Specifications of MAX1276EVKIT

Interface Type
QSPI, Serial (SPI, Microwire)
The following list of equipment has been successfully
used with the MAX1276 EV kit in evaluation and testing.
It is by no means exhaustive, but is offered as a starting
point for setting up a working evaluation bench using
the MAX1276 family of parts.
The master clock generator is used to supply a master
clock reference to digital signal generators or other pro-
grammable devices supplying the SPI interface signals
to the DUT. Frequency resolution, stability, and low jit-
ter/phase noise are of primary importance in this applica-
tion. HP/Agilent 8662A (or equivalent updates) and
Rhode Schwarz SML01 (option B1) have both been
found to provide adequate performance in this regard.
The input signal generator must be able to provide pre-
cise frequency control and resolution for reliable single-
tone measurements. For most linearity and dynamic
measurement techniques, the input signal must be syn-
chronized with the master clock and its derivative SPI
signals. Thus, the master clock and input sources must
be able to share a time-base reference. Fine frequency
resolution is also required to maintain coherency.
HP/Agilent 8662A and Stanford Research DS345, com-
bined with additional filters, have been used success-
fully with the MAX1276 EV kit.
Most signal generators do not have the tonal purity (> 12
bits) required to show the full performance capabilities of
the MAX1276 family. Bandpass filters such as those
manufactured by Allen Avionics, Inc. are well suited for
this use.
A digital pattern generator provides a flexible means of
deriving the required SPI signals for the DUT as well as
any interface signals required for the use of a logic
analyzer or deserializer. The pattern generator should
be able to accept an external master clock input for
proper synchronization. A Sony/Tektronics DG2020A or
equivalent is sufficient.
There are several logic analyzers suitable for use with
the MAX1276 EV kit. Primary concerns are the ease of
configuration, sufficient memory depth, and operating
speed. An HP/Agilent 1673G is a good example of a
suitable logic analyzer.

These sources can be used to provide precision DC
voltages to the DUT for use as external references, DC
inputs, or common-mode levels. Datel/Calibrators Inc.
DVC-8500 is a good example of a precision
voltage source.
A wide array of suitable supply sources is available.
HP/Agilent E3620A or E3631A are two examples.
The MAX1276EVC16 EV system includes both the
MAX1276EVKit board and a 68HC16 µC module.
Together, they can be used to evaluate parts operating
with 5V power supplies at conversion rates up to
200ksps. To use the MAX1276 EV kit with the Maxim
68HC16 module, the following equipment is needed:
• Maxim MAX1276EVC16 (contains MAX1276EVKIT
• DC power supply for the 68HC16 module. This can be
• Personal computer running Windows 98/ME/XP
• Spare 9-pin serial-communications port on the per-
• Serial cable to connect the computer’s serial port to
