1 Introduction
The MAXREFDES24EVSYS design accelerator kit allows users to quickly demonstrate and evaluate the
functionality of Maxim Integrated’s 4-channel analog output (AO) reference design
without
the need for a bench power supply, digital multimeter, or Xilinx development kit. The reference board connects
to a PC through an included USB-to-SPI adapter
that provides data communication to the board.
A universal power adapter is included for providing 24V DC power.
To exercise the AO reference design, a USB-powered signal capture board (MAXADCLITE2) utilizing one of
Maxim Integrated’s 12-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) is also included. The simple tool provides two
inputs capable of measuring unipolar analog control signals up to 10V (or 20mA with selectable termination
resistor).
Windows®-based graphical user interfaces (GUIs) communicate with the boards for generating and capturing
various signal test patterns. An intuitive alarm interface is also provided for demonstrating the digital
diagnostics capabilities of the MAX15500 output conditioners.
