Detailed Description of Software
User-Interface Panel
The program’s main window (Figure 2) is navigated by
using a mouse or a combination of the Tab and Arrow
keys. The MAX17065 EV kit software provides controls
for the following software-configurable features:
Frequency and Mode selection, ON Enables, Outputs
configuration, Faults detection, Current Limit settings,
and Manufacturer ID/Silicon Revision detection.
Changes to the controls result in a write operation that
updates the appropriate registers of the MAX17065.
A status bar is also provided at the bottom of the program’s main window and is used to verify command
module and device connectivity. A Device Search
option is located in the Action menu bar should the user
want to switch from Demo Mode to normal operation.
ON Enables and Test
The ON2 and ON1 bits enable/disable the various outputs of the MAX17065, according to Table 1. To set
either bit high, check the respective ON_ checkbox in
the ON Enables group box.

can be driven by external voltage sources. Setting
either TEST_ bit to 1 in the Test group box disables the
discharge function. Refer to the MAX17065 IC data
sheet for more information regarding the test bits.
Fault Detection
The MAX17065’s Faults read-only register monitors the
OLED controller’s operating state, output, and thermal
faults. When a fault is detected, the corresponding bit is
changed from logic 0 to logic 1 and the font color is
changed to red. Refer to the MAX17065 IC data sheet
for more information regarding the Faults register.
Outputs
Figure 2. MAX17065 EV Kit Software Main Window
The MAX17065 allows for software control of the
charge-pump and negative SMPS outputs. Select the
appropriate voltages from the VL:, VH:, and VN: dropdown lists to set the desired voltages. The default settings are VL: -0.5V, VH: +5.5V, and VN: -0.5V.
Frequency Selection
Current Limit
The MAX17065 can be operated at either 0.6MHz or
1.2MHz. To set the desired frequency, select the
appropriate radio button in the Frequency group box.
The default frequency setting is 0.6MHz, but the EV kit
is designed for 1.2MHz. Component changes are
required when selecting different frequencies. Refer to
the MAX17065 IC data sheet for more information
regarding frequency selection.
The MAX17065 software allows the user to set current limits for the negative and positive switching
power supplies. To set the current limits, select the
desired current limit from the IMAXN: and IMAXP:
drop-down lists in the Current Limit group box. The
default current-limit settings are IMAXN: 0.45A and
IMAXP: 0.45A.
Operating Mode
The MAX17065 can be operated in either Skip Mode or
Forced PWM. To set the desired operating mode,
select the appropriate radio button in the Mode group
box. The default operating mode is Forced PWM. Refer
to the MAX17065 IC data sheet for more information
regarding modes of operation.

User-Supplied I2C/SMBus Interface
To use the MAX17065 EV kit with a user-supplied
I2C/SMBus interface, first move the shunts of JU5 and
JU6 to the 2-3 position. Then connect your SDA and
SCL signals to the corresponding SDA and SCL pads
on the MAX17065 EV kit board. Note: The I2C/SMBus
interface is not available until VD is enabled by either
SHDN = VDDIO or four rising CLK edges because SDA
and SCL are pulled up by internal 10kΩ resistors.
