Maxim Integrated MAX1402 User Manual
General Description
The MAX1402 evaluation system (EV system) is a complete, multichannel data-acquisition system consisting of
a MAX1402 evaluation kit (EV kit), Maxim 68HC16 microcontroller (µC) module, and USBT0232. The MAX1402 is
a low-power, multichannel, serial-output analog to digital
converter (ADC). Windows
®
98/2000/XP-compatible software provides a handy user interface to exercise the
MAX1402’s features. Source code in C++ and 68HC11
assembly language is provided for the low-level portion of
the software.
Order the EV system for comprehensive evaluation of
the MAX1402 using a personal computer. Order only
the EV kit if the 68HC16 µC module has already been
purchased with a previous Maxim EV system, or for
custom use in other µC-based systems.
The MAX1402 EV kit and EV system can also be used
to evaluate the MAX1400. Simply order a free sample of
the MAX1400CAI along with the MAX1402 EV kit.
MAX1402 Stand-Alone EV Kit
The MAX1402 EV kit provides a proven printed-circuit
board (PCB) layout to facilitate evaluation of the
MAX1402 with user-supplied software and hardware. It
must be interfaced to appropriate timing signals for

• MAX1402 EV system:
MAX1402 EV kit
68HC16MODULE-DIP
• A DC power supply that generates +8VDC to
+12VDC at 30–50mA
• A user-supplied Windows 98/2000/XP computer with
an available serial communications port, preferably a
9-pin plug
• A serial cable to connect the computer’s serial port to
the 68HC16MODULE-DIP

Connections and Setup
1) Visit the Maxim website (www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware) to download the latest version of the EV
kit software. Save the EV kit software to a temporary
folder and uncompress the file (if it is a .zip file).
2) Install the MAX1402 EV kit software on your computer by running the INSTALL.EXE program. The
program files are copied and icons are created for
them in the Windows Start | Programs menu.
3) Make sure your 68HC16MODULE-DIP module has
the Rev. 2.0 ROM. The software will not function with
the Rev. 1.0 ROM.
4) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the 40-pin
header of the MAX1402 EV kit with the 40-pin connector of the 68HC16MODULE-DIP module. Gently
press them together. The two boards should be
flush against one another.
5) Connect the DC power source to the µC module at
terminal block J2, located next to the ON/OFF
switch, along the top-edge of the µC module.
Observe the polarity marked on the board.
6) Connect a cable from the computer’s serial port to
the µC module. If using a 9-pin serial port, use a
straight-through, 9-pin female-to-male cable. If the
only available serial port uses a 25-pin connector, a
standard 25-pin-to-9-pin adapter will be required.
The EV kit software checks the modem status lines
(CTS, DSR, and DCD) to confirm that the correct
port has been selected.
7) Start the MAX1402 program by opening its icon in
the Start | Programs
menu.
8) Turn the power on and slide SW1 to the ON position. Select the correct serial port and press the OK
button. The program will automatically download
KIT1402.C16 to the module.
9) When the software successfully establishes communication with the EV kit board, you will see a configuration tool and some other windows. Verify that
the CLKIN and reference voltage settings are correct. Close or minimize this dialog box.

Upgrading the 68HC16 Module
The MAX1402 EV kit requires Rev. 2.0 of the Maxim
68HC16 Module ROM. Check the label on device U3
on the module; if its label says Rev. 1.0, contact the
factory for a replacement.
To install the new ROM, use the following procedure.
Use antistatic handling precautions. To reduce the risk
of ESD damage, gather all required materials and perform the installation at one sitting:
1) Slide the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2) Using a flat-blade screwdriver, gently pry U3, the
REV 1.0 ROM, out of its socket.
3) Remove the REV 2.0 ROM from its antistatic packaging.
4) Align the REV 2.0 ROM in the U3 socket pins.
Observe correct polarity (the notch at the top of the
ROM). Verify that the pins are lined up with the
socket, and gently press the ROM into place.
Proceed to the regular Quick Start instructions.
Detailed Description
_________________________of Software
The MAX1402 digitizes up to seven inputs. The various
program functions are grouped into windows, which are
accessible from the Show menu on the main menu bar.
Main Display
The main display shows the calculated input voltage
and raw A/D output code for each active channel.
Although there are nine input channels, only certain
configurations are allowed.
Select any single channel or one of the scanning
sequences from the Inputs menu. AIN 1-6 designates
an analog input between the AIN1 pin and the AIN6 pin.
CALOFF designates the signal between the CALOFF+
and CALOFF- pins. CALGAIN designates the signal
between the CALGAIN+ and CALGAIN- pins.
The EV kit software assumes that CALOFF+ and
CALOFF- are grounded so that CALOFF measures zero
volts. Similarly, the software assumes that CALGAIN+ is
connected to REFIN+ and CALGAIN- is connected to
REFIN- so that CALGAIN measures the reference voltage. These two points calibrate the code-to-voltage
translation function performed in the software.
The MAX1400/MAX1402 automatically triggers its measurements, unless the FSYNC control bit is set. The
evaluation kit software communicates with the
MAX1400/MAX1402 at intervals determined by the
Update Every combo box. To halt this automatic update,
uncheck the Update Every checkbox or change the
Update Every to a value between 100ms and 60000ms.
Normally, the microcontroller collects new data as soon
as it becomes available, by using the INT pin to trigger
an interrupt service routine. If the INT pin is not used as
an interrupt, then the MAX1400 must not be operated in
free-running mode. Check or uncheck the Use INT
Interrupt checkbox to configure the evaluation kit software.
Configuration Tool
The Configuration Tool controls parameters that apply
to the entire EV kit. Like the other windows, the
Configuration Tool can be activated from the Show
menu of the main menu bar. The CLK control should
match the external ceramic resonator or crystal that
sets the master clock frequency. The VREF Reference
Voltage control tells the software what the reference
voltage is. This is used to convert the raw A/D output
codes into the corresponding input voltage to speed
user evaluation. The Data Rate control determines how
often the MAX1402 performs a measurement. Some
data rates provide 16-bit, noise-free resolution when
used with the SINC3 filter (discussed below). The Filter
Sync control can be used to inhibit the MAX1402 from
performing its self-timed measurements. The Buffer
Inputs checkbox enables the internal input buffers. The
Burnout Test Currents checkbox enables two small
(0.1µA) current sources to provide an input stimulus.
When used with a transducer, these current sources
can be used to verify that the transducer has not failed
open or short circuit.
At the bottom of the window, there are input voltage
range selection buttons. These buttons configure all
input channels for the same input voltage range.
Although the MAX1400/MAX1402 can be operated with
three different input ranges at the same time, the evaluation kit software only supports a single range for all
channels.
The digital filter on the MAX1402 can be configured for
SINC
3
or SINC1operation, which affects the filter cutoff
frequency. (SINC' means SIN(X) ÷ X, and SINC3means
(SIN(X) ÷ X)3.) The SINC3filter is required for 16-bit accuracy. The SINC1filter provides faster settling time with less
accuracy. Alternatively, the raw modulator output can be
driven out the DOUT pin; however, the EV kit software
cannot read data from the MAX1402 in this mode.
