General Description
The MAX6960 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven
design to evaluate the MAX6960 8 x 8 graphic LED tile
display driver. The EV kit board contains four MAX6960
LED display drivers, four 2.4in 8 x 8 bicolor LED tiles, a
4MHz oscillator, and logic buffers. Each MAX6960 EV
kit can be cascaded to support up to a total of 20
MAX6960 devices. The EV kit also includes Windows®
98SE/2000/XP-compatible software, which provides a
simple graphical user interface (GUI) for exercising the
MAX6960’s features.
The MAX6960 evaluation system (EV system) consists
of a MAX6960 EV kit and a companion Maxim
CMODUSB serial interface board. The Maxim
CMODUSB serial interface board allows an IBM-
compatible PC to use its USB port to emulate a serial
interface that is compatible with the MAX6960. Order
the MAX6960EVCMODU for a complete PC-based eval-
uation of the MAX6960. Order the MAX6960EVKIT if you
already have a MAX6960 compatible serial interface.
The EV kit includes a preinstalled MAX6960ATH.

Detailed Description of Software
The evaluation software’s main window shown in Figure
1 displays tabs for 8-bit, 16-bit, and 24-bit addressing
modes as well as individual tabs for each register in the
MAX6960’s register address map (0x00 through 0x0F).
Table 1 describes the controls that are always present
on the evaluation software’s main window.
The 8 and 16-bit addr modes tab, shown in Figure 1,
allows the user to execute 8-bit and 16-bit address mode
operations. The 8-bit address mode is the quickest
method of updating a plane of display memory in the
MAX6960 and is write only. During the 8-bit address

mode, data is written to the display memory using indi-
rection through the global display indirect address regis-
ter. This display indirect address is autoincremented
after each 8-bit write to allow continuous image data
dumps into the plane of display memory in the MAX6960.
The 16-bit address mode is capable of reading or writ-
ing command/data bytes to the MAX6960’s registers. A
16-bit write can be global (updates all MAX6960s with
the same data) or local (only one MAX6960). A 16-bit
read always uses indirection through the global driver
indirect address register to select only one MAX6960.
Refer to the Register Addressing Modessection of the
MAX6960 data sheet for additional information.
The 24-bit addr modes(1 bit/pixel)tab shown in
Figure 2, and the 24-bit addr modes(2 bit/pixel)tab
shown in Figure 3, allow the user to execute 24-bit
address mode operations. A 24-bit operation is always
a direct read or write of address/data to the MAX6960’s
display memory because the memory address is
included in the 24-bit operation. Refer to the Register
Addressing Modessection of the MAX6960 data sheet
for additionalinformation.

Detailed Description of Hardware
MAX6960 EV System
The MAX6960 EV system is a PC-controlled LED dis-
play system consisting of a MAX6960 EV kit and the
Maxim CMODUSB serial interface board.
CMODUSB Serial Interface Board
The CMODUSB serial interface board uses a propri-
etary design to provide SPI™- and I2C-compatible
interfaces to demonstrate various Maxim devices.
Maxim reserves the right to change the implementation
of this module at any time with no advance notice.
CMODUSB Power Supply
The CMODUSB board uses a MAX1658 linear regulator.
Jumper J1 selects between a 5V or 3.3V system supply
voltage. Do not plug a wall cube into the P1 power jack
because power is provided from the USB port.
Table 2. CMODUSB Jumper J1 (System
Supply Voltage)
MAX6960 EV Kit
The MAX6960 EV kit contains four MAX6960 devices
(U1–U4), a 16 x16 dot-matrix display (D1–D4), a step-
down voltage regulator (U12), a 4MHz oscillator (U10),
and logic buffers (U5–U9, U13). The MAX6960 EV kit
requires a +5V supply (rated for 2.5A per EV kit) and up
to five MAX6960 EV kits can be cascaded allowing the
user to evaluate up to 20 MAX6960 devices.
Tables 3 through 19 explain the functionality of each
jumper when using only one MAX6960 EV kit.

Cascading MAX6960
EV Kit Boards
The MAX6960 EV kit board was carefully designed to
cascade up to five MAX6960 EV kits. Tables 3 through
19 explain the functionality of each jumper when using
only one MAX6960 EV kit and Table 20 shows a sum-
mary of all the default settings. The 5V supply
requires a current capability of 2.5A per MAX6960
EV kit.For example, five cascaded MAX6960 EV kits
require a 5V supply capable of supplying 12.5A. If the
digit 0 and digit 1 segment current settings are
changed from 40mA to 20mA on all MAX6960 devices,
then the current requirement is cut in half. For example,
one MAX6960 EV kit would require 1.25A and five
MAX6960 EV kits would require 6.25A.
Table 20. Using One MAX6960
EV Kit Board
The sections below show the jumper settings for cas-
cading two, three, four, and five MAX6960 EV kit
boards.
Cascading Two MAX6960 EV Kit Boards
Table 21 shows the jumper settings when cascading
two MAX6960 EV kits. The 5V supply requires a current
capability of 5A when cascading two MAX6960 EV kits.
If the digit 0 and digit 1 segment current settings are
changed from 40mA to 20mA on all MAX6960 devices
for both MAX6960 EV kits, then the current requirement
is 2.5A.

Cascading Three MAX6960 EV Kit Boards
Table 22 shows the jumper settings when cascading
three MAX6960 EV kits. The 5V supply requires a cur-
rent capability of 7.5A when cascading three MAX6960
EV kits. If the digit 0 and digit 1 segment current set-
tings are changed from 40mA to 20mA on all MAX6960
devices for all three MAX6960 EV kits, then the current
requirement is 3.75A.
Table 22. Cascading Three MAX6960 EV
Kit Boards
Cascading Four MAX6960 EV Kit Boards
Table 23 shows the jumper settings when cascading
four MAX6960 EV kits. The 5V supply requires a 10A
current capability when cascading four MAX6960 EV
kits. If the digit 0 and digit 1 segment current settings
are changed from 40mA to 20mA on all MAX6960
devices for all four MAX6960 EV kits, then the current
requirement is 5A.

Cascading Five MAX6960 EV Kit Boards
Table 24 shows the jumper settings when cascading
five MAX6960 EV kits. The 5V supply requires a current
capability of 12.5A when cascading five MAX6960 EV
kits. If the digit 0 and digit 1 segment current settings
are changed from 40mA to 20mA on all MAX6960
devices for all five MAX6960 EV kits, then the current
requirement is 6.25A.

MAX6960 EV System Troubleshooting
Problem 1:CMOD___ Module Hardware Not Found.
See Figure 4.
Solution 1:Is the red power LED lit on the CMODUSB If not,
unplug and plug in the USB cable.Is the USB cable connected If not, plug in the USB
cable.Has the USB driver been installed If not, refer to
step 6 in the Quick Startsection or the
Troubleshooting USB.PDF included with the software.
Problem 2:Not all the LEDs light up.
Solution 2:Are the jumpers in the correct settings If not, see
the Cascading MAX6960 EV Kit Boardssection for
correct jumper settings.Are the global driver devices and global driver rows
registers configured correctly If not, select the num-
ber of MAX6960 EV kits being used in the Cascaded
Boards:drop-down menu.
