MAX19710–MAX19713 Evaluation
Kits/Evaluation Systems
General Description
The MAX19710–MAX19713 evaluation systems (EV
systems) consist of MAX19710–MAX19713 evaluation
kits (EV kits), a companion Maxim command module
(CMODUSB) interface board, and software. Order the
complete EV system (see the
Ordering Information)
for
comprehensive evaluation of the MAX19710–MAX19713
using a personal computer. Order the EV kit if the
command module has already been purchased with a
previous Maxim EV system, or for custom use in other
microcontroller-based (µC) systems.
The MAX19710–MAX19713 EV kits are fully assembled
and tested PCBs that contain all the components
necessary to evaluate the performance of the
MAX19710–MAX19713 analog front-ends (AFEs).
These AFEs integrate a dual-receive analog-to-digital
converter (Rx ADC), a dual-transmit digital-to-analog
converter (Tx DAC), a 1.024V internal voltage refer-
ence, three low-speed serial DACs, and one low-speed
serial ADC. The EV kit boards accept AC- or DC-
coupled, differential or single-ended analog inputs for
the Rx ADC and include circuitry that converts the Tx
DAC differential output signals to single-
ended analog outputs. The EV kits include circuitry that
generates a clock signal from an AC sine-wave input
signal. The EV kits operate from a +3.0V analog power
supply, a +1.8V digital power supply, a +3.0V clock
power supply, and ±5V bipolar power supplies.
The Maxim command module interface board
(CMODUSB) allows a PC to use its USB port to emulate
an SPI™ 3-wire interface. Windows

98SE/2000/XP-
compatible software, which can be downloaded from
www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware, provides a user-
friendly interface to exercise the features of the
MAX19710–MAX19713. The program is menu driven
and offers a graphical user interface (GUI) with control
buttons and a status display.

10) Connect a +5V, 250mA power supply to VOP.
Connect the ground terminal of this supply to GND.
11) Connect a -5V, 250mA power supply to VON.
Connect the ground terminal of this supply to GND.
12) Carefully align the 40-pin connector of the EV kit
(J1) with the 40-pin header of the CMODUSB inter-
face board (P4). Gently press them together.
13) The MAX19710–MAX19713 support two modes of
operation:
a. To connect a logic analyzer to the EV kit and
test the Rx ADCs, skip to step 14.
b. To connect a spectrum analyzer to the EV kit
and test the Tx DACs, skip to step 34.
Rx ADC Setup
14) Connect the clock signal generator to the input of
the clock bandpass filter.
15) Connect the output of the clock bandpass filter to
the EV kit SMA connector labeled CLOCK.
16) Connect the first analog signal generator to the
input of the desired bandpass filter.
17) Connect the output of the bandpass filter to the EV
kit SMA connector labeled IA (I channel).
18) Connect the second analog signal generator to the
input of the desired bandpass filter.
19) Connect the output of the bandpass filter to the EV
kit SMA connector labeled QA (Q channel).
20) Ensure that all signal generators are phase-locked to a
common reference frequency for coherent sampling.
21) Connect the logic analyzer to J2. Use the bit labels
(AD_) located next to header J2 for proper bit align-
ment or see the
Digital Data Bit Locations
section
for header connections.
22) Set the logic analyzer to capture 10-bit CMOS data
on the falling edge for the I channel or the rising
edge for the Q channel.
23) Turn on the -5V power supply.
24) Turn on all remaining power supplies.
25) Enable the signal generators.
26) Set the clock signal generator to output a 45MHz
signal. The amplitude of the generator should
be sufficient to produce a +16dBm signal at the SMA
input of the EV kit. Insertion losses due to the
series-connected filter (step 14) and the inter-
connecting cables decrease the amount of power
seen at the EV kit input. Account for these losses
when setting the signal generator amplitude.
27) Set the analog input signal generators to output the
desired frequency. The amplitude of the generator
should produce a signal that is no larger than
+5dBm, as measured at the SMA input of the EV kit.
Insertion losses, due to the series-connected filters
(steps 17 and 19) and the interconnecting cables,
decrease the amount of power seen at the EV kit
input. Account for these losses when setting the
signal generator amplitude.
28) Start the MAX19710–MAX19713 program by open-
ing its icon in the
Start
menu.
29) Normal device operation can be verified by the
Status:
Interface Board Operational
text in the
Interface
box
of the program.
30) Select the Maxim device that you are using from the
Device
combo box.
31) Click the
POR Reset
button on the EV kit software
GUI.
32) Enable the logic analyzer.
33) Capture data using the logic analyzer.

40) Turn on the -5V power supply.
41) Turn on all remaining power supplies.
42) Enable the signal generator.
43) Set the clock signal generator to output a 45MHz
signal. The amplitude of the generator should be
sufficient to produce a +16dBm signal at the SMA
input of the EV kit. Insertion losses, due to the
series-connected filter (step 34) and the intercon-
necting cables, decrease the amount of power
seen at the EV kit input. Account for these losses
when setting the signal generator amplitude.
44) Load the desired test pattern into the data generator.
Data clocked on the rising edge of the clock is trans-
mitted to the Q channel. Data clocked on the falling
edge of the clock is transmitted to the I channel.
45) Start the MAX19710–MAX19713 program by open-
ing its icon in the
Start
menu.
46) Normal device operation can be verified by the
Status: Interface Board Operational

The user interface (Figure 1) is easy to operate; use the
mouse, or a combination of the Tab and arrow keys to
manipulate the software. Each of the buttons corre-
spond to bits in the command and configuration bytes
of the Maxim IC. By selecting them, the correct SPI
write operation is generated to update the internal reg-
isters of the MAX19710–MAX19713.
The software divides EV kit functions into logical
blocks. The
Interface
box indicates the
Device,
the
Register Address Sent,
the
