MAX6692 Evaluation System/Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
The MAX6692 evaluation system (EV system) consists
of a MAX6692 evaluation kit (EV kit) and a companion
Maxim SMBus™ interface board.
o Measures and Displays Temperature of the
MAX6648/MAX6649/MAX6692 and a Remote Diode
o Programmable Under/Overtemperature Alarms
o Programmable Conversion Rate
The MAX6692 EV kit is an assembled and tested PC
board with a mounted MAX6692. The EV kit allows full
evaluation of the MAX6692 temperature sensor. The
MAX6692 monitors its own die temperature and the
junction temperature of an external diode-connected
transistor. It converts the temperature to 11-bit data that
may be accessed over a 2-wire serial bus.
o Programmable Number of Faults Required to
Assert the Alarm
o Programmable Overtemperature Hysteresis
o SMBus Compatible
The MAX6692 EV kit includes the external diode-con-
nected transistor (2N3906) soldered to the board,
which can be removed. The board can then be con-
nected through a twisted pair to a remote diode close
to your system.
o Easy-to-Use Menu-Driven Software
o Fully Assembled and Tested
o Includes Windows 95/98/2000-Compatible
Software and Demo PC Board
The Maxim SMBus interface board (MAXSMBUS)
allows an IBM-compatible PC to use its parallel port to
emulate an Intel system management bus (SMBus) 2-

ware provides a user-friendly interface to exercise the
features of the MAX6692. The program is menu driven
and offers a graphic interface with control buttons and
status display. (Note: Windows 2000 requires the
installation of a driver; refer to Win2000.pdf or
Win2000.txt located on the diskette.)

Note: The MAX6692 EV kit software is provided with the
MAX6692EVKIT. However, the MAXSMBUS board is required to
interface the EV kit to the computer when using the software.
The MAX6692 EV kit can also evaluate the MAX6648
and MAX6649. Order free samples of either the
MAX6648MUA or MAX6649MUA through Maxim's web-
site. Order the MAX6692EVSYS for a complete IBM PC-
based evaluation of the MAX6648/MAX6649/MAX6692.
Order the MAX6692EVKIT if you already have an
SMBus interface.
