MAX9959 Evaluation Kit
Quick Start
Required Equipment
? MAX9959 EV kit (USB cable included)
? User-supplied Windows 2000/XP or Windows Vista
PC with a spare USB port
? ±12V, 2A power supply
? Two digital voltmeters
Note: In the following sections, software-related items
are identified by bolding. 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.
Procedure
The MAX9959 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation:
1) Visit www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware to down-
load the latest version of the EV kit software,
9959Rxx.ZIP. Save the EV kit software to a tempo-
rary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.
2) Install the EV kit software on your computer by run-
ning the INSTALL.EXE program inside the tempo-
rary folder. The program files are copied and icons
are created in the Windows Start | Programs
menu.
3) Verify that all jumpers are in their default positions,
as shown in Table 1.
4) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the EV kit
board. A New Hardware Found window pops up
when installing the USB driver for the first time. If
you do not see a window that is similar to the one
described above after 30 seconds, remove the USB
cable from the board and reconnect it.
Administrator privileges are required to install the
USB device driver on Windows.
5) Follow the directions of the Add New Hardware
Wizard to install the USB device driver. Choose the
Search for the best driver for your device option.
Specify the location of the device driver to be
C:\Program Files\MAX9959 (default installation
directory) using the Browse button. During device
driver installation, Windows may show a warning
message indicating that the device driver Maxim
uses does not contain a digital signature. This is not
an error condition and it is safe to proceed with
installation. Refer to the USB_Driver_Help.PDF doc-
ument included with the software for additional
information.
6) Apply +12V to VCC (P2) and -12V to VEE (P4).
7) Start the MAX9959 EV kit software by opening its
icon in the Start | Programs menu. The EV kit soft-
ware main window appears, as shown in Figure 1.
8) In the MAX9959 Settings group box, click on the
FV radio button in the Set Measurement Mode
group box.
9) In the MAX5735 Settings group box, change the
voltage for VIN to +1V.
10) Check that the output voltage at DUT_NODE_M
(P8) is close to +1V. Figure 2 shows the MAX9959
EV kit quick start settings.
Detailed Description of Software
The main window of the evaluation kit software is
shown in Figure 1.
MAX9959 Settings
The MAX9959 supports an 18-bit word SPI interface. The
GUI provides a simple way to correlate setting changes
with bit settings. There are two on-board MAX9959
devices connected in a daisy-chain configuration. U1
can be considered the Master and is denoted with an
_M in the schematic, U2 can be considered the Slave
and is denoted with an _S in the schematic, but both
devices can be programmed to operate independently.
Because of the daisy-chain configuration, the bit stream
for U2 goes through U1 first. To avoid accidental pro-
gramming of a device when communicating with another
device in the daisy chain, bit 0 masks writing to the
MAX9959 and bit 1 masks the loading of the settings.
Both bits are automatically updated when using Master
and Master1/Master2 modes. The default setting by the
GUI is Manual Control and allows the user to set all
settings independently. Selecting Master , Master/
Slave , or Master1/Master2 forces certain bit settings
that are required for that mode.
The Set Measurement Mode group box is a quick way
to set the MAX9959 to force voltage ( FV ), force current
( FI ), force current as a slave device ( FI Slave ), or place
into high impedance ( Hi-Z ). Bit settings are automati-
cally changed to match mode settings.
