MAX7326 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
General Description
The MAX7326 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that
demonstrates the capabilities of the MAX7326 I
2
C
port expander with 12 push-pull outputs and 4 inputs.
The MAX7326 EV kit also includes Windows
®
2000/XP/Vista-compatible software that provides a
simple graphical user interface (GUI) for exercising the
MAX7326’s features.
The MAX7326 evaluation system (EV system) includes
a MAX7326 EV kit and a Maxim CMAXQUSB serial-
interface board. The CMAXQUSB board connects to a
PC’s USB port and allows the transfer of I
2
C commands
to the MAX7326 EV kit.
The EV kit comes with the MAX7326ATG+ installed.

5) Connect the boards by aligning the MAX7326 EV
kit’s 20-pin connector with the 20-pin connector of
the CMAXQUSB board.
6) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the
CMAXQUSB board. A
Building Driver Database
window pops up in addition to a
New Hardware
Found
message if this is the first time it is used on
this PC. If you do not see a window that is similar to
the one described above after 30s, remove the USB
cable from the CMAXQUSB and reconnect it.
Administrator privileges are required to install the
USB device driver on Windows 2000/XP/Vista.
7) Follow the directions of the

Search for the best driver for your device
option.
Specify the location of the device driver to be
C:\Program Files\MAX7326
(default installation
directory) using the
Browse
button. During device
driver installation, Windows may show a warning
message indicating that the device driver Maxim
uses does not contain a digital signature. This is not
an error condition and it is safe to proceed with
installation. Refer to the USB_Driver_Help.PDF docu-
ment for additional information.
8) Start the MAX7326 EV kit software by opening its
icon in the
Start
menu. The GUI main window will
appear, as shown in Figure 1.
9) Check or uncheck the
O0
and
O1
checkboxes

I2C Addresses Group Box
The

drop-down list automatically
detects the MAX7326’s I

GUI software starts. If multiple devices are connected
to the I

C slave address
according to the shunt position of JU1 and JU2, as
shown in Table 1.
Interrupt Status Group Box
The

MAX7326 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX7326 has 12 push-pull outputs and 4 inputs.
The MAX7326 EV kit board provides a proven layout for
evaluating the MAX7326. The EV kit comes with a
MAX7326ATG+ installed.
Power Supplies
The MAX7326 EV kit can either be powered from the
CMAXQUSB (2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V) or from a user-
supplied 1.71V to 5.5V power supply connecting to
VDD, as shown in Table 3.
If a user-supplied power supply is used, ensure that the
voltage setting is compatible with the CMAXQUSB JU1
setting.
Evaluate: MAX7326
Hardware-Reset Control
The hardware-reset function is controlled by jumper
JU3, as shown in Table 2. Putting a shunt in the 1-2
position resets all registers and puts the device in the
power-on-reset state.

C Interface
To use the MAX7326 EV kit with a user-supplied I

C
interface, install a shunt on jumper JU4’s 1-2 position.
Connect SDA, SCL, and GND lines from the user-
supplied I
2
C interface to the SDA, SCL, and GND pads
on the MAX7326 EV kit. Apply a 1.71V to 5.5V power
supply to the VDD pad of the MAX7326 EV kit.
Depending on the configuration of the user-supplied
I
2
C interface, it may be necessary to install the I
2
C
pullup resistors, R10 and R11.
The combination of shunt positions of jumpers JU1 and
JU2 determine the I
2
C slave address of the MAX7326
EV kit. See Table 1 to select the appropriate setting.
