The MAX1464 evaluation kit (EV kit) is designed to evaluate
the MAX1464 high-performance, low-power, low-noise
multichannel sensor signal processor. The EV kit
includes: an evaluation PCB, the EV board that contains
a MAX1464 signal conditioner with a typical application
circuit, and potentiometers that act as sensor inputs to
the MAX1464; an interface PCB, KEY, which acts as a
voltage level translator between the EV kit and the computer;
a parallel-port extension cable; plus, supporting
software, program examples, and related documentation
and application notes.
The DB25 pin connector allows a PC's parallel port to
provide the interface. Two Windows®-based software
(hardware debugger and control program) provide a
friendly graphics user interface (GUI) to utilize the features
of the MAX1464, as well as to perform sensor
compensation of one device. The Hardware Debugger
program includes multiple tabs for accessing relevant
registers and ports, writing programs to the on-chip flash
memory, downloading flash memory contents into a file,
etc. Use the Hardware Debugger program to learn the
MAX1464 functions and see the significance of individual
registers and ports. The Control program includes
functional buttons to have the chip perform a series of
predefined lower level operations, such as pushing single
buttons to read the ADC. The Control program can
be used to perform 2nd-order sensor compensation and
calibration.
The EV board can be powered by either a fixed +5V
supply or by an +8V to +40V supply that is regulated to
+5V by a regulator present on the EV kit board before it
is applied to the MAX1464 chip. Jumper JU1 must be
set consistently with the used power supply.
Order the MAX1464 EV kit for comprehensive evaluation
of the MAX1464 using a PC with an available parallel port.
