints
(U3, U4) and various jumpers to evaluate two MAX5392
ICs. See Table 10 for proper jumper configurations when
evaluating the MAX5392 IC. Also refer to the MAX5392
EV system data sheet for additional information.
