ProcedureThe MAX9694 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation:Visit /evkitsoftwareto down-
load the latest version of the EV kit software,
9694Rxx.ZIP. Save the EV kit software to a tempo-
rary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.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 | Programsmenu.Connect the USB cable from the PC to the EV kit
board. A New Hardware Foundwindow 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.Follow the directions of the
Add New Hardware
Wizardto install the USB device driver. Choose the
Search for the best driver for your deviceoption.
Specify the location of the device driver to be
C:\Program Files\MAX9694(default installation
directory) using the Browsebutton. 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 instal-
lation. Refer to the USB_Driver_Help.PDF document
included with the software for additional information.Once the software and hardware installation is com-
plete, disconnect the USB cable from the EV kit.Verify that shunts are installed as follows:
JU1: Pins 1-2 (on-board 3.3V digital power supply)
JU2: Pins 1-2 (MAX9694 write address = 0xE8)Connect the USB cable to the EV kit.Connect the DVM negative terminal to the AGND
PCB pad next to the VREFL_L PCB pad.Connect a voltage probe to the DVM positive termi-
nal for later use.
10)Set the power supply to 15V and disable the power-
supply output.
11)Connect the power-supply positive terminal to the
AVDD PCB pad (center of board) and the negative
terminal to the nearby AGND PCB pad.
12)Enable the power-supply output.
13)Start the MAX9694 EV kit software by opening its
icon in the Start | Programsmenu. The EV kit soft-
ware main window appears, as shown in Figure 1.
14)Use the DVM voltage probe to measure the refer-
ence input voltages on the VREFU_H, VREFU_L,
VREFL_H, and VREFL_L PCB pads, and type those
values into the corresponding edit boxes of the
Reference Voltages (V)group box in the software.
Evaluates: MAX969415)Press the Quick Startbutton.
16)Use the DVM voltage probe to verify that the DAC
output voltages are close to the voltages shown in
the Output (V)edit boxes for the respective channel.
Detailed Description of SoftwareThe MAX9694 evaluation software main window is
shown in Figure 1. The GUI software automatically
detects the MAX9694 device address and displays it in
the I2C Address Settingdrop-down list and in the soft-
ware status bar. The DAC output voltages in the Upper
DAC Channelsand
Lower DAC Channelsgroup
boxes are calculated using the upper and lower refer-
ence input voltages on PCB pads VREFU_H, VREFU_L,
VREFL_H, and VREFL_L. The reference input voltages
MUST be measured at the appropriate PCB pads and
the values entered in the respective
Reference
Voltages (V)edit boxes for the DAC output calculations
to be correct.
Upon IC startup, the DAC outputs wake up in high-
impedance mode. To exit high-impedance mode, press
the Quick Startbutton or perform the following steps:Modify any of the DAC channel’s register values.
Register values are modified using the edit boxes
and scrollbars of the Register Settingstab. See
the Output Register Valuessection for more infor-
mation.Press the Load All Values To Registersbutton.
The Quick Startbutton loads all registers with the val-
ues shown in Figure 1.
MAX9694 Evaluation KitFigure 1. MAX9694 Evaluation Software Main Window
2C Address SettingThe MAX9694’s I2C slave address is displayed in the
I2C Address Settingdrop-down list and in the bottom
status bar of the software window. If an address is
manually selected in the drop-down list, the software
verifies the address and changes the address dis-
played appropriately. If no acknowledge is received
from the EV kit, a pop-up window opens, directing the
user to properly set jumper JU2 on the EV kit. If the
Auto Detect Addresscheckbox is checked, the soft-
ware automatically detects the I2C address of the
MAX9694.
Upper and Lower DAC Output VoltagesThe upper and lower DAC output voltages are generat-
ed using an on-board resistor-divider network. The user
can also apply external references to the VREFU_H,
VREFU_L, VREFL_H, and VREFL_L and AGND PCB
pads. The voltages on these four pads MUST be cap-
tured and typed into the appropriate edit boxes in the
Reference Voltages (V)group box for the calculated
DAC output voltages shown in the
Upper DAC
Channelsand
Lower DAC Channelsgroup boxes to
be correct.
The transfer function for the upper DAC channels is:
The transfer function for the lower DAC channels is:
In both equations, D is the register’s decimal value.
Refer to the MAX9694 IC data sheet for more details.
When the evaluation software is run for the first time,
the reference input-voltage values in the Reference
Voltages (V)group box are loaded from an initialization
file (REF.INI). When the program is closed, the current
values are logged into the initialization file. The next
time the program is run, the latest values are loaded
automatically.
Output Register ValuesEach DAC channel’s register value can be set in three
ways within the Upper DAC Channels and Lower
DAC
Channelsgroup boxes by:Moving the channel’s scrollbar.Typing register values directly into the channel’s
Reg Valueedit box (decimal 8-bit equivalent).Typing the expected output voltage in the channel’s
Output (V)edit box. The software uses a register
value that generates a voltage closest to the
desired voltage value.
When a register value is changed, the corresponding
field changes its color to red. A user should synchro-
nize the GUI fields and actual device registers by
pressing the Load All Values To Registersbutton.
The Load All Reg Values From Filebutton is used to
load all the register values and reference voltages from
a user-selected text file. The Save All Reg Values To
Filebutton is used to save all the register values and
reference voltages on the current GUI to a user-named
text file.
VCOMCalibrationVCOMcalibration is controlled using the scrollbar and
edit box of the DVR_OUTgroup box (see the Hardware
Configuration for VCOMCalibrationsection to make use
of this feature). The register value for the 7-bit DAC
controls the DVR_OUT sink current adjusting the volt-
age at the DVR_OUT pin as follows:
where D is the DVR_OUT 7-bit register value and AVDD
is the voltage at the AVDD PCB pad.

puts), four static buffered reference voltage outputs
(reference outputs), and a 7-bit DVR output for calibrat-
ing a VCOMvoltage.
To monitor the MAX9694 EV kit’s 14 DAC outputs
(OUT1–OUT14), and four reference outputs
(OUT_REFU_H, OUT_REFU_L, OUT_REFL_H, and
OUT_REFL_L), use header J1 or the labeled test points.
Reference outputs OUT_REFU_H, OUT_REFU_L,
OUT_REFL_H, OUT_REFL_L and DAC outputs OUT1,
OUT7, OUT8, and OUT14 provide 400mA of peak cur-
rent. DAC outputs OUT2–OUT6 and OUT9–OUT13 pro-
vide 200mA of peak current. Please stay within the
MAX9694 IC’s power rating. Refer to the MAX9694 IC
The on-board resistor-divider network (R21–R25) gen-
erates the reference inputs (REFU_H, REFU_L,
REFL_H, and REFL_L). The user can also apply exter-
nal reference voltages to the VREFU_H, VREFU_L,
VREFL_H, and VREFL_L PCB pads after removing
resistors R21–R25.
The EV kit uses a 9V to 20V DC power supply, connect-
ed across the AVDD and AGND PCB pads, for powering
the EV kit application circuit. The EV kit may require up to
500mA of supply current depending on output loading.
