Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• MAX7311 EV kit (USB cable included)
• A user-supplied Windows 2000/XP/Vista-compatible
PC with a spare USB port
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
underlined
refers to items from the Windows operat-
ing system.

Procedure
The MAX7311 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation:
1) Visit www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware to download
the latest version of the EV kit software,
7311Rxx.ZIP. Save the EV kit software to a tempo-
rary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.
2) 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.
3) Verify that all jumpers (JU0–JU5) are in their default
positions, as shown in Table 1.
4) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the EV kit
board. A
New Hardware Found
window pops up

7)
8)
9)
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
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\MAX7311
(default installation
directory) using the
Browse
button. 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.
Start the MAX7311 EV kit software by opening its
icon in the
Start | Programs
menu. The EV kit soft-
ware main window appears, as shown in Figure 1.
Wait approximately five seconds for the program to
automatically detect the slave address (0x40) of the
MAX7311 in the
I2C Addresses
group box.
Set
I/O0–I/O7
to outputs by selecting all
Output
radio buttons in the
Configuration
group box.
Verify that all red LEDs are brightly lit.

Detailed Description of Software
To start the MAX7311 EV kit software, double-click on the
MAX7311 EV kit icon that is created during installation.
The GUI main window appears, as shown in Figure 1.
Port 1 and Port 2 Tabs
The
Port 1
tab sheet shown in Figure 1 controls all of
the registers for
I/O0–I/O7
of the MAX7311. In the
Configuration
group box, the user can set the I/O port
as an input or output by selecting the adjacent
Input
or
Output
radio buttons.
In the
Input Port
group box, press the
Read
button to
read the input port status.
Check the desired checkboxes and press the
Write
button in the
Polarity Inversion
group box to invert the
polarity of the corresponding port pins. Uncheck the
checkboxes and press the
Write
button to obtain the
default polarity of the corresponding port pins.

C Addresses Group Box
The
slave address of the MAX7311 depends on the
jumper settings of JU0, JU1, and JU2. The
I2C
Addresses
drop-down list automatically detects the
MAX7311’s I
2
C slave address when the GUI software
starts. The default I
2
C slave address, when the EV kit is
shipped, is 0x40.

Output Evaluations of I/Os
There are eight red LEDs and eight green LEDs on the EV
kit to demonstrate the push-pull capability of the I/Os.
When an I/O is configured as an output and the logic level
is high, the corresponding red LED will be on and the
green LED will be off. If the logic level is low, the corre-
sponding green LED will be on and the red LED will be off.

Reconnect Button
If the jumper settings of JU0, JU1, and JU2 change,
press the
Reconnect
button to automatically detect the
new I
2
C slave address of the MAX7311.
Input Evaluations of I/Os
Two pullup resistors and two pushbuttons are connected
to I/O8 and I/O9 of the MAX7311. Press pushbutton S2 to
drive I/O8 low and press pushbutton S1 to drive I/O9 low.
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX7311 has 16 I/Os, configurable as push-pull
outputs or inputs. The MAX7311 EV kit board provides
a proven layout for evaluating the MAX7311. The EV kit
comes with a MAX7311ATG+ installed.
User-Supplied Power Supply
By default, the MAX7311 EV kit is powered by USB. To
use the user-supplied power supply, place a shunt on
pins 2-3 of JU5, cut the trace between pins 1-2 of JU5,
and connect a 2.5V to 3.3V power supply to the VIN pad.
I
2
C Address Configuration
The combinations of shunt position of jumpers JU0,
JU1, and JU2 determine the I
2
C slave address of the
MAX7311 device. Refer to the MAX7311 IC data sheet
for appropriate settings.
User-Supplied I
2
C Interface
To use the MAX7311 EV kit with a user-supplied I
2
C
interface, install shunts on pins 2-3 of JU3 and JU4.
Connect SDA, SCL, and GND lines from the user-
supplied I
2
C interface to the SDA, SCL, and GND pads
on the MAX7311 EV kit. Place a shunt on pins 2-3 of
JU5, cut the trace between pins 1-2 of JU5, and con-
nect a 2V to 5.5V power supply to the VIN pad.
