Hardware Procedure

The MAX17102 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.

Follow the steps below to verify board operation.

Caution: Do not turn on power until all connections

are completed.

1) Verify that all jumpers are configured as listed in the

following table.

2) Verify that switch SW1 is configured with all switches

in the off position (all actuators in the down position,

toward the bottom of the board).

3) Connect the +5V power supply to the VIN and

PGND pads.

4) Enable the power supply and verify that VMAIN is +16V.

5) Verify that VN is approximately -10V.

6) Verify that VP is approximately +30V.

7) Verify that VCOM is +7.2V.

8) Verify that the output of the high-voltage level-shift-

ing buffers is approximately +30V.

Software Procedure

1) Visit www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware to down-

load the latest version of the MAX17102 EV kit soft-

ware, 17102Rxx.ZIP. Save the EV kit software to a

temporary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.

2) Install the EV kit software on your computer by run-

ning the INSTALL.EXE program inside the temporary

folder. The program files are copied and icons are

created in the Windows Start | Programs menu.

3) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the EV kit

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 privi-

leges are required to install the USB device driver

on Windows 2000/XP and Windows Vista.
