Procedure

The MAX5391L/MAX5391N EV kits are fully assembled

and tested. Follow the steps below to verify board opera-

tion:

1)

load the latest version of the EV kit software, 5391_

Rxx.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 tempo-

rary folder. The program files are copied and icons

are created in the Windows Start_|_Programs menu.

3)

Verify that shunts are correctly installed on the

jumpers, as listed in Table 1, for proper operation

of the EV kit.

4)

Connect the multimeters to measure voltages

across the MAX5391L/MAX5391N (U2) WA and LA

PCB pads and WB and LB PCB pads.

5)

Connect the MINIQUSB+ interface board to the EV

kit J2 and J3 connectors.

6)

Connect the included USB cable from the PC to

the MINIQUSB+ interface board. A Building_Driver_

Database window pops up in addition to a New_

Hardware_ Found message 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 privileges are required

to install the USB device driver on Windows 2000,

Windows XP, and Windows Vista.

7)

Follow the directions of the Add_ New_ Hardware_

Wizard to install the USB device driver. Choose the

Search_for_the_best_driver_for_your_device option.

Specify the location of the device driver to be

C:\Program_Files\MAX5391L or C:\Program_Files\

MAX5391N (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 if you have problems during this step.

8)

Start the EV kit software by opening its icon in the

Start_|_Programs menu.

9)

Observe as the program automatically detects the

USB connection and starts the main program.

10) Using the Device_ Connected combo box, select

MAX5391 from the list and then press the Default

button. The EV kit software main window appears,

as shown in Figure 1.

11) The EV kit is now ready for additional testing.
