MAX1240 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX1240, MAX1241
General Description
The MAX1240 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the
MAX1240, low-power, 12-bit serial ADC. The MAX1240
peripheral module (Pmod™) and the USB2PMB2 module
form a system, the MAX1240 EV kit. Windows XP, and
Windows
®
7/8/8.1/10-compatible software provides a
user friendly interface that demonstrates features of the
MAX1240.
The MAX1240 peripheral module comes installed with the
8-pin SO package, MAX1240ACSA++.

Procedure
1)
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
Visit
http://www.maximintegrated.com/en/design/
tools/applications/evkit-software/
to download the
latest version of the EV kit software, MAX1240EVKit.
zip. Save the EV kit software to a temporary folder
and uncompress the ZIP file.
Align the X2 top row connector of the USB2PMB2
with the J1 connector of the MAX1240 Pmod.
Verify that shunts are in the default position as
shown in
Table 1.
Connect the USB cable from the PC to the
USB2PMB2 board.
Open the GUI, MAX1240EVKit.exe (Figure
1).
Click the
Scan Adapters
button. Then select the
option
PMODxxxxxx
(where xxxxxx is numeric) and
click the
Connect
button.
Connect the a signal source between 0V and 2.5V at
the AIN test point.
Start evaluating the MAX1240 by clicking on the
Sample Continuously
button.
General Description of Software
The main window of the MAX1240 peripheral module
contains controls to evaluate the MAX1240 IC. The
peripheral module GUI allows different sample sizes,
adjustable sampling rates, internal or external reference
options, and graphing that includes ADC count, voltage,
FFT, and histogram of the sampled signal.

Device Setting
The
Device Setting
groupbox is mainly used for changing
the voltage reference. Select between the MAX1240 and
MAX1241, and entered in the appropriate voltage in the
V
REF
edit box. Please see
User-Supplied REF
section.
Sampling
The
Sample
groupbox allows for a single or continuous
sample. It also features adjusting the sampling rate and
sampling up to 16384 samples. The

General Description of Hardware
User-Supplied VDD
The MAX1240 EV kit demonstrate the 12-bit ADC with
2.5V internal reference. The USB2PMB2 module and the
MAX1240 Pmod completes the system. The USB2PMB2
act as the master and generates all the SPI communications.
User-Supplied SPI
To evaluate the EV kit with a user-supplied
SPI
bus, the
connector J1 is a compatible PMod connector. If the
master does not have a compatible PMod connector, then
make connection directly to the SCLK, CSB, DOUT, and
GND test points.
The MAX1240 is powered through USB and regulated to
3.3V by default when a PMod compatible master module
is connected to the J1 connector of the EV kit. For a user-
supplied VDD, a PMod master module is not allowed on
the J1 connector. The user will need to apply a voltage
between +2.7V and +3.6V at the VDD test point.
User-Supplied REF
The internal reference is set at 2.5V. The MAX1240PMB
comes with an on-board MAX6126, 2.048V reference. To
use this feature, a shunt on JU1 header must be installed.
In order to use other external reference option, do not
place shunt on header JU2 and apply 1V to VDD + 50mV
to REF test point.
