The MAXREFDES24EVSYS design accelerator kit allows users to quickly demonstrate and evaluate the functionality of Maxim Integrated’s 4-channel analog output （AO） reference design （MAXREFDES24） without the need for a bench power supply， digital multimeter， or Xilinx development kit. The reference board connects to a PC through an included USB-to-SPI adapter （USB2PMB1） that provides data communication to the board. A universal power adaptor is included for providing 24V DC power. To exercise the AO reference design， a USB-powered signal capture board （MAXADCLite2） utilizing one of Maxim Integrated’s 12-bit analog-to-digital converters （ADCs） is also included. The simple tool provides two inputs capable of measuring unipolar analog control signals up to 10V （or 20mA with selectable termination resistor）。 Windows?-based graphical user interfaces （GUIs） communicate with the boards for generating and capturing various signal test patterns. An intuitive alarm interface is also provided for demonstrating the digital diagnostics capabilities of the MAX15500 output conditioners.
