This quick start includes directions for using only one

MAX6960 EV kit board. See the Cascading MAX6960

EV Kit Boards section when using more than one

MAX6960 EV kit.

Recommended Equipment

• The MAX6960 EV system

MAX6960EVKIT

CMODUSB serial interface board

(USB cable included)

• Power supply: +5V at 2.5A per MAX6960 EV kit

• A user-supplied Windows 98SE/2000/XP PC with USB

Proceedure

Do not turn on the power until all connections are

made.

1) Verify jumper J1 on the CMODUSB board is con-

nected to pins 2-3. This process sets the logic sup-

ply to 3.3V.

2) Verify the following MAX6960 EV kit jumpers are in

the default positions:

JU1: (2-3)

JU10: (2-3)

JU2: (2-3)

JU11: (2-3)

JU3: (1-2)

JU12: (Open)

JU4: (2-3)

JU13: (1-2)

JU5: (2-3)

JU14: (1 only)

JU6: (1-2)

JU15: (1-2)

JU7: (2-3)

JU16: (1-2)

JU8: (2-3)

JU15: (1 only)

JU9: (1-2)
