MAXSANTAFEEVSYS User Manual
1 Introduction
The MAXSANTAFEEVSYS kit allows users to quickly demonstrate and evaluate the functionality of the
MAXREFDES5 4-channel analog front-end (AFE) reference des ig n without the need for a benc h po wer supp l y,
signal generator equipm ent, or Xilinx develo pment kit. The referenc e design board c onnects to a PC through
an included USB-to-SPI adaptor that pr ovides both power and data com munication to the board. To test the
AFE reference design, a USB-powered signal generator board utilizing one of Maxim’s digital-to-analog
converters (DACs) is als o included. Windows®-based graphical user i nterfaces (GUIs) comm unicate with the
boards for generating various analog signal test patterns and simplified access to AFE measurement data.

2 Software Installation
There are two Windows GUI applications included with MAXSANTAFEEVSYS used for:
• Generating analog test sign als with t he M AX 521 6D AC LITE board in order to eval uate th e per f or mance
of the AFE reference design. This application is create d using Nat ional Instruments LabVIEW
LabVIEW Run-Time Engine (RTE) must be installed in order to install and execute the
MAX5216DACLITE GUI application.
• Calibrating the offs et and gain for the analog inputs of the MAXREFDES5 boar d and evaluating the
design’s measurem ent perform ance. This applicat ion created us ing Borland C ++ does n ot require any
installation and can be executed directly from the USB flash drive.
To begin software ins tallation, either connect th e provided USB flash dri ve to an availab le USB port on your
PC, or download a zip file of the USB flash drive contents from
