19-1509; Rev 0; 7/99 MAX1618 Evaluation System/Evaluation Kit The MAX1618 evaluation system (EV system) consists of a MAX1618 evaluation kit (EV kit) and a companion Maxim SMBusTM Interface Board. The MAX1618 EV kit is an assembled and tested PC board that demonstrates the MAX1618 temperature sensor. It monitors the temperature of an external diode-connected transistor and converts the temperature to 8-bit, 2-wire serial data. A 2N3904 temperaturesensor transistor comes soldered to the board in a SOT23 package, but it can be removed. The board can then be connected through a twisted pair to a remote diode closer to your system. The Maxim SMBus Interface Board (MAXSMBUS) allows an IBM-compatible PC to use its parallel port to emulate an Intel System Management Bus (SMBus) 2-wire interface. Windows (R) 3.1/95/98 software provides a userfriendly interface to exercise the features of the MAX1618. The program is menu driven and offers a graphic interface with control buttons and status display. Order the MAX1618EVSYS for complete IBM PC-based evaluation of the MAX1618. Order the MAX1618EVKIT if you already have an SMBus interface.

Evaluates: MAX1618 General Description Evaluates: MAX1618 MAX1618 Evaluation System/Evaluation Kit Quick Start 8) Start the MAX1618 program by opening its icon in the Program Manager (or Start Menu). Equipment Required 9) When the program prompts you, select the correct parallel port. An autodetect routine identifies the port to which the EV kit is connected and selects it as the default choice by highlighting it. Verify that the correct port is highlighted, then select "OK." 10) Observe as the program automatically detects the address of the MAX1618 and starts the main program. Before you begin, you will need the following equipment: * An IBM PC-compatible computer capable of running Windows 3.1/95/98 * A parallel printer port (this is a 25-pin socket on the back of the computer) * A standard 25-pin, straight-through male-to-female cable to connect the computer's parallel port to the Maxim SMBus Interface Board * A DC power supply capable of supplying +7V to +20V at 100mA Detailed Description Procedure The user interface is easy to operate; use the mouse, or press the Tab key to navigate with the arrow keys (Figure 1). Each of the buttons corresponds to bits in the command and configuration bytes. Click on them to generate the correct SMBus write operation to update the internal registers. The program continually polls the device for new temperature data and status, and monitors for alert conditions. To change the T HIGH and TLOW alarm-threshold comparison registers, select the appropriate data field and type in the new value. Press Enter after typing in the new values to update the internal registers. 1) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the 20-pin connector of the MAX1618 EV kit with the 20-pin header of the MAXSMBUS interface board. Gently press them together. The two boards should be flush against each other. Make sure switch SW1 on the MAX1618 EV kit is in the OFF position. Do not turn on the power until all connections are made. 2) Connect a +7V to +20V DC power supply to the pads labeled POS9 and GND1 of the SMBus interface board. 3) Make sure JU3 is set to the 2-3 position. 4) Connect a cable from the computer's parallel port to the SMBus interface board. Use a 25-pin straight-through, female-to-male cable. To avoid damaging the EV kit or your computer, do not use a 25-pin SCSI port or any other connector that is physically similar to the 25-pin parallel printer port. 5) The MAX1618.EXE software program can be run from the floppy or hard drive. Use the Windows Program Manager to run the program. If desired, you may use the INSTALL.EXE program to copy the files and create icons for them in the Windows 3.1 Program Manager (or the Windows 95/98 Start Menu). An uninstall program is included with the software. Click on the UNINSTALL icon to remove the EV kit software from the hard drive. Note: The MAX1618 reads the address select pins at device power-up only. User-Interface Panel To make single-shot conversions, click in the Stop check box under Configuration, then click on the Measure Now button. Single-shot conversions can also be performed while the device is autoconverting. The singleshot command overrides the automatic conversion. After the single shot is complete, the device returns to automatic operation. If an interrupt condition is generated by the temperature crossing one of the alarm threshold levels, a message appears in the alert box: "ALERT! INT = LOW." To clear the interrupt, first eliminate the condition that caused it, then click on Read Alert. This action reads the Alert Response address, returns the value of the current MAX1618 slave address, and clears the interrupt. Note: The 7 most significant bits (MSBs) are the address. The least significant bit (LSB) is the read/write status. 6) Turn on the power supply. 7) Turn the EV kit on by moving SW1 to the ON position. 2 _______________________________________________________________________________________ MAX1618 Evaluation System/Evaluation Kit Evaluates: MAX1618 Figure 1. Main Display for MAX1618 EV Kit Simple SMBus Commands Data Logging There are two methods for communicating with the MAX1618: through the normal user-interface panel, or through the simple SMBus commands available from the SMBus pull-down menu. The menu lists simple SMBus protocols, such as Read Byte and Write Byte. To stop normal user-interface execution so that it does not override the manually set values, turn off the update timer that slaves the program to the conversion rate by clicking in the Automatically Update Displays check box. The SMBus dialog boxes accept numeric data in binary, decimal, or hexadecimal. Prefix hexadecimal numbers by $ or 0x. Binary numbers must be exactly eight digits. Note: In places where the slave address asks for an 8bit value, it must be the 7-bit slave address of the MAX1618 as determined by ADD0 and ADD1, with the last LSB bit always set to 1. Data-logging commands are accessed through the pull-down menu labeled MAX1618. Data logging saves temperature data to a text file that includes a time/date stamp next to each data point. Due to the high conversion rate of the MAX1618, not every data point is logged, depending on the speed of the disk drive where the file is being written. To stop data logging, deselect Logging from the pull-down menu. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3 Evaluates: MAX1618 MAX1618 Evaluation System/Evaluation Kit Table 1.

The default address is 1001 110 (ADD0 = ADD1 = VCC). JU1 corresponds to ADD0 and JU2 corresponds to ADD1; see Table 1 for a complete list of addresses. The MAX1618 must undergo a power-on reset for the new address to become effective. The +5V supply voltage for the MAX1618 comes from the SMBus interface board. To evaluate the MAX1618 with a different voltage, cut the trace shorting the two pins of JU4 and apply a voltage to the pad labeled VCC. The MAX1618 can be placed in standby mode using jumper JU3. See Table 2 for jumper settings. A slide switch, SW1, is provided as a means to force a power-on reset of the MAX1618. This switch disables power to the device. Table 2.
