Evaluating the MAX4207
(Dual-Supply Operation)
1) Verify that there is no shunt across jumpers JU1,
JU9, and JU10 (dual-supply operation).
2) Verify that there is a shunt across JU11 (sets
CMVIN = CMVOUT).
3) Verify that shunts are connected across jumpers
JU2 (pins 2 and 3), JU4 (pins 1 and 4), JU5 (pins 1
and 2), and JU7 (pins 2 and 3); and JU6 is open
(sets output scale factor K = 1V/decade).
4) Verify that shunts are connected across jumpers
JU8 (pins 2 and 3) and JU3 (pins 1 and 3) (sets on-
board reference current = 100nA).
5) Connect a +5V power supply to the VCC pad.
Connect the power-supply ground to the GND pad.
Connect a -5V power supply to the VEE 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.
Output Offset Adjustment (MAX4207)
The MAX4207 accepts a large output-offset voltage
adjustment at the inverting configuration. To adjust the
output offset voltage, install a resistor on R3 and poten-
tiometer on R4 pads, and make sure there is a shunt
across JU2 (pins 1 and 2). The magnitude of the offset
voltage is given by the following equation:
V
OS
= REFOUT x (R4 / (R3 + R4)) x (1 + R
COMB
/ R6)
where V
OS
is the desired offset voltage, and R
COMB
is
the effective resistance between the LOGV2 and
SCALE pins.
