MAX7325 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
The MAX7325 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that demonstrates the capabilities of the MAX7325 I 2 C port
expander with eight push-pull outputs and eight opendrain I/Os. The MAX7325 EV kit also includes
Windows® 2000/XP/Vista-compatible software that provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for exercising the MAX7325’s features.
The MAX7325 evaluation system (EV system) includes
a MAX7325 EV kit and a Maxim CMAXQUSB serialinterface board. The CMAXQUSB board connects to a
PC’s USB port and allows the transfer of I2C commands
to the MAX7325 EV kit.
The EV kit comes with the MAX7325ATG+ installed.

Quick Start
Recommended Equipment
Before beginning, the following equipment is needed:
• The MAX7325 EV system
MAX7325 EV kit
Maxim CMAXQUSB board
USB cable (included with CMAXQUSB)
• A user-supplied Windows 2000/XP/Vista-compatible
PC with a spare USB port
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
underlined refers to items from the Windows operating
system.
Procedure
1) Visit www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware to download
the latest version of the EV kit software,
7325Rxx.ZIP. Save the EV kit software to a temporary folder and uncompress the ZIP file.
2) Install the MAX7325 evaluation software on your
computer by running the INSTALL.EXE program
inside the temporary folder. The program files are
copied and icons are created in the Windows Start
menu.
2
3) Enable the I2C pullup resistors on the CMAXQUSB
board by setting the DIP switches on SW1 to the ON
position.
4) For the MAX7325 EV kit, make sure that the shunts
of all jumpers are in the following default positions:
JU1: (1-3)
JU2: (1-4)
Combined with JU2 makes I 2 C
address = 0xC0, 0xA0
Combined with JU1 makes I 2 C
address = 0xC0, 0xA0
JU3: (Open) Normal operation
JU4: (2-3)
CMAXQUSB provides the power
supply
5) Connect the boards by aligning the MAX7325 EV
kit’s 20-pin connector with the 20-pin connector of
the CMAXQUSB board.
6) Connect the USB cable from the PC to the
CMAXQUSB board. A Building Driver Database
window pops up in addition to a New Hardware
Found message if this is the first time it is used on
the PC. If you do not see a window that is similar to
the one described above after 30s, remove the USB
cable from the CMAXQUSB and reconnect it.
Administrator privileges are required to install the
USB device driver on Windows 2000/XP/Vista.
7) Follow the directions of the Add New Hardware
Wizard to install the USB device driver. Choose the
Search for the best driver for your device option.
Specify the location of the device driver to be
C:\Program Files\MAX7325 (default installation
directory) 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
installation. Refer to the USB_Driver_Help.PDF document for additional information.
8) Start the MAX7325 EV kit software by opening its
icon in the Start menu. The GUI main window will
appear, as shown in Figure 1.
9) Check or uncheck the O8 and O9 checkboxes
above the Write button, which is inside the Group B
Ports group box. Press the Write button and
observe the light change of the LEDs on the EV kit
board.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
MAX7325 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
To start the MAX7325 EV kit software, double click the
MAX7325 EV kit icon that is created during installation.
The GUI main window appears, as shown in Figure 1.
There are four group boxes on the MAX7325 EV kit GUI
software: Group A Ports, Group B Ports, I2C
Addresses, and Interrupt Status.
Group A Ports Group Box
The Group A Ports group box shown in Figure 1 contains the Write group box and the Read group box.
The Read group box consists of two sections: Port
Status and Flag Status.
Pressing the Single-byte Read button only reads the
port status. Pressing the Two-byte Read button will
read both port status and flag status. Refer to the
MAX7325 IC data sheet for a detailed description.
Group B Ports Group Box
The Group B Ports group box also contains a Write
group box and a Read group box.
Check or uncheck the desired checkboxes in the Write
group box and press the Write button to write the port
settings to the device.
Press the Read button to read the port status.
Check or uncheck the desired checkboxes in the Write
group box and press the Write button to write the port
settings to the device.

I2C Addresses Group Box
Interrupt Status Group Box
The I2C Addresses drop-down list automatically
detects the MAX7325’s I2C slave address when the GUI
software starts. If multiple devices are connected to the
I2C bus, the user can use this drop-down list to manually change the device’s I2C slave address according to
the shunt position of JU1 and JU2, as shown in Table 1.
The Interrupt Status group box shows the current status of the MAX7325 INT pin (active-low, latching transition-detection interrupt output).

MAX7325 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
The MAX7325 has eight push-pull outputs and eight
open-drain I/Os. The MAX7325 EV kit board provides a
proven layout for evaluating the MAX7325. The EV kit
comes with a MAX7325ATG+ installed.
Hardware-Reset Control
The hardware-reset function is controlled by jumper
JU3, as shown in Table 2. Putting a shunt in the 1-2
position resets all registers and puts the device in the
power-on-reset state.

Power Supplies
The MAX7325 EV kit can either be powered from the
CMAXQUSB (2.5V, 3.3V, and 5V) or from a usersupplied 1.71V to 5.5V power supply connecting to
VDD, as shown in Table 3.
If a user-supplied power supply is used, ensure that the
voltage setting is compatible with the CMAXQUSB JU1
setting.

User-Supplied I2C Interface
I2C Address Configuration
The combination of shunt positions of jumpers JU1 and
JU2 determine the I2C slave address of the MAX7325
EV kit. See Table 1 to select the appropriate setting.
To use the MAX7325 EV kit with a user-supplied I2C
interface, install a shunt on jumper JU4’s 1-2 position.
Connect SDA, SCL, and GND lines from the usersupplied I2C interface to the SDA, SCL, and GND pads
on the MAX7325 EV kit. Apply a 1.71V to 5.5V power
supply to the VDD pad of the MAX7325 EV kit.
Depending on the configuration of the user-supplied
I2C interface, it may be necessary to install I2C pullup
resistors, R10 and R11.
