MAX14983E Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX14983E
General Description
The MAX14983E evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully
assembled and tested surface-mount PCB that utilizes the
MAX14983E VGA multiplexer to implement a 1:2 video
graphics array circuit. The IC switches graphics signals
between a controller and two outputs.
VGA input /output connections are provided to easily
interface the EV kit with VGA-compatible devices. The
EV kit provides LEDs to indicate the status of the monitor-
detection outputs. The EV kit operates with a single 5V
supply input.

MAX14983E Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX14983E
Quick Start
• MAX14983E EV kit
Detailed Description
The MAX14983E EV kit evaluates the MAX14983E enhanced
1:2 VGA mux with monitor detection and priority port logic.
VGA connectors are provided to easily interface the EV kit
with VGA devices. The EV kit provides jumpers to control
the enable inputs. The EV kit also provides status LEDs to
monitor the monitor-detection outputs. The EV kit operates
from a single 5V power supply.
The EV kit provides jumpers JU1 and JU2 to control
device enable inputs
EN1
and
EN2,
respectively. The
enable inputs control the high-bandwidth switches to
route the standard VGA R, G, and B signals. Assert
EN1
to connect the graphics controller to the monitor on
port 1. Assert
EN2
to connect the graphics controller to
the monitor on port 2. Table 1 summarizes the device’s
channel selection.
Recommended Equipment
• Single 5V power supply
• VGA-compatible output (e.g., notebook computer
docking stations)
• VGA-compatible input (e.g., monitor)
The EV kit is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount
PCB. Follow the steps below to verify board operation:
1) Verify that jumpers are configured in the following
positions:
JU1, JU2: Pins 2-3
JU3, JU4: Not installed
2) Connect the positive terminal of the 5V power
supply to the VCC test point on the EV kit. Connect the
negative terminal of the power supply to the GND test
point on the EV kit.
3) Connect the VGA source to connector J0 (VGA host).
4) Connect the VGA output to connector J1 (VGA
monitor 1).
5) Enable the 5V power supply.
6) Enable the VGA source.
7) Visually verify that the VGA monitor shows the infor-
mation from the source.
8) See Table 1 for other states of the VGA controller.
Procedure
Enable Inputs (Channel Selection)
The EV kit provides LEDs (D5, D6, D7) to indicate the
status of the device’s three monitor-detection outputs
(MD1,
MD2,
and
MDOR).
When any of the monitor-detec-
tion outputs are asserted, its respective LED turns on.
Monitor Detection and
Automatic Switching
The device automatically switches the graphics controller
to the monitor that is plugged in when configured in auto-
matic mode. To configure automatic mode, leave jumpers
JU1 and JU2 open and place shunts on both jumpers
JU3 and JU4. This connects
MD1
and
MD2
to
EN1
and
EN2,
respectively. If a monitor is detected in both VGA
ports simultaneously, the multiplexer defaults to port 1.
Table 2 summarizes the device’s monitor-detection feature.
