General Description

The MAX14914 peripheral module provides the hardware

to evaluate the MAX14914 high-side/push-pull driver that

operates as both an industrial digital output (DO) and an

industrial digital input (DI). Refer to the MAX14914 IC data

sheet for detailed information regarding operation of the IC.

The module can be used in various ways; Maxim sells a

low-cost USB2PMB1 adapter board that uses the Munich

GUI software for communication through a USB cable.

This is not included with this board. Alternatively, any

microcontroller or FPGA with a 12-pin Pmod

connector can be used, but the user needs to adapt the

signalling because this is not a standard SPI port. Another

option for the user is to wire-wrap a temporary connection

from their system to the pins on connector X1.
