MAX1162 Evaluation System/Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX1162 evaluation system (EV system) is a com-
plete 16-bit data-acquisition system consisting of a
MAX1162 evaluation kit (EV kit), Maxim 68HC16MOD-
ULE-DIP microcontroller (µC) module, and USBTO232.
Order the complete EV system (MAX1162EVC16) for
comprehensive evaluation of the MAX1162, using a per-
sonal computer (PC). Order the EV kit (MAX1162EVKIT)
separately if the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module has
already been purchased with a previous Maxim EV sys-
tem or for custom use in other µC-based systems.
This EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX1062
14-bit ADC.
To evaluate the MAX1062, request a MAX1062AEUB free
sample when ordering this EV kit.

menu.
3) 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.
4) Ensure that the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module’s
SW1 switch is in the OFF position.
5) 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.
6) Connect the 5V power supply to the VDD pad (with
respect to the GND pad) on the MAX1162 EV kit
board.
7) Connect the -5V power supply to the VEE pad (with
respect to the GND pad) on the MAX1162 EV kit
board.
8) 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.
9) Connect a standard serial cable from the comput-
er’s serial port to the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module.
If the PC’s standard serial port has a 9-pin connec-
tor, use a straight-through, 9-pin female-to-male
cable. If the PC’s only available standard serial port
has a 25-pin connector, a standard 25-pin to 9-pin
adapter is required. The EV kit software checks the
modem status lines (CTS, DSR, DCD) to confirm
that the correct port has been selected.
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

Detailed Description
MAX1162 Stand-Alone EV Kit
The MAX1162 EV kit provides a proven PCB layout to
evaluate the MAX1162. It must be interfaced to appro-
priate timing signals for proper operation. Connect 5V
to VDD and -5V to VEE with respect to GND. Apply a
4.096V reference voltage to the MAX1162 EV kit’s ter-
minal block (TB0) located in the upper-left corner of the
MAX1162 EV kit board. See the
MAX1162 EV Kit
Schematic
(Figure 2) and refer to the MAX1162 data
sheet for timing requirements.

MAX1162 EV System
The MAX1162EVC16 EV system operates from three
user-supplied power supplies: 8V to 20V, 5V, and -5V.
Connect the 8V to 20V power supply to the µC mod-
ule’s terminal block (J2) located next to SW1. Observe
the polarity marked on the board. Connect 5V to VDD
and -5V to VEE with respect to GND on the MAX1162
EV kit board. 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. See the
MAX1162 EV Kit Schematic
(Figure 2).
Windows 98/2000/XP-compatible software interfaces to
the EV system board through the PC’s standard serial
port (virtual COM port). See the
Quick Start
section for
complete setup and operating instructions.
Detailed Description of
Software
The EV software’s main window is shown in Figure 1. It
controls the serial clock speed and sample rate. It also
displays the voltage and output code as well as some
statistics of the input signal. A separate graph shows
the data changing in real time. The update rate is limit-
ed to about 10 samples per second, due to COM port
bandwidth limitations.
Sample Rate
The
SPI SCLK Frequency
area allows the user to vary
the ADC to µC sample rate. The PC is not capable of
retrieving the data that was stored in the memory of the
µC as fast as the µC can obtain the data from the ADC.
This is because the µC’s SPI interface is much faster
than the PC’s standard serial port (virtual COM port).
Hence, the ADC to µC sample rate refers to the sample
_______________________________________________________________________________________

MAX1162 Evaluation System/Evaluation Kit
Evaluate: MAX1162/MAX1062
rate at which data is being sampled by the ADC and
stored in the µC’s memory. Use the pulldown menu to
select the desired SCLK frequency. The first two digits
are the divisor for the µC’s internal clock. The next float-
ing point number is the corresponding SCLK frequen-
cy. The ADC to µC sample rate is displayed in the
ADC
to µC sample rate
field located on the right side of the
main window.
The µC to PC transfer rate is controlled using the field
at the bottom of the main window and can be controlled
in two different ways. Pressing the
Read
button allows
the user to manually grab a sample from the µC’s mem-
ory. Clicking the
Read Every
checkbox allows the user
to automatically read samples from the µC’s memory at
a rate selectable in milliseconds.
To retrieve a block of consecutively sampled data to
the PC, click on the Sample menu located at the top
left-hand corner of the main window. The data-block
length is selectable and the data can be saved to a file.
Reference Voltage
The EV software assumes a 4.096V reference voltage,
unless otherwise specified. To override the 4.096V ref-
erence value, apply the new reference voltage at the
terminal block (TB0) on the MAX1162 EV kit board, type
in the new reference voltage, without the volt unit, and
press the
Set Vref
button. The EV kit software uses the
value typed in the V
REF
field to translate the digital
code to a voltage.
Detailed Description of
Hardware
The MAX1162 is a 16-bit serial ADC. When the
MAX1162 EV kit board is connected to the
68HC16MODULE-DIP module, power is provided to U2
by the module. The user must also provide 5V to VDD
and -5V to VEE (with respect to the GND pads) on the
MAX1162 EV kit board. The MAX1162 EV kit contains
two different types of buffers. U2 is a logic buffer to limit
the load capacitance that is seen by the DOUT line of
the MAX1162. U1 is powered from VDD. U3 is powered
from VDD and VEE. A terminal block (TB0) has also
been provided on the MAX1162 EV kit board for the
external reference. See the
Reference Voltage
section
and the
MAX1162 EV Kit Schematic
(Figure 2).
Statistics
The
Minimum
and
Maximum
fields in the statistics area
show the highest and lowest readings acquired. The
Average
field displays a running mean. When reading
data manually by pressing the
Read
button, the
Average
and
RMS
fields require approximately five samples until
they are accurately represented. The
Clear Statistics
button resets the statistics. To remove offset errors, first
apply zero volts to the active input channel, press the
Clear Statistics
button, acquire some samples, and then
check the
Null Offset
checkbox. Once checked, the
label next to the
Null Offset
checkbox shows the sam-
pled offset error. This value is subtracted from all subse-
quent measurements until the checkbox is unchecked.
