MAX11300/MAX11301 PIXI Configuration Software User Guide
1. Overview
This document explains how a Windows®-based design tool can be used to create a
configuration bitstream for the MAX11300 and MAX11301.
The MAX11300 and MAX11301
are functionally similar from a configuration design, with the difference being the type
of serial interface (MAX11300 = SPI, MAX11301 = I
2
C). Within this document the
MAX11300 is often used to refer to both part numbers and is also referred to as PIXI™.
Refer to the MAX11300 and MAX11301 IC data sheets for detailed information
regarding the operation of the IC.
The MAX11300 and MAX11301 ICs offer 20 ports, all of which can be individually configured
in a number of different modes including ADC, DAC, GPI, GPO, or analog switch terminal.
MAX11300 Configuration Software provides easy configuration for the MAX11300 and
MAX11301 PIXI devices and all possible configuration modes. Each port can be configured
through simple drag-and-drop functionality to select the mode required. The software tool
generates the bitstream that users download to the target PIXI in order to configure its
functionality within their end application. All configurations implemented through this software
can be saved for later use.
2. Required Equipment

3. Procedure
The MAX11300 Configuration Software is not only a stand-alone tool, but also included
within the MAX11300 EV KIT Software and the Munich GUI, which support the hardware
platforms allowing easy evaluation and prototyping with MAX11300. Follow these steps to
download and install the software:
•
MAX11300 Configuration Software
a) Go to
www.maximintegrated.com/evkitsoftware
to download the latest version of
the
MAX11300 Configuration Software, MAX11300ConfigurationSetupV1.1.zip.
Save the Configuration Software to a temporary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.
b) Install the MAX11300 Configuration Software on your computer by running the
MAX11300ConfigurationSetupV1.1.exe
program inside the temporary folder. The
program files are copied to your PC and icons are created in the Windows
Start | Programs
menu.
MAX11300 EV KIT Software
a) Go to
www.maximintegrated.com/evkitsoftware
to download the latest version of
the
MAX11300 EV KIT Software, MAX11300EVKitSetupV1.1.zip.
Save the
MAX11300 EV KIT software to a temporary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.
b) During the installation process the user can select which components to install
between the Configuration Software and the EV KIT GUI.
c) Install the EV KIT software and USB driver on your computer by running the
MAX11300EVKitSetupV1.1.exe
program inside the temporary folder. The program
files are copied to your PC and icons are created in the Windows
Start | Programs
menu. During software installation, some versions of Windows may show a warning
message indicating that this software is from an unknown publisher. This is not an
error condition and it is safe to proceed with installation. Administrator privileges are
required to install the USB device driver on Windows.
The software requires .NET
Framework v4.
If this framework is not detected during installation, the installer will
launch
dotNetFx40_Full_setup.exe
to install it. Internet access may be required to
install the .NET Framework v4 if it is not already installed.
Munich GUI 2.02
a) Go to
www.maximintegrated.com/evkitsoftware
to download the latest version
of the
Munich GUI 2.02
software,
Munich_GUISetupV2.02.zip.
Save the Munich
GUI 2.02 software to a temporary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.
b) During the installation process the user can select which components to install
between the Configuration Software and the Munich GUI.
c) Install the Munich GUI 2.02 software and USB driver on your computer by running
the
Munich_GUISetupV2.02.exe
program inside the temporary folder. The
program files are copied to your PC and icons are created in the Windows
Start |
Programs
menu.
