MAX11300/MAX11301 PIXI Configuration Software User Guide

1. Overview

This document explains how a Windows®-based design tool can be used to create a

configuration bitstream for the MAX11300 and MAX11301. The MAX11300 and MAX11301

are functionally similar from a configuration design, with the difference being the type

of serial interface (MAX11300 = SPI, MAX11301 = I

2C). Within this document the

MAX11300 is often used to refer to both part numbers and is also referred to as PIXI™.

Refer to the MAX11300 and MAX11301 IC data sheets for detailed information

regarding the operation of the IC.

The MAX11300 and MAX11301 ICs offer 20 ports, all of which can be individually configured

in a number of different modes including ADC, DAC, GPI, GPO, or analog switch terminal.

MAX11300 Configuration Software provides easy configuration for the MAX11300 and

MAX11301 PIXI devices and all possible configuration modes. Each port can be configured

through simple drag-and-drop functionality to select the mode required. The software tool

generates the bitstream that users download to the target PIXI in order to configure its

functionality within their end application. All configurations implemented through this software

can be saved for later use.

2. Required Equipment

• PC with Windows OS (this software has been tested with Windows XP®, Windows 7, and

Windows 8 and 8.1 running .net v4)
