switch, along the top-edge of the µC module.
Observe the polarity marked on the board.

5) Connect the USBTO232 board to the 68HC16MODULE-

DIP module if you have not done so already.

6) The MAX1402 EV kit software should have already

been downloaded and installed in the USBTO232
Quick Start.

7) Start the MAX1402 program by opening its icon in

the Start | Programs menu.

8) Turn on power supply and slide SW1 to the ON

position on the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module.
Press the OK button to automatically connect and
download the KIT1402.C16 file to the module.

9) When the software successfully establishes com-

munication with the EV kit board, you will see a con-
figuration tool and some other windows. Verify that
the CLKIN and reference voltage settings are cor-
rect. Close or minimize this dialog box.

10) Apply input signals to the inputs labeled

AIN1–AIN5, at the bottom-edge of the MAX1402 EV
kit board. AIN6 is analog common. Observe the
readout on the screen.

Recommended Equipment (RS-232-to-COM

Port/PC Connection Option)

Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• MAX1402 EV system:

MAX1402 EV kit

68HC16MODULE-DIP

• A DC power supply that generates +8VDC to

+12VDC at 30–50mA

• A user-supplied Windows 98/2000/XP computer with

an available serial communications port, preferably a
9-pin plug

• A serial cable to connect the computer’s serial port to

the 68HC16MODULE-DIP

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
98/2000/XP operating system.

Connections and Setup

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 file (if it is a .zip file).

2) Install the MAX1402 EV kit software on your com-

puter by running the INSTALL.EXE program. The
program files are copied and icons are created for
them in the Windows Start | Programs menu.

3) Make sure your 68HC16MODULE-DIP module has

the Rev. 2.0 ROM. The software will not function with
the Rev. 1.0 ROM.

4) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the 40-pin

header of the MAX1402 EV kit with the 40-pin con-
nector of the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module. Gently
press them together. The two boards should be
flush against one another.

5) Connect the DC power source to the µC module at

terminal block J2, located next to the ON/OFF
switch, along the top-edge of the µC module.
Observe the polarity marked on the board.

6) Connect a cable from the computer’s serial port to

the µC module. If using a 9-pin serial port, use a
straight-through, 9-pin female-to-male cable. If the
only available serial port uses a 25-pin connector, a
standard 25-pin-to-9-pin adapter will be required.
The EV kit software checks the modem status lines
(CTS, DSR, and DCD) to confirm that the correct
port has been selected.

7) Start the MAX1402 program by opening its icon in

the Start | Programs menu.

8) Turn the power on and slide SW1 to the ON posi-

tion. Select the correct serial port and press the OK
button. The program will automatically download
KIT1402.C16 to the module.

9) When the software successfully establishes com-

munication with the EV kit board, you will see a con-
figuration tool and some other windows. Verify that
the CLKIN and reference voltage settings are cor-
rect. Close or minimize this dialog box.
