MAX9853 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
General Description
The MAX9853 evaluation system (MAX9853EVCMODU)
consists of a MAX9853 evaluation kit (EV kit), a compan-
ion Maxim command module (CMODUSB) interface
board, and software. The MAX9853 EV kit is a fully
assembled and tested surface-mount printed-circuit
board (PCB) that evaluates the MAX9853 stereo audio
GSM/GPRS/EDGE CODEC with microphone inputs,
DirectDrive
TM
headphone amplifiers, receiver amplifier,
and stereo line outputs. 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 config-
ured 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 sig-
nals. A 3.5mm headphone jack provides easy connec-
tion of headphones to the PCB. The Maxim command
module interface board (CMODUSB) provides I
2
C inter-
face 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 MAX9853. The
program is menu driven and offers a graphical user
interface (GUI) with control buttons and a status display.
The MAX9853EVCMODU includes the EV kit and the
CMODUSB interface board. Order the MAX9853EVKIT if
no Maxim command module interface is needed.
Note:
The MAX9853 EV kit software is provided with the
MAX9853EVKIT; however, the CMODUSB board is required to
interface the EV kit to the computer when using the included
software.

Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
• Computer running Windows 98, 2000, or XP
• Standard USB peripheral cable
• CMODUSB command module
• One 5.0V/1A 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.
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 under-
lined
refers to items from the Windows operating system.
EV Kit Setup
1) Install a shunt on each of the following jumpers:
JU4–JU7, and each row of JU1 across pins 1-2.
2) Connect the 5V power supply between the PMIC
and AGND pads.
3) Carefully align the 20-pin connector of the MAX9853
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 MAX9853 program by opening its icon in
the
Start
menu or launching the executable. Verify
normal device operation by the
Status: MAX9853
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 autosetup feature in the software to auto-
configure the MAX9853.
6) Audio will output at the headphone and line outputs.
7) Repeat steps 1 through 5 using S/PDIF IN2.
Procedure
The MAX9853 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.
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.
