MAX14850PMB1 Peripheral Module
General Description
Features
The MAX14850PMB1 peripheral module utilizes the
MAX14850 digital isolator to isolate another SPI- or UARTbased module from any host system that utilizes PmodKcompatible expansion ports configurable for either a UART
or SPI interface. This peripheral module is first plugged
into the host Pmod port. Another UART- or SPI-based
module plugged into the 12-pin Pmod-compatible
connector on this peripheral module is galvanically isolated
from the host and referenced to a secondary power supply
connected to this peripheral module.
SIsolates SPI- or UART-Based Pmod-Compatible
Modules from the Host System
The IC is a 6-channel digital isolator utilizing Maxim’s proprietary process technology, whose monolithic design
provides a compact and low-cost transfer of digital
signals between circuits with different power domains. Of
the six total channels, the four unidirectional channels are
each capable of DC to 50Mbps, with two of the four channels passing data across the isolation barrier in each
direction. The two bidirectional channels are open drain
and each is capable of data rates from DC to 2Mbps.
SShort-Circuit Protection on Unidirectional Outputs
Refer to the MAX14850 IC data sheet for detailed information regarding operation of the IC.
SData Rates from 2Mbps to 20Mbps or Greater,
Depending on Configuration
S2-Pin Header to Connect External Voltage for

S600VRMS Isolation for 60s
SIsolates Four SPI or UART Signals and Two
Control Signals
S12-Pin Pmod-Compatible Male Connector to Host
S12-Pin Pmod-Compatible Female Connection for

Detailed Description
UART Interface
Table 1. Connector J1 (with SPI/UART
Peripheral Attached to J2)
The MAX14850PMB1 peripheral module can interface
to the host by plugging directly into a Pmod-compatible
port (configured for SPI or UART) through connector J1.
See Table 1.

Connector J2 provides the galvanically isolated connection to another peripheral module. Note that even though
the pinout numbering is different than J1, the signals from
the top row of pins on J1 are passed through to the top
row of pins on J2. See Table 2.

Example software and drivers are available that execute
directly without modification on several FPGA development boards that support an integrated or synthesized microprocessor. These boards include the Digilent
Nexys 3, Avnet LX9, and Avnet ZEDBoard, although
other platforms can be added over time. Maxim provides
complete Xilinx ISE projects containing HDL, Platform
Studio, and SDK projects. In addition, a synthesized bit
stream, ready for FPGA download, is provided for the
demonstration application.
The software project (for the SDK) contains several
source files intended to accelerate customer evaluation and design. These include a base application
(maximModules.c) that demonstrates module functional-
Serial clock/ready to send
Spare input from Pmod to host
Spare input/output
ity, and uses an API interface (maximDeviceSpecific
Utilities.c) to set and access Maxim device functions
within a specific module.
The source code is written in standard ANSI C format, and
all API documentation including theory/operation, register
description, and function prototypes are documented in
the API interface file (maximDeviceSpecificUtilities.h & .c).
The complete software kit is available for download at
www.maxim-ic.com. Quick start instructions are also
available as a separate document.
