MAX31865PMB1 Peripheral Module
Evaluates: MAX31865
General Description
The MAX31865PMB1 peripheral module (Pmod™) pro-
vides the necessary hardware to interface the MAX31865
RTD-to-digital converter to any system that utilizes Pmod-
compatible expansion ports configurable for SPI com-
munication. The IC is an easy-to-use resistance-to-digital
converter optimized for platinum resistance temperature
detectors (RTDs). This module is set up to operate with a
PT100 platinum RTD.
For full range accuracies, other RTD types, and detailed
information regarding operation of the IC, refer to the
MAX31865 IC data sheet.

Detailed Description
SPI Interface
The MAX31865PMB1 Pmod can plug directly into a
Pmod-compatible port (configured for SPI) through
connector J1. For information on the SPI protocol, refer to
the MAX31865 IC data sheet.
J1 provides connection of the module to the Pmod host.
The pin functions and pin assignments adhere to the
Pmod standard recommended by Digilent. See
Table 1
for
detailed descriptions.
J2
Two jumpers at J2 are provided to select either 2-wire
or 3-wire RTD configuration. For 2-wire RTD, install both
jumpers, from 1-2 and 3-4. For 3-wire RTD, install jumper
from 3-4 only.
Power Supplies
The Pmod is powered directly by the +3.3V power supply
from the MAXUSB2PMB Munich board, pins 6 and 12 of
connector J1.
CON1
Connector CON1 provides connection to the IC pins, as
follows:
●
Connector CON1 pin 1 connects to FORCE+ and
FORCE2 (pins 5 and 6) of the IC.
●
Connector CON1 pin 2 connects to RTDIN+ (pin 7)
of the IC.
●
Connector CON1 pin 3 connects to RTDIN- (pin 8) of
the IC.
●
Connector CON1 pin 4 connects to FORCE- (pin 9)
of the IC.
Software Graphical User
Interface (GUI)
The Munich GUI is provided to facilitate the evaluation of
the Pmod.
