MAX5386M Evaluation System
See the Detailed Description of Software section for more
information on the software features.
Detailed Description of Software
Graphical User Interface (GUI) Panel
The MAX5386M EV kit software GUI shown in Figure 1 is
a Windows program that provides a convenient means
to control the MAX5386M dual potentiometer. Use the
mouse or press the Tab key to navigate through the GUI
controls. The correct SPI write operations are generated
to update the MAX5386M internal memory registers
when any of these controls are executed.
The software divides the EV kit functions into group
boxes. The Interface group box indicates the EV kit
Status and the last write operation Command Sent
and Data Sent indicators. This data confirms proper
device operation. The Device Connected combo box
selects the Maxim part being evaluated and enables
the Update Pot A and B checkbox function when
choosing the MAX5391 or MAX5393 option from the
list. The Default button programs both potentiometers
to their midscale positions. The lower Potentiometer A
and Potentiometer B group boxes provide controls to
change the respective wiper positions. The main window’s bottom-left status bar provides the USB interface
circuit communication status.
The EV kit software can also be used to evaluate
the MAX5386L, MAX5386N, MAX5388, MAX5391, and
MAX5393.
Software Startup
Upon startup, the EV kit software automatically searches for the USB interface board’s circuit connection.
In the Interface group box, the Device Connected
combo box allows the user to select the proper part
being evaluated. Upon selection of the device being
evaluated, the Update Pot A and B checkbox is
enabled/disabled. The EV kit enters the normal operating mode when the USB connection is detected and the
part has been selected. Since the MAX5386M does not
have read capability, all the edit boxes are set to question marks (??) and the Potentiometer_ track bar is set
to mid scale. If the USB connection is not detected, the
software prompts the user to retry, exit the program, or
enter the demo mode.
Demo Mode
The EV kit software enters the demo mode, when the
USB connection is not detected, by selecting Cancel on
the MAX5386M Evaluation Kit Interface Circuit popup
window (Figure 2). The software can also enter demo
mode at any time from the main window by selecting
the Options | Demo Mode menu item. When in demo
mode, all software communication to the EV kit circuit
is disabled; however, most of the software GUI is functional. Demo mode allows the user to evaluate the software without hardware connectivity. To exit demo mode,
deselect the Options | Demo Mode menu item.
Potentiometer A and B Wiper Positions
The wiper position track bars (WA, WB) in the
Potentiometer A and Potentiometer B group boxes
are used to change the wiper position between the H_
and L_ end points. Use the computer mouse or arrow
keys to move the wiper position between the 256 position points. The wiper position can also be changed by
entering the desired integer value in the edit boxes, or
by pressing the up or down arrows in the respective
edit box. A change in the W_ wiper position track bars,
or HW_/WL_ edit boxes writes to the registers and the
wiper position is updated with the data sent. The wiper
position is shown in the HW_ and WL_ edit boxes. The
HW_ edit box shows the wiper position with respect to
the potentiometer H end point and the WL_ edit box
shows the wiper position with respect to the potentiometer L _ end point.

Factory Default
Pressing the Default button resets potentiometer A and
B wiper positions in the MAX5386M to the factory-default
midscale position.
Status Indicator
The Status indicator in the Interface group box displays
EV Kit Operational when the EV kit enters the normal
operating mode after the USB connection is detected.
If the USB connection is not detected, or when the
software enters the demo mode, the Status indicator
displays Demo Mode. Demo mode is used to exercise
the software without hardware connectivity.
Command Sent Indicator
The Command Sent indicator in the Interface group
box displays the last command sent from the master
(software) to the MAX5386M. There are two commands
available in the MAX5386M IC. Table 2 describes the two
MAX5386M commands.
Data Sent Indicator
The Data Sent indicator displays the last data sent from
the masters to potentiometer A (0x00) or potentiometer
B (0x01) registers.
The MAX5386M IC uses an 8-bit (MSBs, D7–D0) data
byte to set the wiper position. Refer to the MAX5386 IC
data sheet for additional information.
Keyboard Navigation
Press the Tab key to select each GUI control. The selected control is indicated by a dotted outline. Using Shift
+ Tab moves the selection to the previously selected
control. Buttons respond to the keyboard’s space bar
and some controls respond to the keyboard’s up and
down arrow keys. Activate the program’s menu bar by
pressing the F10 key and then pressing the letter of the
desired menu item. Most menu items have one letter
underlined, indicating their shortcut key.
When a number is entered into the edit boxes, it can be
sent to the device by pressing the Enter key. It is also
sent when Tab or Shift + Tab is pressed.
Simple SPI Commands
There are two methods for communicating with the EV
kit, through the normal user-interface panel (Figure 1)
or through the SPI commands available by selecting
the 3-Wire Interface (Figure 3) utility from the main program’s Options | Advanced Users Interface menu bar.
A window is displayed that allows SPI send/receive data
operations.
On the 3-wire interface tab, the Connection group box
defines the hardware connections of the interface. For
the EV kit, K10 is selected from the Clock (SCK)(SCLK)
drop-down list, K12 from the Data from master to slave
(MOSI)(DIN) drop-down list is disabled, K11 from the
Data from slave to master (MISO)(DOUT) drop-down
list, K9 from the Chip-select (CS) for data framing
drop-down list, and Use standard connections for
high-speed SPI checkbox is checked (see Figure 3).
The Configuration group box allows the user to configure the logic level and data rate. For the EV kit, check
the Send & Receive MSB first checkbox and verify that
the CPOL=1(clock idle high) and CPHA=1(sample 2nd
edge) checkboxes are unchecked (see Figure 3).
The Send and Receive Data group box allows the user
to send data to the MAX5386M. The Data bytes to be
written edit box indicates data to be sent from the master (microcontroller) to the device (MAX5386M). Eightbit hexadecimal numbers should be comma delimited.
Press the Send Now button to transmit the data from the
master to the device. Data appearing in the Data bytes
received edit box is data read from the device. The Data
bytes received edit box in the EV kit software always
shows a default value of 0xFF since the MAX5386M
does not send data back to the master.
Note: The SPI dialog boxes accept numeric data in
hexadecimal format. Hexadecimal numbers must be prefixed by $ or 0x. Figure 3 shows a simple SPI write-byte
operation using the included 3-wire interface diagnostics
tool. In this example, the software is sending command
0x00 (write to potentiometer A) and data 0x7F. The data
sequence sets the MAX5386M wiper position to 127.

MAX5386M Evaluation System
General Troubleshooting
Problem: Software reports it cannot find the interface
circuit:
• Is the USB cable connected to the MINIQUSB+ board?
• Has Windows plug-and-play detected the board?
Bring up Control Panel->System->Device Manager,
and look at what device nodes are indicated for USB.
If there is an Unknown device node attached to
the USB, uninstall it—this forces plug-and-play to try
again.
• If using an off-board SPI interface, is the power ground
connected to the EV kit ground (GND) at one of the
header J1 pin connections (J1-2, J1-4, J1-6, or J1-8)?
Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAX5386M evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled
and tested PCB that features the MAX5386M dual 50kI
digital potentiometers. Both potentiometer A and B have
an end-to-end resistance of 50kI and each wiper can be
programmed independently among 256 tap positions.
The EV kit uses a MAX5386M IC in a 16-pin thin QFN
package on a proven two-layer PCB design.
The EV kit provides connector J1 to interface with the
MAX5386M CS, DIN, SCLK, and GND signals directly
to a user-supplied 3-wire system. Connector J1 also
provides a connection for the MAX5386M EV kit’s 2.6V
to 5.5V VPOWER power-supply input.
The EV kit is typically used with a MINIQUSB+ interface
board for communicating with a PC through the 3-wire
serial interface. Logic-level translators U7 and U8 provide proper SPI interface translation when using 2.6V to
5.5V to power the MAX5386M VDD input.

EV Kit VDD Input Source
The VPOWER rail is typically supplied as 3.3V or 5V by
the MINIQUSB+ interface board circuitry, or 2.6V using
LDO regulator U6. LDO regulator U5 output is set to 1.7V
and is powered from the VPOWER rail. The VPOWER rail
sets the MAX5386M VDD input to 5V, 3.3V, or 2.6V.
Regulator U5 has an adjustable output that can be configured to a different voltage by replacing resistor R1.
Use the following equation to set U5 output voltage:
VOUT
R1 = 10 5 x
− 1
1.225
where R1 is in ohms and VOUT is the desired U5 output
voltage.
Jumper JU20 selects the source for the EV kit circuit
VPOWER rail. See Table 3 for proper jumper configuration for setting VPOWER rail.
Alternatively, the EV kit’s VDD PCB pad can be used to
supply an external 2.6V to 5.25V to the circuit’s VPOWER
rail, by removing the shunt at jumper JU20.

Table 4 for proper jumper JU1configuration.
MAX5386M VDD Input Configuration
Jumper JU2 selects the power source for the MAX5386M
VDD input. Install a shunt across pins 1-2 of jumper JU7
to operate the MAX5386M VDD input power using LDO
U5 output. Install a shunt across pins 2-3 to operate the
MAX5386M VDD input from the VPOWER rail. See Table
5 for proper jumper configuration for the MAX5386M
VDD power-supply input.
Note: The MAX5386M VDD input has a minimum 2.6V
requirement and LDO U5 output needs to be adjusted to
power the MAX5386M VDD input.
SPI Clock, Data-, and Chip-Select Inputs
The MAX5386M features clock, data-, and chip-select
input pins for SPI-compatible communication to control
the MAX5386M wiper position. The clock, data-, and
chip-select pins can be driven by the MINIQUSB+ interface circuit or the PCB header (J1), along with a usersupplied external SPI-compatible controller. An external
SPI-compatible controller can be connected to CS
(J1-3), DIN (J1-5), SCLK (J1-7), and GND (J1-2, J1-4,
J1-6, J1-8) on header J1 to communicate with the
MAX5386M IC. When using an external SPI-compatible
controller, verify that the MINIQUSB+ interface board
has been disconnected from the EV kit’s J2 and J3 headers. See Table 6 for header J1 pin assignment.

MAX5386M Evaluation System
The MAX5386M IC can also be configured as a variable
resistor by shorting the H_ and W_ pads together using
a wire. When operating as a variable resistor, any power
source connected to the H_, W_, or L_ pads must be
voltage and current limited to the maximum conditions
stated in the MAX5386 IC data sheet.

Note that to test the device in resistor mode, the ohmmeter must be GND referenced to the MAX5386M. This can
be accomplished by connecting the L_ pin to GND or
the H_ pin to U1 VDD. Resistance can then be measured
between W_ and L_ or W_ and H_ PCB pads.
Evaluating the MAX5388, MAX5391,
and MAX5393 ICs
The EV kit is populated with additional PCB footprints
and various jumpers to evaluate the MAX5391 (U2),
MAX5393 (U3), and MAX5388 (U4), respectively.
Refer to the MAX5388, MAX5391L, or MAX5393 EV system data sheets for additional information when evaluating
the MAX5388, MAX5391, or MAX5393 digital potentiometers.
