MAX9599 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX9599
General Description
The MAX9599 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the
MAX9599 multiple programmable reference voltages
for gamma correction in TFT-LCD panels such as those
found in notebook and tablet displays. The device
has multiple-time-programmable (MTP) memory to store
the reference data and all the gamma output codes
(14 channels). This feature can be demonstrated through
the EV kit software.
The EV kit is configured to operate entirely from the
USB power and thus no external supply is required. For
current measurements or isolated supplies, jumpers are
provided for a user-supplied power source.
The EV kit features a USB-to-I
2
C interface circuit. The
EV kit features Windows XP
M
-, Windows Vista
M
-, and
Windows
M
7-compatible software with a graphical user
interface (GUI) for exercising the features of the device.
The EV kit can also connect to a user-supplied I
2
C
interface circuit for stand-alone operation.

Quick Start
• MAX9599 EV kit (USB cable included)
7) Adjust the
Ch1
scrollbar to the desired output voltage.
8) Verify that the PL_GMA1 output voltage is close to the
voltage shown in the
Ch1 Output (V)
edit box.
9) Repeat for other channels.
Required Equipment
• User-supplied Windows XP, Windows Vista, or
Windows 7 PC with a spare USB port
• Digital voltmeter (DVM)
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 operating system.
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
Detailed Description of Software
The main window of the MAX9599 EV kit software
(Figure 1) displays the register values and output voltages
for the programmable reference voltage and all DAC
channels. Other features include DAC and MTP output
selection, register addressing mode, saving, and loading
register values.
The device features a programmable reference voltage.
The voltage can be adjusted by moving the scrollbar,
typing into the
Reg Value
or
Output (V)
edit boxes within
the
Reference
group box.
The
Output Select
group box determines where the
gamma output codes are sent. The gamma output codes
can be sent to the DAC, or stored in the MTP memory for
later use. Select the
DAC
radio button to send the codes
directly to the gamma buffer; select the
MTP
radio button
to store the codes in the MTP memory.
The
Register Addressing Mode
group box determines
how the register values are written to the device’s gamma
channels. The register values can be written individually,
or to the reference and all 14 channels simultaneously.
Select the
Single
radio button to write to an individual
channel. Select the
Burst
radio button to write to the
reference and all 14 channels simultaneously.
Each DAC channel’s register value can be set in three
different ways within the
DAC Channels
group box as
follows:
1) Moving the channel’s scrollbar.
2) Typing register values directly into the channel’s
Reg
Value
edit box (decimal 10-bit equivalent).
3) Typing the expected output voltage in the channel’s
Output (V)
edit box. The software uses a register
value that generates a voltage closest to the desired
voltage value.
Procedure
Reference
1) Visit
www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware
to download
the latest version of the EV kit software, 9599Rxx.ZIP.
Save the EV kit software to a temporary folder and
uncompress the ZIP file.
2) Install the EV kit software and USB driver on your
computer by running the INSTALL.EXE program
inside the temporary folder. The program files are
copied to your PC and icons are created in the
Windows
Start | Programs
menu. During software
installation, some versions of Windows may show a
warning message indicating that this software is from
an unknown publisher. This is not an error condition
and it is safe to proceed with installation. Administrator
privileges are required to install the USB device driver
on Windows.
3) Verify that all jumpers are in their default positions, as
shown in Table 1.
4) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the EV kit board.
A Windows message appears when connecting the
EV kit board to the PC for the first time. Each version
of Windows has a slightly different message. If you
see a Windows message stating
ready to use,
then proceed to the next step; otherwise, open the
USB_Driver_Help_200.PDF document in the Windows
Start | Programs
menu to verify that the USB driver
was installed successfully.
5) Start the EV kit software by opening its icon in the
Start | Programs
menu. The EV kit software main
window appears, as shown in Figure 1.
6) Connect the DVM negative terminal to an GND PCB
pad on the EV kit and use the positive terminal of the
DVM to measure the gamma output voltage on the
PL_GMA1 test point.

When the
DAC
and
Single
radio buttons are selected
(Figure 1), the steps above change its register value
instantaneously. When the
DAC
and
Burst
radio buttons
are selected, the
Load All Values To Registers
button
is enabled. When a register value is changed, the
corresponding field changes its color to red. A user must
synchronize the GUI fields and actual device registers
by pressing the
Load All Values To Registers
button.
