Caution: The GND banana jack is more positive than the
VEE banana jack. Use an isolated oscilloscope for prob-
ing, with respect to VEE.
Note: In the following sections, software-related items
are identified by bolding. Text in bold refers to items
directly from the EV kit software. Text in bold and under-
lined refers to items from the Windows operating system.
Hardware Connections
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation. Caution: Do not turn on
the power supply until all connections are completed .
1) Visit www.maximintegrated.com/evkitsoftware to
download the latest version of the EV kit software,
5980RXX.ZIP. Save the EV kit software to a tempo-
rary 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) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1-2 on jump-
ers JU1 (A0, high), JU2 (A1, high), JU3 (A2, high),
and JU4 (A4, high) to set the IC’s I
2
C-compatible
slave address to 0x5E hexadecimal.
4) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 2-3 on
jumper JU5 (signal mode).
5) Verify that a shunt is installed across pins 1-2 on
jumper JU6 (automatic mode).
6) Verify that no shunt is installed on jumper JU8 (Class
5 disabled).
7) Connect the -32V to -60V DC power supply to the
metal VEE banana jack and the supply ground to the
metal GND banana jack. Do not turn on the power
supply until all connections are completed.
8) Connect a PD to the desired Ethernet output port’s
RJ45 connector (upper row) on the EV kit’s 2 x 4
MagJack (J2) as listed below:
a. PORT1_OUT at upper row RJ45
b. PORT2_OUT at upper row RJ45
c. PORT3_OUT at upper row RJ45
d. PORT4_OUT at upper row RJ45
e. This step is optional if network connectivity and/
or a PD is not required
9) Connect the EV kit’s network input LAN port (lower
row) to the corresponding PD LAN connection as
listed below:
a. PORT1_IN at lower row RJ45
b. PORT2_IN at lower row RJ45
c. PORT3_IN at lower row RJ45
d. PORT4_IN at lower row RJ45
e. This step is optional if network connectivity is
not required
10) Turn on the power supply.
11) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the EV kit
board. A New Hardware Found window pops up
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 privileges are
required to install the USB device driver on Windows.
12) Follow the directions of the Found New Hardware
window to install the USB device driver. Manually
specify the location of the device driver to be C:\
Program Files\ MAX5980 (default installation direc-
tory) using the Browse button. During device driver
installation, Windows may show a warning message
indicating that the device driver Maxim uses does
not contain a digital signature. This is not an error
condition and it is safe to proceed with installa-
tion. Refer to the USB_Driver_Help.PDF document
included with the software for additional information.
