MAX196 Evaluation Kit
_______________General Description
The MAX196 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled and
tested board for prototyping designs using the MAX196
12-bit, multi-range data-acquisition system (DAS). The
board includes voltage buffers for all six analog input
channels, and is designed to be operated in a stand-
alone demo mode using a binary LED readout. It can
be adapted to a user-provided 16-bit microprocessor
(µP) bus. The EV kit requires a +5V power supply for
the MAX196 and ±15V power supplies for the op amps.
The MAX196 EV kit evaluates both the MAX196 and the
MAX198. To evaluate the MAX198, order a free sample
of the MAX198BCNI along with the MAX196 EV kit.
Maxim also offers a complete µP-based EV system for
the 8-bit interface version of this device, the MAX197.
Refer to the MAX197 EV kit manual.

_______________Detailed Description
Stand-Alone Demo Circuit Operation
The demo circuit is a state-machine driven by a 1kHz
system clock that generates the RD, WR, and INT puls-
es. The circuit runs continuously, writing the command
word programmed by the jumpers, and displaying the
results on the LEDs.
At power-up, R3 and C8 reset flip-flop, U2, generating a
WR pulse. On the rising edge of WR, the MAX196 latches
the command word selected by JU4–JU11. The rising
edge of the system clock sets WR high, initiating a con-
version. When the MAX196 completes the conversion, the
MAX196 drives INT low. After INT falls, RD goes low at
the next rising edge of the system clock, placing the data
onto the data bus. When RD goes low, INT goes high, so
that the next system clock cycle drives RD high. RD’s ris-
ing edge latches the data into U6 and U7. U8 and U9
drive the LED display. After RD returns high, WR goes
low, and the cycle repeats (Figure 1).
_________________________Quick Start
The MAX196 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow these steps to verify board operation.
Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
1) Connect a +5V supply to the pad labeled +5V, and
connect the ground return to the pad labeled GND.
2) Connect ±15V supplies to the pads labeled, respec-
tively, OPAMPV+ and OPAMPV-. Connect the power
supply’s common terminal to the EV kit’s GND pad.
3) Set configuration jumpers as shown in Table 1. This
selects channel 0 with a ±10V input range and puts
the device in no power-down/internal clock mode.
4) Apply an input signal to the “high-Z” channel 0 input
pad located at the far-right side of the board.
5) Turn on the power supplies.
6) Observe binary readout on the twelve LEDs.

Optional Input Buffers
The op amp buffers are MXL1014 precision quad op
amps, connected in voltage-follower configurations.
These op amps should normally be powered from ±15V
(±22V absolute maximum). Applications that use only
0V to 4V signals may power the MXL1014 from ±5V
with good results.
The MAX196 should be driven from a low output
impedance signal source (such as an op amp). To use
the on-board op amps, drive the HI-Z CH0–CH5 input
pads. When using an off-board low-impedance source,
unplug the MXL1014s and drive the DIRECT CH0–CH5
input pads.

Using an External Clock
As shipped from the factory, the MAX196 EV kit uses
C1 as a timing capacitor for internal clock mode. To
use an external clock, cut JU1 and apply the external
clock source to the EXTCLK input pad. Start up the kit
with JU4 (PD1) and JU5 (PD0) shorted.
Configuring the MAX196
Tables 2, 3, and 4 show the jumper connections for the
different operating modes of the MAX196 EV kit. Refer
to Table 2 for clock and power-down modes, Table 3
for input range selection, and Table 4 for channel
selection.
Evaluating the MAX198
To evaluate the MAX198, remove the MAX196 and
replace it with a MAX198BCNI.

Interfacing to a 16-Bit Bus
The MAX196/MAX198 are designed to connect directly
to a 16-bit µP bus using standard chip-select (CS),
read strobe (RD), and write strobe (WR) signals. JU2,
JU3, and JU12 must be cut to disable the stand-alone
circuit (Table 5). All interface signals are provided on
header H1. For interface details, refer to the
MAX196/MAX198 data sheet.
