Procedure
The MAX97001 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow the steps below to verify board operation:
1) Visit www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware to down-
load the latest version of the EV kit software,
MAX97000_1_2xx.ZIP. Save the EV kit software to a
temporary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.
2) Install the EV kit software on the computer by run-
ning the INSTALL.EXE program inside the temporary
folder.
3) Verify that shunts are installed on jumpers JU1 and
JU2. This configures the I
2
C inputs to receive signals
from the USB interface circuitry.
4) Verify that a shunt is installed on jumper JU3.
5) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the EV kit
board. A New Hardware Found window pops up
when installing the USB driver for the first time.
If a window is not seen that is similar to the one
described above after 30s, remove the USB cable
from the board and reconnect it. Administrator privi-
leges are required to install the USB device driver
on Windows.
6) Follow the directions of the Found New Hardware
window to install the USB device driver. Manually
specify the location of the device driver to be C:\
Program Files\MAX97000_1_2 (default installation
directory) using the Browse button. During device
driver installation, Windows may show a warning
message indicating that the device driver Maxim
uses does not contain a digital signature. This is
not an error condition and it is safe to proceed
with installation. Refer to the USB_Driver_Help.PDF
document included with the software for additional
information.
7) Connect the 5V power supply across the PVDD and
GND pads.
8) Connect the 1.8V power supply across the VDD and
GND pads.
9) Connect the speaker across the OUT+ and OUT-
test points.
10) Connect the headphones to HPJK.
11) Enable the power supplies.
12) Start the MAX97001 EV kit software by selecting its
icon in the Start | Programs menu.
13) Observe as the program automatically detects the
address of the MAX97001 and starts the main program.
14) The MAX97001 is now ready for evaluation.
