MAX33250E Shield
Evaluates: MAX33250E
General Description
The MAX33250E Shield is a fully assembled and
tested PCB that demonstrates the functionality of the
MAX33250E, isolated 2Tx/2Rx RS-232 transceivers,
with a galvanic isolation of 600V
RMS
(60sec) between
the logic UART side and field side. The isolation barrier
protects the logic UART side from electrical transient
strikes from the field side. It also breaks ground loops and
large differences in ground potentials between the two
sides that can potentially corrupt the receiving and sending
of data. The MAX33250E conforms to the EIA/TIA-232E
standard and operates at data rates up to 1Mbps.

The Shield EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow
the steps below to verify board operation:
Place the MAX33250E Shield on a nonconductive
surface to ensure that nothing on the PCB gets
shorted to the workspace.
Make sure all jumpers are in their default positions
as shown in
Table 1.
Connect T1OUT test point to R1IN test point.
Connect T2OUT test point to R2IN test point.
Disable the output of the function generator.
Set the output of the function generator to 500kHz
(min = 0V, max = 5V) square wave.
Connect the positive terminal of the function genera-
tor to T1IN and T2IN test points.
Connect the negative terminal of the function gen-
erator to GNDA connector.
Connect the positive terminal of 5V supply to VCCA_
EXT connector.
Connect the negative terminal of 5V supply to GNDA
connector.
Connect the positive terminal of channel 1 of the
oscilloscope to R1OUT test point.
Connect the negative terminal of channel 1 of the
oscilloscope to GNDA connector.
Connect the positive terminal of channel 2 of the
oscilloscope to R2OUT test point.
Connect the negative terminal of channel 2 of the
oscilloscope to GNDA connector.
Enable the output of the function generator.
Verify 500kHz 5V square waves appear on both
channels of the oscilloscope.

MAX33250E Shield
Evaluates: MAX33250E
Detailed Description of Hardware
Powering the Board
MAX33250E Shield is fully assembled and tested circuit
board for evaluating the MAX33250E 1Mbps, 600V
RMS
isolated RS-232 transceivers. The MAX33250E has 2
transmitters and 2 receivers (2Tx/2Rx). The isolation is
provided by Maxim’s proprietary insulation material that can
withstand 600V
RMS
for 60 seconds. The MAX33250E
conforms to the EIA/TIA-232 standard and operates at
data rates up to 1Mbps over the temperature range of
-40°C to +85°C.
The MAX33250E Shield, with an onboard DB9 connector,
enables Mbed or Arduino platforms to communicate on an
RS-232 bus. DCE/DTE DB9 pinout is selectable with the
SW1 switch. The MAX14850 digital isolator is used as a
level translator with a 3V to 5.5V supply range.
VCCA of MAX33250E can come from external supply or
the Arduino/Mbed platform supply. See
Table 1
for jumper
settings to select appropriate VCCA source.
The MAX33250E Shield has an on-board isolated power
supply that generates an isolated supply for VCCB. If the
shield board is connected to a Arduino/Mbed platform,
input of the isolated power supply is connected to the 5V
output (pin 4 of J3) of the Arduino/Mbed platform. The
voltage generated on the isolated output is same as the
input. See
Table 1
for jumper settings to select appropriate
VCCB source.
