Quick Start

Recommended Equipment—USB Port PC

Connection Option

Before you begin, the following equipment is needed:

•

MAX1162EVC16

(MAX1162EVKIT

board,

68HC16MODULE-DIP, and USBTO232)

•

Three DC power supplies: 8V to 20V, 5V, and -5V

•

External reference: +4.096V

•

Analog signal source: 0 to +4.096V

•

A PC running Windows 2000/XP with an available

standard USB port to connect to the USBTO232

•

USB cable included with the USBTO232

Procedure

Caution: Do not turn on the power until all the con-

nections are completed.

1) Visit the Maxim website (www.maxim-ic.com) to

download the latest version of the USBTO232 User

Guide. Follow the steps in the USBTO232 User

Guide Quick Start section and return to step 2 of

this Quick Start section when finished.

2) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the 40-pin

connector of the MAX1162 EV kit with the 40-pin

header of the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module. Gently

press them together. The two boards should be

flush against one another.

3) Ensure that the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module’s

SW1 switch is in the OFF position.

4) Connect the 8V to 20V power supply to the

68HC16MODULE-DIP module’s terminal block (J2)

located next to SW1. Observe the polarity marked

on the board.

5) Connect the 5V power supply to the VDD pad (with

respect to the GND pad) on the MAX1162 EV kit

board.

6) Connect the -5V power supply to the VEE pad (with

respect to the GND pad) on the MAX1162 EV kit

board.

7) Apply a 4.096V reference voltage to the MAX1162

EV kit’s terminal block (TB0) located in the upper-

left corner of the MAX1162 EV kit board. Observe

the polarity marked on the board.

8) Connect the USBTO232 board to the 68HC16MOD-

ULE-DIP module if you have not done so already.

9) The MAX1162 EV kit software should have already

been downloaded and installed in the USBTO232

Quick Start.

10) Start the MAX1162 program by opening its icon in

the Start | Programs menu.

11) Turn on all power supplies and enable the refer-

ence voltage. Slide SW1 to the ON position on the

68HC16MODULE-DIP module. Press the OK button

to automatically connect and download the

KIT1162.C16 file to the module.

12) Apply an input signal (0V to VREF) between AIN

and GND. Observe the readout on the running

Windows program.
