The MAX5417L evaluation system (EV system) consists
of a MAX5417L evaluation kit (EV kit) and a companion
command module interface board (CMODUSB).
The MAX5417L EV kit is an assembled and tested
PC board that features the MAX5417L 50kΩ, linear-taper
digital potentiometer. The MAX5417L IC features an internal
nonvolatile EEPROM used to store the potentiometer's
wiper position for initialization during power-up. The
EEPROM is programmed through the I²C-compatible serial
interface, transmitting at rates up to 400kbps. The
MAX5417L is programmed with a factory-preset address
and features an address input for a total of two unique
address combinations. The MAX5417L EV kit can also be
used to evaluate other versions of the MAX5417,
MAX5418 (100kΩ), and MAX5419 (200kΩ) digital
potentiometers.
The EV kit also includes Windows® 98-/2000-/XP-compatible
software that provides a professional user interface
for exercising the MAX5417L's features. The program is
menu-driven and offers a graphical user interface (GUI)
complete with control buttons and a track bar.
The CMODUSB command module allows a personal
computer (PC) to use its USB port to emulate an I²C 2-wire interface. Order the MAX5417LEVCMODU for a
complete PC-based EV kit. Order the MAX5417LEVKIT
if a CMODUSB command module or an I²C-compatible
2-wire interface system has already been purchased
with a Maxim EV system.
