Product details
Overview
MAX11612EVSYS+ from Maxim Integrated is a complete evaluation system comprising a USB-connected I²C master board and a pre-installed MAX11612EUA+ 12-bit, 4-channel, 5V-supply analog-to-digital converter daughter board with on-board 4.096V reference. It enables rapid functional validation and performance characterization of high-speed I²C ADCs in lab and design-integration environments.
For engineers reviewing the MAX11612EVSYS+ datasheet, MAX11612EVSYS+ pinout, MAX11612EVSYS+ application, or MAX11612EVSYS+ equivalent, this system supports time-domain/frequency-domain analysis, histogram visualization, RMS/DC/min/max calculations, and up to 1 Msample data capture - all via Windows-compatible GUI software.
Technical Context
The MAX11612EVSYS+ integrates the MAX116XX I²C Master Board (featuring Spartan-3A FPGA, MAXQ2000 microcontroller, USB-to-UART bridge, and multiple LDOs) with the MAX11612 Evaluation Kit daughter board housing the MAX11612EUA+ ADC and MAX6126AASA25+ 2.5V precision voltage reference. It operates with +5.5V DC input and delivers I²C communication at up to 1.7MHz.
Hardware configuration is managed via DIP switches and shunt jumpers (JU1–JU9), supporting flexible power sourcing (board-powered or external AVDD_EXT), reference selection (internal or external), and I²C interface routing (master-controlled or user-supplied SCL/SDA). The system includes test points for AIN0–AIN3, REF, SCL, SDA, and GND.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| System Type | Evaluation system for MAX11600–MAX11617 family - not a standalone IC or component. |
| Core ADC Device | MAX11612EUA+: 12-bit, 4-channel, 5V supply, internal 4.096V reference, I²C interface. |
| I²C Speed Support | Up to 1.7MHz - enables high-throughput sampling control and register access. |
| Data Capture Depth | Up to 1,048,576 samples - sufficient for FFT-based spectral analysis and transient waveform capture. |
| Software Compatibility | Windows 2000/XP/Vista (32-bit) only - requires INSTALL.EXE and MAX11600-11617.EXE runtime. |
| Power Input | +5.5V DC, 0.5A - supplied externally via banana jacks (DVDD/DGND) on master board. |

FAQ
What is the MAX11612EVSYS+ used for?
The MAX11612EVSYS+ is an evaluation system used to characterize and validate the MAX11612EUA+ 12-bit, 4-channel I²C ADC under real-world conditions. It supports configurable sampling, time/frequency/histogram analysis, and parameter extraction (RMS, min/max, DC offset) - enabling engineers to verify performance before integrating the ADC into final designs.
Does the MAX11612EVSYS+ include the MAX11612 ADC?
Yes, the MAX11612EVSYS+ includes the MAX11612EUA+ as the installed ADC on its daughter board. Per Maxim's ordering guide, the "*" denotes the default device shipped - confirming MAX11612EUA+ is physically populated and ready for immediate use upon connection and software launch.
Can the MAX11612EVSYS+ evaluate other ADCs in the MAX11600–MAX11617 family?
Yes - the MAX11612EVSYS+ master board is compatible with all MAX11600–MAX11617 devices. While only MAX11612EUA+ is installed, the system's jumper-configurable daughter board layout and software support allow evaluation of pin-compatible variants like MAX11606EUA+ and MAX11600EKA+ after obtaining those samples separately from Maxim.
What software and OS versions are supported by the MAX11612EVSYS+?
The MAX11612EVSYS+ requires Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista (32-bit only) with the official MAX11600–MAX11617 EV system software (INSTALL.EXE, MAX11600-11617.EXE). No Windows 7+ or 64-bit support is provided - drivers and GUI are legacy-built and incompatible with modern OS security models.
Is USB driver installation required for the MAX11612EVSYS+?
Yes - the MAX11612EVSYS+ uses an FTDI-based USB-to-UART bridge requiring manual driver installation via FTD2XX.INF. Windows may display an unsigned driver warning; proceeding is safe and necessary. Driver location must be manually specified as C:\Program Files\MAX11600-MAX11617 during setup.
