MAX5661 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
General Description
The MAX5661 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that evaluates the MAX5661,
single, 16-bit DAC with precision high-voltage ampli-
fiers. The MAX5661 EV kit also includes Windows
®
98SE/2000/XP-compatible software, which provides a
simple graphical user interface (GUI) for exercising the
MAX5661’s features.
The MAX5661 evaluation system (EV system) consists
of a MAX5661 EV kit and a Maxim CMAXQUSB+ serial
interface board.
The CMAXQUSB+ board connects to a PC’s USB port
and provides an SPI™ interface that is compatible with
the MAX5661.
Order the complete EV system (MAX5661EVCMAXQU+)
for a comprehensive evaluation of the MAX5661 using a
PC. Order the EV kit (MAX5661EVKIT+) if the CMAXQUSB+
command module has already been purchased with a
previous Maxim EV system or if you already have a
MAX5661-compatible SPI interface.
The EV kit includes a preinstalled MAX5661GCB+.

2) Install the MAX5661 EV kit software on your com-
puter by running the INSTALL.EXE program inside
the temporary folder. The program files are copied
and icons are created in the Windows
Start
menu.
3) Preset the VCC power supply to +5V. Turn off the
power supply.
4) Preset the VDD power supply to +15V. Turn off the
power supply.
5) Preset the VSS power supply to -15V. Turn off the
power supply.
Do not turn on the power supply until all connec-
tions are completed.
6) On the CMAXQUSB+ command module, ensure the
shunt of JU1 is in the 5V position. Refer to
CMAXUSB+ user’s guide.
7) On the EV kit, make sure the shunts of all jumpers
are in positions, as shown in Table 1.
8) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the
MAX5661 EV kit’s 40-pin connector with the
CMAXQUSB+ board’s 40-pin connector. Gently
press them together. The two boards should be
flush against each other.
9) Connect the positive terminal of the VCC power
supply to the VCC pad on the EV kit and connect
the negative terminal of the VCC power supply to
the PGND pad on the EV kit.

10) Connect the positive terminal of the VDD power
supply to both the VDDI and the VDDV pads on the
EV kit and connect the negative terminal of the VDD
power supply to the PGND pad on the EV kit.
11) Connect the NEGATIVE terminal of the VSS power
supply to the VSSV pad on the EV kit and connect
the POSITIVE terminal of the VSS power supply to
the PGND pad on the EV kit.
12) Connect the positive lead of the OUTI voltage meter
to the OUTI pad on the EV kit and connect the neg-
ative lead of the OUTI voltage meter to the GND
pad on the EV kit.
13) Connect the positive lead of the OUTV voltage
meter to the OUTV pad on the EV kit and connect
the negative lead of the OUTV voltage meter to the
GND pad on the EV kit, which is above the OUTV
pad.
14) Connect the positive lead of the OUTI current meter
to the OUTI pad on the EV kit and connect the neg-
ative lead of the current meter to the ILOAD pad on
the EV kit. Remove the shunt of JU6.
15) Turn on all three power supplies. Sequence is not
important.
16) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the
CMAXQUSB+ board.
A Building Driver Database
window should pop up in addition to a
New
Hardware Found
message if this is the first time
the EV kit board is connected to the PC. If you do
not see a window that is similar to the one
described above after 30s, try removing the USB
cable from the CMAXQUSB+ and reconnect it.
Administrator privileges are required to install the
USB device driver on Windows 2000 and XP. Refer
to the document TROUBLESHOOTING_USB.PDF
included with the software if you have any problems
during this step.
17) 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.

Control_Bits Register
The
Control_Bits Register
group box contains 14 indi-
vidual control bits, 4 of them are read only. Under the
Execute Read
button, there is one set of 14 grayed-out
checkboxes that represent the read-back status of those
14 control bits. Under the
Execute Write
button, there is
another set of 14 checkboxes for the user to configure
the IC. Four of them have been grayed out since they are
read only. The name of each checkbox is listed in
between the two columns of checkboxes. On the right
side are the detailed descriptions for each checkbox.
A fault status indicator is located on the right side of the
last three checkboxes. It indicates the current status of
the MAX5661’s

pin and it is updated every sec-
ond. It only works if the
out_fault_en
checkbox has
been checked.
