MAX77831 Evaluation Kit

Evaluates: MAX77831

MAXUSB_INTERFACE#

The  MAXUSB_INTERFACE#  along  with  the  companion 

EV  kit  GUI  software  allows  users  to  easily  change  the 

MAX77831’s register settings with a Windows PC. Before 

connecting  the  MAXUSB_INTERFACE#  to  the  EV  kit’s 

MAXUSB_INTERFACE#  connector  (J5),  make  sure  the 

MAXUSB_INTERFACE# is configured with the following 

settings:

 

● SW1, SW2 to ON Position (This enables I

2

C mode on 

the MAXUSB_INTERFACE#.)

 

● VL  Jumper  (J5)  to  1.8V  (This  sets  the  MAXUSB_

INTERFACE# VIO voltage.)

• 

Warning: 

Setting this incorrectly to 3.3V could 

potentially damage the MAX77831 IC.

The  MAXUSB_INTERFACE#  also  includes  an  on-board 

LDO that can supply necessary voltage to V

IO

. If you are 

using the MAXUSB_INTERFACE#, disconnect any exter

-

nal V

IO

  supply  from  the  EV  kit,  and  make  sure  header 

jumpers J3, J4, and 0Ω jumper R3 are installed to connect 

the MAXUSB_INTERFACE# to the EV kit.
