Quick Start

Recommended Equipment

• DC power supplies:

Analog (VDD)

+3.0V, 100mA

Clock (CVDD)

+3.0V, 100mA

Digital (OVDD)

+1.8V, 100mA

Op-amp positive (VOP)

5.0V, 250mA

Op-amp negative (VON)

-5.0V, 250mA

• Signal generator with low phase noise and low jitter

for clock input signal (e.g., HP/Agilent 8662A,

HP/Agilent 8644B)

• Two signal generators with low phase noise for ana-

log signal inputs (e.g., HP/Agilent 8662A, HP/Agilent

8644B)

• Logic analyzer or data-acquisition system with one

data pod (e.g., HP/Agilent 16500C, TLA621)

• Analog bandpass filters (e.g., Allen Avionics, K&L

Microwave) for input and clock signal

• Two spectrum analyzers (e.g., HP/Agilent 8560E)

• One digital pattern generator with one 10-bit data

pod (e.g., Tektronix DG2020A)

Procedure

The MAX19710–MAX19713 EV kits are fully assembled

and tested surface-mount boards. Follow the steps below

to verify board operation. Caution: Do not turn on

power supplies or enable signal/data generators until

all connections are completed.

Note: In the following sections, software-related items

are identified by bolding. Text in bold refers to items

directly from the EV kit software. Text in bold and

underlined refers to items from the Windows

98SE/2000/XP operating system.

Command Module Setup (CMODUSB)

1) Visit the Maxim website (www.maxim-ic.com/evkit-

software) to download the latest version of the EV

kit software. Save the EV kit software to a temporary

folder and uncompress the ZIP file.

2) Install the EV kit software on your computer by run-

ning the INSTALL.EXE program inside the temporary

folder. The program files are copied and icons are

created in the Windows Start | Programs menu.

3) Place a shunt across pins 2-3 of the VDD select

jumper (command module working voltage set

to 3.3V).

4) Connect a USB cable from the computer’s USB

port to the command module (CMODUSB) interface

board. Use a standard USB A-B cable. A Building
