MAX11068 Evaluation System
General Description
The MAX11068 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the
capabilities of the MAX11068 advanced smart battery-
pack controller. The EV kit PCB is made up of two
boards, each containing nearly identical MAX11068
circuits. The left side of the EV kit is referenced as side
(A) and the right side is referenced as side (B). The
two-boards-in-one design provides a simple demon-
stration of the MAX11068’s SMBusK ladder capability.
Additional vertical headers allow for the connection of
multiple EV kits, supporting the maximum 31-device lad-
der capability of the device’s I
2
C bus system.
Integrated into the EV kit design are two MAX11080
12-channel high-voltage battery-pack fault monitors. The
MAX11080 ICs work in conjunction with the MAX11068
ICs, providing redundant overvoltage and undervoltage
monitoring.
The MAX11068 evaluation system (EV system) includes
the MAX11068 EV kit and the MINIQUSB command
module. The MINIQUSB provides an I
2
C interface to a
PC. The supplied command module allows the kit to be
evaluated with the MAX11068 EV kit software that can be
downloaded from
www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware.

5)
Recommended Equipment
to the PC. If a window is not seen that is similar
to the one described above after 30s, remove the
USB cable from the MINIQUSB and reconnect it.
Administrator privileges are required to install the
USB device driver on Windows 2000, Windows XP,
and Windows Vista.
Follow the directions of the
Add_ New_ Hardware_
Wizard_
to install the USB device driver. Choose
the
Search_ for_ the_ best_ driver_ for_ your_ device
option. Specify the location of the device driver to
be
C:\Program_ Files\MAX11068
(default installa-
tion directory) using the
Browse
button. Refer to the
USB_Driver_Help.PDF document included with the
software for additional information.
Ensure that all jumper shunts are installed in the
default positions, as shown in Table 1.
Verify that all switches are configured, as shown in
Table 2.
Ensure that a ribbon cable is connected between
headers J2 and J101.
Configure the DC power supplies for 18V each.
The power supplies should be isolated. Refer to the
MAX11068 and MAX11080 IC data sheets for valid
device operating ranges. The MAX11080 also has a
minimum per-cell voltage requirement.

Note:
In the following sections, software-related items
are identified by bolding. Text in
bold
refers to items
directly from the EV kit software. Text in
bold_and_under-
lined
refers to items from the Windows operating system.
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the
steps below to verify board operation.
Caution:_Do_not_

1)
Visit
www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware
to down-
load the latest version of the EV kit software,
11068Rxx.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_|_Programs
menu.
Connect the MINIQUSB board to the MINIQUSB-
XHV board.
Connect the USB cable from the PC to the MINIQUSB
board. A
Building_ Driver_ Database
window pops
up in addition to a
New_Hardware_Found

Procedure
2)
10) Connect one 18V supply between the PACKA+
and PACKA- PCB pads and the other 18V supply
between the PACKB+ and PACKB- PCB pads,
respectively.
11) Connect the MINIQUSB-XHV board’s P3 header to
the EV kit’s J3 header. The boards should be flush
with one another.
12) Enable both of the DC power supplies.
13) Start the EV kit software by opening its icon in the
Start_ |_ Programs
menu. The EV kit software main
window appears, as shown in Figure 7.
