Note: The MAX1416 software is designed for use with the com-  
plete EV system (MAX1416EVC16). It includes a 68HC16MOD-  
ULE-DIP module and a MAX1416EVKIT. If the MAX1416 evalua-

MAX1416 Evaluation Kit/  
Evaluation System  
The Setup, Clock, Offset, and Gain tab sheets provide  
read/ write access to each of the registers. See  
Figures 2–5.  
Evaluating the MAX1415  
To evaluate the MAX1415, request a free sample of the  
MAX1415EUE and replace U1. Follow the Quick Start  
procedure, with the following exceptions:  
The Comms and Data (Figure 6) tab sheet provides  
access to the Standby bit. The comms registers RS2,  
RS1, RS0, and R/W bits are automatically set by each  
register’s read and write buttons. The channel select  
bits CH1 and CH0 are determined by which channel is  
selected on the Measurement tab sheet.  
• In step 1, leave JU1 and JU2 open.  
• In step 3, apply a +3VDC power supply (instead of  
+5V) to TB1. Apply an external +1.225VDC differen-  
tial reference between TB3 pins 3 and 2.  
• After step 10, go to the software’s Measurement tab  
sheet and type the new reference voltage of 1.225  
next to REF voltage.  
Sampling  
To collect data, go to the Measurement tab sheet and  
click Sample. Select the sample size and click Begin  
Sampling. After the samples have been collected, the  
data is automatically uploaded to the host and is  
graphed. Once displayed, the data can be saved to a  
file (optional).  
Evaluating the MX7705  
To evaluate the MX7705, request a free sample of the  
MX7705EUE and replace U1. The MX7705 is similar to  
the MAX1415/1416 except it does not support internal  
clock mode (INT must always be zero).  
Saving Graphs to Disk  
Data in the real-time graph and in the sampled data  
graphs can be saved to a file (Figures 7–8). Only the  
raw output codes are saved, but voltages can be  
inferred based on the reference voltage and the maxi-  
mum code value.  
Using an External Reference  
To use an external reference, remove the shunts from  
JU1 and JU2, and connect a differential reference  
between TB3 pins 3 and 2. The evaluation software  
assumes a 2.500V reference voltage, unless otherwise  
specified. To override this value, go to the Measurement  
tab sheet and type the new reference voltage next to  
REF voltage.  
Evaluating Power-Down Mode  
To enter standby mode, first make sure that Auto Read  
is not checked in the Measurement tab sheet. Then go  
to the Comms and Data tab sheet and check power-  
down, then click write.  
Troubleshooting  
Problem: No output measurement. System seems to  
report zero voltage, or fails to make a measurement.  
Reference Voltage  
The evaluation software assumes a 2.500V reference  
voltage, unless otherwise specified. To override this  
value, go to the Measurement tab sheet and type the  
new reference voltage next to REF voltage.  
Check VDD supply voltage at TB1. The EV kit requires  
a separate supply in addition to the supply on the  
microcontroller module. Check the reference voltage  
using a digital voltmeter. Use an oscilloscope to verify  
that the CS, SCLK, and DIN waveforms are correct. If  
the DRDY signal is pulsing, then the software has suc-  
cessfully initialized the MAX1416 and conversions have  
been triggered.  
Software Listing  
The EV kit software disk contains the driver source and  
header file. Refer to DRV1416.cpp and DRV1416.h.  
Problem: Cannot see MCLK waveform on oscillo-  
scope.  
Detailed Description  
of Hardware  
When using an external crystal, the MCLKIN and  
MCLKOUT nodes are very sensitive to extra load  
capacitance. Connecting a typical 10x scope probe  
effectively doubles the load capacitance from 20pF to  
40pF, which can slow down or even halt oscillation.  
When using the internal oscillator (clock register INT =  
1 and CLKDIS = 0), the oscillator signal is visible on the  
MCLKOUT pin. In this mode, MCLKOUT can be mea-  
sured using a typical 10x scope probe.  
The MAX1416 (U1) is a multichannel, 16-bit, sigma-  
delta data-acquisition system. Resistors R1–R4 and  
C1–C4 act as anti-aliasing filters. The MAX873 (U2) is a  
2.5V reference. C14 ensures the MAX873’s stability for  
arbitrary values of input capacitor C11. Level transla-  
tors U3 and U4 allow the kit to support the 3V  
MAX1415, as well as the 5V MAX1416. The input signal  
can be applied directly to terminal blocks TB2 and TB3.  
C5 and C6 bypass the analog-to-digital converter’s  
power supply. See Figure 9, and refer to the MAX1416  
data sheet.

Problem: Internal oscillator does not work.  
Table 1. Jumper Functions  
The internal-oscillator mode is a feature of the  
MAX1416/MAX1415 only, and is not supported on the  
MX7705. The MX7705 requires an external clock, and  
can only be used with INT = 0. To observe the internal  
oscillator driving the MCLKOUT pin, U1 must be a  
MAX1416 or MAX1415, and the clock register must  
have INT = 1 and CLKDIS = 0.

Problem: Measurements are erratic or unstable or  
there is poor accuracy.  
Check the reference voltage using a digital voltmeter.  
Use an oscilloscope to check for noise. When probing  
for noise, keep the oscilloscope ground-return lead as  
short as possible, preferably less than 1/2 in (10mm).

*Default configuration  
Problem: PDA hot-sync software or other device soft-  
ware interferes with EV kit software.  
COM ports can only be used by one device at a time.  
Disable PDA hot-sync manager.
