Evaluates: MAX1236 General Description The MAX1236 evaluation kit (EV kit) is designed to evaluate the MAX1236. The MAX1236 is a 12-bit, four-channel (two differential-channel) ADC with a 2-wire serial interface. The MAX1236 EV kit board supports three standard 2-wire interface speeds: standard mode (S-Mode), fast mode (F-Mode), and high-speed mode (HS-Mode). The software provided with this EV kit only supports S-Mode. The Windows® 95/98 software provided with the EV kit uses the parallel (printer) port of an IBM-compatible PC to emulate a processor with a 2-wire interface (S-Mode). The Windows software also provides a friendly graphicaluser interface (GUI) to exercise the features of the MAX1236 with control buttons and menus. Order the MAX1236EVKIT for comprehensive evaluation of the MAX1236 using a personal computer with an available parallel port. Evaluates: MAX1236 MAX1236 Evaluation Kit Quick Start Recommended Equipment Before you begin, the following equipment is needed: • A fixed +5VDC power supply • An IBM-compatible PC with Windows 95/98 • An available parallel port (DB-25 female connector on back of PC) • A standard 25-pin, straight-through male-to-female cable to connect the computer’s parallel port to the MAX1236 EV kit board Procedure 1) Connect a cable from the computer’s parallel port to the MAX1236 EV kit board. Use a 25-pin straightthrough, female-to-male cable. 2) Install the MAX1236 EV kit software on your computer by running the INSTALL.EXE program on the floppy disk. The program files are copied and icons are created in the Programs section within the START menu. 3) Connect a +5VDC power supply between the 5V and the GND pads of the MAX1236 EV kit board. 4) Start the MAX1236 EV kit program by clicking its icon in the Programs section within the START menu. 5) Apply an analog input voltage (0 to VREF) between the AIN0 and GND pads of the MAX1236 EV kit board. 6) The program automatically detects the MAX1236 EV kit board and displays 2-Wire Hardware Detected in green. The AIN0 label automatically displays the voltage applied to the pad labeled AIN0 on the MAX1236 EV kit board. Detailed Description of Software The evaluation software’s main window (Figure 1) controls the setup byte. It also displays the voltage and output code of the input signal(s), depending on the configuration of the MAX1236. of the reference. The CLK bit selects either internal clock or external clock mode. The UNI/BIP bit selects either unipolar or bipolar mode. Setting RST to zero resets the configuration register. The setup register remains unchanged. The X Don’t Care bit can be ignored. Refer to the MAX1236 data sheet for more information on the SEL2, SEL1, and SEL0 bits within the Setup Byte. Config Byte The Config Byte always begins with a start bit value of zero. The SCAN1 and SCAN0 bits select the scanning mode. The CS1 and CS0 bits select one of the four analog input channels. The CS3 and CS2 bits are ignored by the MAX1236. The SE/DIFF bit selects either singleended or differential mode. See the MAX1236 data sheet for more information on the SCAN1, SCAN0, CS3, CS2, CS1, and CS0 bits within the Config Byte. Reference Voltage The evaluation software assumes a +4.096V reference voltage, unless otherwise specified. To override the internal 4.096V reference value, ensure bit SEL2 equals zero and bit SEL1 equals one within the Setup Byte. Then, apply the new reference voltage at the VREF pad on the board, type in the new reference voltage, without the volt unit, and press the Set Vref button. The EV kit software uses the value typed in the Vref field to translate the digital code to a voltage. Keyboard Navigation When you type on the keyboard, the system must know which control should receive the keystrokes. Press the TAB 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. Read ADC The Read ADC button manually reads the MAX1236 while using the current setup and configuration byte settings. When the AutoRead checkbox is checked, the software automatically reads the MAX1236 approximately every 300ms. AutoRead allows users to modify the setup and configuration bytes on the fly without having to manually press the Read ADC button each time. Setup Byte The Setup Byte always begins with a start bit value of one. The SEL2, SEL1, and SEL0 bits control the state 2 _______________________________________________________________________________________ MAX1236 Evaluation Kit 1) Disconnect the MAX1236 EV kit from the PC parallel port. The MAX1236 is a four-channel (two differential-channel) 12-bit ADC with a 2-wire serial interface. The opencollector inverter (U2) interfaces the PC parallel port to the 2-wire serial interface. U2 and the associated circuitry are only required when interfacing to the parallel port. Power the MAX1236 EV kit from a 5VDC power supply. To prevent damage to the MAX1236 EV kit, do not exceed +5.5VDC on the supply. 3) Connect the user-supplied 2-wire bus to the SDA, SCL, and GND pads. (Connect to the GND pad nearest the 5V pad on the MAX1236 EV kit board.) 2) Install 3kΩ resistors at locations R5 and R7. (This resistor value may require optimization for each system.) 4) Refer to the MAX1236 data sheet to ensure all timing specifications are met. User-Supplied 2-Wire Interface The MAX1236 EV kit provides a proven PC board layout and software to evaluate the features of the MAX1236. The Windows software only supports a 2-wire serial interface in S-Mode. To evaluate the MAX1236 with a user-supplied 2-wire serial interface in F-Mode or HS-Mode, do the following: NOTE: MAX1236 EVALUATION SOFTWARE’S MAIN WINDOW CONTROLS THE MAX1236 AND DISPLAYS CONVERSION RESULTS.
