MAX1241 Evaluation System/Evaluation Kit
________________General Description
The MAX1241 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled
and tested PC board that demonstrates the 3V, 12-bit
MAX1241 analog-to-digital converter.
The MAX1241 evaluation system (EV system) is a com-
plete, low-cost, single-channel data-acquisition system
consisting of a MAX1241 EV kit and a Maxim 3V micro-
controller (碌C) module. IBM PC-compatible software
provides a handy user interface to exercise the
MAX1241鈥檚 features. Source code is provided.
Order the EV system for comprehensive evaluation of
the MAX1241 using a personal computer. Order the EV
kit if you have already purchased the 3V 碌C module
with another Maxim EV system, or for custom use in
other 碌C-based systems.
The MAX1241 EV kit evaluates both the MAX1241 and
the MAX1240. To evaluate the MAX1240, order a free
sample of the MAX1240BCPA along with the MAX1241
EV kit.

_________________________Quick Start
The MAX1241 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
Follow these steps to verify board operation.
Do not
turn on the power supply until all connections are
completed.
1) Copy the files from the distribution disk to your hard
disk or to blank floppy disks. The MAX1241 EV kit
software should be in its own directory. The neces-
sary files are in the distribution disk鈥檚 root directory,
and the source code is in the SOURCE subdirec-
tory. The SOURCE subdirectory is not required to
operate the EV kit.
2) Make sure that jumper JU1 is open and JU2 is
closed (Table 1).
3) Carefully connect the boards by aligning the
MAX1241 EV kit鈥檚 40-pin header with the 68L11D
module鈥檚 40-pin connector. Gently press them
together. The two boards should be flush against
one another.
4) Connect a 5V DC power source (16V max) to the 碌C
module. This is located at the terminal block next to
the on/off switch, in the upper-right corner of the 碌C
module. Observe the polarity marked on the board.
