MAX9851 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
General Description
The MAX9851 evaluation system (MAX9851EVCMODU)
consists of a MAX9851 evaluation kit (EV kit), a compan-
ion Maxim command module (CMODUSB) interface
board, and software. The MAX9851 EV kit is a fully
assembled and tested surface-mount printed-circuit
board (PCB) that evaluates the MAX9851 stereo audio
GSM/GPRS/EDGE CODEC with microphone inputs,
DirectDrive
TM
headphone amplifiers, receiver amplifier,
and stereo speaker amplifiers. The EV kit is designed to
send and receive digital audio data in the Sony/Philips
digital interface (S/PDIF) format and can be optionally
configured to communicate using generic digital audio
or I
2
S-compatible signals. The EV kit provides RCA jacks
for connecting analog input signals and digital S/PDIF
signals. A 3.5mm headphone jack provides easy con-
nection of headphones to the PCB. The Maxim com-
mand module interface board (CMODUSB) provides an
I
2
C interface through a PC serial or USB port. Windows
®
98/2000/XP-compatible software, which can be down-
loaded from the Maxim website, provides a user-friendly
interface to exercise the features of the MAX9851. The
program is menu driven and offers a graphical user inter-
face (GUI) with control buttons and a status display. The
MAX9851EVCMODU includes the EV kit and the
CMODUSB interface board. Order the MAX9851EVKIT if
no Maxim command module interface is needed.
Note:
The MAX9851 EV kit software is provided with the
MAX9851EVKIT; however, the CMODUSB board is required to
interface the EV kit to the computer when using the included
software.

MAX9851 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
Evaluate: MAX9851
Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
• Computer running Windows 98, 2000, or XP
• Standard USB peripheral cable
• CMODUSB command module
• One 5.0V/2A DC power supply
• One pair of headphones (16Ω or greater)
• One analog audio source
• Three RCA interconnect cables
Refer to the MAX9851/MAX9853 data sheet while using this
EV kit for detailed descriptions of the CODEC’s features.
3) Carefully align the 20-pin connector of the
MAX9851 EV kit with the 20-pin header of the
CMODUSB interface board. Gently press them
together.
4) Launch the INSTALL.EXE on the included CD to
copy the files, install drivers for the CMODUSB
board, and create icons in the Windows 98/2000/XP
Start menu.
5) Turn on the 5.0V power supply.
6) Connect the USB cable between the PC USB port
and the CMODUSB command module.
7) Start the MAX9851 program by opening its icon in
the Start menu or launching the executable. Verify
normal device operation by the “Status: MAX9851
Operational” text in the Interface box.
Verification of Board Operation
1) Connect a single RCA cable between S/PDIF IN1
and S/PDIF OUT.
2) Connect a stereo analog audio source to LINEIN1
and LINEIN2.
3) Insert a pair of headphones into the HEADPHONE jack.
4) Enable the stereo audio source.
5) Use the auto-setup feature in the software to auto-
configure the MAX9851.
6) Audio will output at the headphone and speaker
amplifiers.
7) Repeat steps 1 through 5 using S/PDIF IN2.
Procedure
The MAX9851 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation in an
analog input, digital loopback, analog output mode.
Once the board has been set up, verify that the board
is operating properly before beginning an evaluation.
Do not turn on the power supply until all connec-
tions are completed.
Command Module Setup
1) Set both switches (SW1) to the ‘on’ position to
enable the SDA/SCL pullup resistors on the com-
mand module.
2) Install a shunt across pins 2-3 of the VDD select
jumper (J1) to set the command module working
voltage to 3.3V.
3) To avoid damaging the EV kit or the computer, do
not connect the USB cable until power has been
applied to the EV kit.
EV Kit Setup
1) Install a shunt on each of the following jumpers:
JU4, JU5, JU6, JU7, and each row of JU1 across
pins 1-2.
2) Connect the 5V power supply between the PMIC
and AGND pads.
Detailed Description of Software
Autosetup
Click the
Auto-Setup
button to allow the EV kit to auto-
matically detect incoming digital signals and configure
itself appropriately. The software follows the flow chart
in Figure 1 during autosetup.
