MAX5392 Evaluation System
General Description
Features
S 1.7V to 5.25V Single-Supply Operation
The MAX5392 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled and
tested PCB that features two MAX5392M 50kIdual digi-
tal potentiometer ICs. The MAX5392M IC features dual
volatile 50kI256-tap potentiometers and communicates
through an I2C-compatible serial interface (or through a
stand-alone 2-wire serial interface).

The MAX5392EVMINIQU+ evaluation system (EV sys-
tem) includes the EV kit and a MINIQUSB+ interface
board. The MINIQUSB+ interface board can be used to

interface for exercising the MAX5392 features. The pro-
gram is menu-driven and offers a graphical user inter-
face (GUI) complete with buttons, track bars, and edit
boxes. The EV kit software can also be used to evaluate
the MAX5387. The EV kit can also be interfaced directly
to a user-supplied 2-wire system.

The MAX5392 IC can be powered from a 1.7V, 2.6V,
3.3V, or 5V source generated from the MINIQUSB+ inter-
face board and EV kit circuitry, or from a user-supplied
external 1.7V to 5.25V DC power supply. Order the EV

The EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX5392L
(10kI) and MAX5392N (100kI). The EV kit contains
PCB footprints for two MAX5387 ICs, which allows the
user to independently control up to eight potentiometers.
To evaluate the MAX5387, order samples and install the
ICs on U1 and/or U2 PCB pads.
