Text in bold refers to items directly from the EV kit software. Text in bold and underlined refers to items from the Windows® operating system. 1) Install two shunts on jumper J5, both to the (L) position. This sets address pins ADR0 and ADR1 low. 2) Connect a +3.3V supply to VCC (J6) and GND (J7). Set the supply current limit to 200mA. 3) Connect the computer to the EV kit with a USB cable (A-Male to Mini-B-Male). LED D2 should switch on, indicating that USB power is detected. 4) To download the latest version of the EV kit software (MAX3674revX.zip), visit the Maxim website at www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware. Uncompress the zip file to a local folder and run the installation file (setup.exe). Installation requires administrative rights and may also require Internet access to download necessary drivers. 5) After installation is complete, follow this path to start the program: Start → All Programs → Maxim Integrated Products → MAX3674 Evaluation Kit 6) Press the Initialize / Test Communication button. The message box should report: USB Device Detected MAX3674 Detected MAX7312 Detected 7) Press the following buttons in this order: RESET → LOAD → READ. At this point, the LOCK output should be high (LED D1 on), indicating that the PLL is locked. 8) Set the values for P, NA, NB, and M to obtain the desired output frequency. 9) Press the LOAD button, followed by the READ button. 10) Connect the clock outputs (QA, QA, QB, QB) to test equipment with SMA cables. Terminate unused outputs.

A microcontroller (Microchip PIC16C745) and I/O port expander (MAX7312) allow the user to set control pins and read/write registers with software. The on-board 16MHz crystal and integrated oscillator generate the PLL reference clock. Alternatively, an external clock source can be connected to the REF_CLK input to serve as the reference clock. LED D1 switches on when the LOCK output is high, indicating the PLL is locked. The microcontroller is powered by the USB port +5V supply. LED D2 switches on when USB power is detected. The MAX3674 and I/O port expander are powered by the +3.3V supply. The EV kit also includes the MAX3373 level translator that interfaces the I2C clock and data lines from the microcontroller to the MAX3674 and I/O port expander, and is powered by both supplies. The USB cable and +3.3V supply can be connected to the EV kit in any sequence. Master Reset It is recommended to press the RESET button after every power-up. LVPECL Clock Outputs The LVPECL clock outputs (QA, QA, QB, QB) have onboard bias-Ts that provide DC biasing and AC-couple the signal to allow direct connection to 50Ω-terminated test equipment. Unused outputs should be terminated to prevent reflections on the transmission lines. Reference Clock Input The REF_CLK input (J17) accepts sinusoidal or squarewave clocks with frequencies between 15MHz and 20MHz, and swings up to 3.3VP-P. This input has a 50Ω DC termination to ground and is AC-coupled to an onboard buffer. The buffer is used to square the clock signal applied to the REF_CLK input pin. I2C Slave Address Jumper J5 is used to set the two selectable address bits (ADR0 and ADR1). The EV kit software performs a search at power-up to determine which of the four possible slave addresses is being used. EV Kit Software The EV kit software provides an easy way to set operational modes and read/write internal registers (Figure 1). Refer to the MAX3674 data sheet for detailed descriptions of the MAX3674 functions and guidance on selecting dividers settings. Note that when the Programming Interface is set to I2C, the settings for dividers P, NA, NB, and M are configured within the MAX3674 after pressing the LOAD button. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3 Evaluates: MAX3674 Detailed Description Evaluates: MAX3674 MAX3674 Evaluation Kit Figure 1.
