Quick Start
WEBSITE
The MAX5527 EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow
the steps below to verify board operation. Do not turn on
the power supply until all connections are completed:
1) Connect a cable from the computer’s parallel port
2) Adjust the variable power supply to 5V.
3) Ensure that the variable power supply is turned off.
4) Ensure that the fixed 11V power supply is turned off.
5) Connect the positive terminal of the variable power
6) Connect the ground return of the variable power
7) Connect the positive terminal of the fixed 11V power
8) Connect the ground return of the fixed 11V power
9) Connect the positive terminal of the ohmmeter to
10) Connect the ground return of the ohmmeter to the
11) Install the software by running the INSTALL.EXE
12) Turn on the 5V variable power supply.
13) Turn on the 11V fixed power supply.
14) Start the MAX5527 program by opening its icon in
15) Wait until the program automatically detects the
to the MAX5527EVKIT. To avoid damaging the EV
kit or your computer, do not use a 25-pin SCSI port
or any other connector that is physically similar to
the 25-pin parallel printer port. The parallel port is
typically labeled LPT or PRINTER.
