Datasheet
Evaluates: MAX4206/MAX4207
Quick Start
The MAX4206 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested
surface-mount board. Follow the steps below for board
operation. Do not turn on the power supply until all
connections are complete.
Recommended Equipment
• Current source capable of sourcing 10nA to 1mA
current
• Single +2.7V to +11V, 20mA DC power supply
Evaluating the MAX4206 with
Single Supply
1) Verify that shunts are connected across jumpers
JU1 and JU11 (single-supply operation, sets
CMVIN = CMVOUT).
2) Verify that shunts are connected across jumpers
JU4 (pins 1 and 4), JU5 (pins 2 and 3), JU6, and
JU7 (pins 1 and 2) (sets output scale factor K =
1V/decade).
3) Verify that shunts are connected across jumpers
JU8 (pins 2 and 3) and JU3 (pins 1 and 3) (sets on-
board reference current = 100nA).
4) Verify that there is no shunt across jumpers JU2,
JU9, and JU10.
5) Connect a +5V power supply to the VCC pad.
Connect the power-supply ground to the GND pad.
6) Connect a 100µA current source to the LOGIIN pad.
7) Turn on the power supply and verify the output volt-
ages LOGV1 = 0.75V and LOGV2 = 3.00V.
Note: For dual-supply operation, JU1 should be open.
Reset the V
CC
and V
DD
to within operation range.
Detailed Description
Jumper Selection
Jumper JU3 controls the REFISET pin of the MAX4206/
MAX4207 device. See Table 1 for JU3 function.
