MAX149X2 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX149X2 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested PCB that demonstrates the functionality of the
MAX14943 isolated RS-485/PROFIBUS transceiver. The
EV kit operates from a single 3.3V supply and features an
on-board isolated power supply to power the secondaryside of the circuit.
The MAX149X2 EV kit comes with the MAX14943GWE+
installed, but can also be used to evaluate the pin-compatible
MAX14940, MAX14946, and MAX14949 ICs.
Features
●● Operates from a Single 3.3V Supply
●● Terminal Block Connectors for Easy RS-485/
PROFIBUS Evaluation
●● 5000VRMS Isolation for 60s
●● Fully Assembled and Tested
●● Proven PCB Layout

Startup Procedure
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
below to verify board operation:
1) Set the DC power supply to 3.3V and connect the
DC power supply between the EV kits VDDA and
GNDA connectors of the EV kit.
2) Ensure that J2 and J3 are in their default positions
(see Table 1).
3) Turn on the power supply.
4) Set the signal/function generator to output a 100kHz
0 to 3V square wave. Note: Set the signal/function
generator to operate with a high-impedance load. If
needed, the R1 pad is available to add a 50Ω impedance
to ground.
5) Connect the signal/function generator to the TXD
test point.
6) Verify that the A and B outputs switch as the signal
toggles.

MAX149X2 Evaluation Kit
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX149X2 EV kit is a fully assembled and tested circuit
board for evaluating the MAX14943 isolated RS-485/
Profibus transceiver (U1). The EV kit has been designed
to allow for evaluating the IC alone or in a standard
RS-485 configuration. The EV kit is powered from a single
3.3V power supply.
External Power Supply
The power on the EV kit is derived from a single 3.3V
source. Connect an external supply from GNDA to either
the VDDA test point or P1 connector to supply the 3.3V to
the logic side (A) of the circuit. The integrated push-pull
transformer driver and external transformer (TX1) generate
an isolated supply for powering the (B) isolated side of
the board.
Evaluating the Isolated RS-485 Interface
Driver and Receiver Enable Selection
The EV kit features three jumpers (J1, J2, and J3) to
enable/disable the driver and receiver outputs. Set J1
to 2-3 to enable the receiver. Set J2 to 1-2 to enable the
driver. To actively control both enables, remove J1 and J2
and close J3, which connects DE and RE together.
Resistors R2 – R4 Configuration
For end-of-the-line transceivers, close J4 to connect a
120Ω resistor (R3) between the A and B RS-485 I/Os on
the IC.
Pullup and pulldown resistors are generally used on the
receiver inputs to guarantee a known state in the event
that all nodes on the bus are in receive mode, or the
cable becomes disconnected. The exact value for these
resistors varies with the application. Pads are provided for
pullup (R2) and pulldown (R4) resistors for the A-B lines,
although the use of these resistors is purely optional. Note
that the MAX14943 features true fail-safe receiver inputs
that ensure RXD is high when the receiver inputs are
shorted, open, or connected to an idle bus.
Selecting a Transformer
Table 2 is a list of transformers designed to operate with
the device family. Select the transformer that best meets
the performance requirements of the end application. All
transformers in Table 2 can be used on the EV kit.
