DESCRIPTION
MAX31790EVKitSoftware.EXE
Application program
Note: The .EXE file is downloaded as a .ZIP file.
Quick Start
Required Equipment
MAX31790 EV kit
User-supplied Windows XP, Windows Vista, or

Windows 7 PC with USB port
Mini-USB cable (included)
EV kit hardware (included)
User-supplied 3.3V power supply (300mA minimum)
User-supplied 12V VFAN power supply
User-supplied DC fan
Note: In the following sections, software-related items are
identified by bolding. Text in bold refers to items directly
from the EV kit software. Text in bold and underlined
refers to items from the Windows operating system.
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps

below to verify board operation:
1) Place the EV kit hardware on a nonconductive
surface to ensure that nothing on the PCB gets
shorted to the workspace.
2) Ensure that jumper/shunt J1 is installed, which
provides power to the device.
3) Check the following startup configuration jumpers/
shunts, which result in the associated behavior:
a. J8 (PWM_START1) = GND and J7 (PWM_
START0) = VCC. Defines a power-on-reset (POR)
PWM duty cycle of 75%.
b. J2 (FREQ_START) = VCC. Defines a POR PWM
frequency of 25kHz.
c. J3 (SPIN_START) = VCC. Defines the POR spinup behavior for 100% duty cycle until two tachometer pulses or 1s (MAX).
d. J4 (WATCHDOG_START) = GND. Defines a
disabled I2C watchdog on POR.
e. J5 (ADD0) = GND and J6 (ADD1) = GND. Defines
a POR slave address of 40h.
Maxim Integrated 3
4) Ensure that jumpers/shunts J101, J201, J301, J401,

J501, and J601 are installed, which connects the associated PWMOUT signal to the Fan1Fan6 headers.
5) Connect a 3.3V power supply to the VCC and GND
banana jacks.
6) Connect a 12V power supply to the VFAN and GND
banana jacks.
7) Prior to starting the GUI, connect the EV kit hardware to a PC using the supplied mini-USB cable, or
equivalent. The COM LED (D2l) should be red and
slowly flash orange.
8) Windows should automatically begin installing the
necessary device driver. The USB interface of the
EV kit hardware is configured as an HID device and
therefore does not require a unique/custom device
driver. Once the driver installation is complete, a
Windows message appears near the System Icon
menu indicating that the hardware is ready to use.
Do not attempt to run the GUI prior to this message.
If you do, then you must close the application and
restart it once the driver installation is complete. On
some versions of Windows, administrator privileges
may be required to install the USB device.
9) Once the device driver installation is complete,
visit www.maximintegrated.com/evkitsoftware to
download the latest version of the EV kit software,
MAX31790EVKitSoftware.zip. Save the EV kit software to a temporary folder.
10) Open the .ZIP file and extract the .EXE file to your
desired location. The .EXE file is the actual EV kit
GUI and not an install program. You can store the
.EXE wherever you like and then uninstall it later by
simply deleting the .EXE file.
11) Double-click on the .EXE file to run the GUI. A
message box stating The publisher could not be
verified. Are you sure you want to run this software? may appear. If so, click Run.

12) When the GUI appears, proper communication to

the USB-to-I2C master is indicated in the lower right
corner below the Status box by a text string stating
DS3900 Connected. The COM LED (D2l) now turns
off and flashes red when communication occurs.
13) To verify communication to the device, with the
default jumper/shunt settings described in steps 24,
press the UpdateDashBoard button on the top right
corner and verify the PWM Frequency updates to
25kHz and all Duty Cycle values update to 75.15%,
as shown in Figure 1. This completes the EV kit
setup. The hardware and software are ready to begin
evaluating the device. If any issues arise, see the
Troubleshooting section.
Detailed Description of Software

GUI Status Box
On the bottom right side of the GUI is the Status group

box. It is used to relay information to the user and is
cleared with the associated Clear Button. The text box
below the Status label indicates the status of the communication between the GUI and the EV kit hardware.
If everything is working properly, a message indicates
DS3900 Connected; otherwise, the display shows a yield
sign and DS3900 Disconnected!!
Device Configuration
Upon successful completion of the setup procedure,

the user is ready to begin evaluation of the device. The
devices POR behavior is set by the power-up configuration pins and the default POR values, as defined in the
MAX31790 IC data sheet. The USB-to-I2C master communicates to the Slave ID (hex) shown in the DashBoard
in the upper right side of the GUI. To change the target
slave address, enter the new value into the input field and
press the Set button.

Reads
Each register of the device can be read from the GUI

by the simple press of the associated Read button. The
registers are located in one of the tabs as defined below:

Pressing a Read button performs a single read of the
register(s) and updates the associated data fields. There
is also an option to do continuous reads of the device.
This AutoRead feature is located in the upper right
section of the GUI. To start polling at a 1Hz frequency,
press the Start AutoRead button. Each poll reads all
registers shown in the dashboard and the active tab then
updates the associated data fields. Once the continuous
reads start, the button text changes to Stop AutoRead
for the user to stop the reads. It is not recommended
to change register parameters through a write while
AutoRead is enabled.
The GUI provides a very simple way to dump all the
device registers to a text (.TXT) file. Under the Main Tab
sheet, press the Register Dump button and provide a
folder and file name. An example of a Register Dump is
shown in Figure 4.

Writes
Each register of the device can be written to/from the GUI

either by the simple click on the radio button or the input
of a decimal value followed by a press of the associated
Write button. The writable registers are located in one of
the tabs, as defined in the previous Reads section.
Clicking on any radio button or drop-down list automatically writes the selected value to the device. To verify a
successful write, perform a read that then updates the
field. To write a register that requires a numerical value,
such as TACH n Target Count or PWMOUT n Target
Duty, enter the decimal value desired for the nonreserved data bits of the registers. For example, to write
PWMOUT 1 Target Duty Cycle to a value of 39%, or
200 decimal (refer to the MAX31790 IC data sheet for
bit weighting), click on the FanChannel1 tab and enter
200 in the input box located to the left of the PWMOUT
1 Target Duty Cycle(40-41h) label and press the Write
(40-41h) button. This writes 64h to register 40h and 00h
to register 41h. Verify the write by pressing the Read
PWM Register button.
The GUI provides a very simple way to load all the device
registers from a text (.TXT) file. Under the Main Tab
sheet, press the Register Load button and provide a
previously saved Register Dump file or a modified
version of a previous dump. The register load file must
have the same format as the GUI-generated dump file.
General I2C Tab
The GUI provides a generic I2C tab (I2CMemory), which

is not required to evaluate the device. Use this tab if a
more flexible I2C transaction is required.
FULL_SPEED Input Signal Control
The GUI provides a method to control the FULL_SPEED

input to the device. On the right side of the GUI in the
DashBoard group box, there is a FULL_SPEED# section
with two radio buttons that toggles the logic level of this
signal between high and low.
FAN_FAIL Output Signal Monitor
Evaluates: MAX31790
Detailed Description of Hardware

User-Supplied Fans
The MAX31790 EV kit provides the flexibility to control

the speeds of up to six fans or monitor up to 12 fans.
The EV kit contains 12 fan headers (100 mil spacing) that
fans connect to. Refer to the MAX31790 IC data sheet
for various examples of fan configurations. Connect fans
to the correct GND, VFAN, TACH, and PWM headers. In
a closed-loop fan-control configuration on FAN1FAN6,
the jumper/shunt PWMn/FANn (J101, J201, J301, J401,
J501, and J601) must be populated. This connects the
PWM signal from the device to the fan header. To use
PWM outputs as tachometer inputs, open-loop monitor
configuration, on fan channel 1 for example, remove the
jumper/shunt on PWM1/Fan1 (J101) and attach a fan to
the Fan1/Fan7 headers. Connect the desired PWM signal
for Fan1 to the PWM1 header and connect the desired
PWM signal for Fan7 to the PWM7 test point. Properly
configure the device through the I2C port to reflect the
hardware configuration.
User-Supplied I2C interface
The USB-to-I2C master section of the EV kit is not

necessary for the proper operation of the device. If the
user wants to supply the I2C interface, the USB-toI2C master section of the EV kit can be disconnected
by removing resistors R7 and R8. Connect test points
SDA, SCL, and GND. The FULL_SPEED and FAN_FAIL
signals from the device can also be routed to a different
master by removing resistors R9 and R10 and connecting
to the FULL_SPD, FAN_FAIL, and GND test points.
Change Startup Configuration Jumpers
All the startup configuration jumpers (J2J8) are located

on the left side of the PCB and partitioned off by silkscreen labeled STARTUP CONFIGURATION. Refer to
the MAX31790 IC data sheet for resulting device operation. After changing jumper configurations, a device POR
or a setting of the Reset bit in the Global Configuration
register is required for new configurations to take effect.
The GUI provides a method to monitor the FAN_FAIL

output of the device. In the DashBoard group box, there
is a FAN_FAIL# Pin section that changes to reflect the
logic level of this signal.

Troubleshooting
All efforts were made to ensure that each EV kit works on the first try, right out-of-the-box. In the rare occasion that a
problem is suspected, see Table 3 to help troubleshoot the issue.
Table 3. Troubleshooting
SYMPTOM
GUI indicates: Hardware

not found
GUI Status indicates: Error

communicating with the
MAX31790
CHECK
SOLUTION
Is the LED labeled D1l red?
If yes, then the electronic fuse is in a fault state. Inspect for electrical
shorts on the PCB and make sure that the PCB is not sitting on a
conductive surface.
Does the LED labeled D2l

turn off when the GUI is
running?
If not, then exit the GUI and try running it again. If D2l still does not
turn off, then exit the GUI and power cycle the board by removing
and reapplying the user-supplied power source. Try connecting the
USB cable to a different USB port on the PC and wait for a Windows
message that states that the hardware is ready to use. Run the GUI
again. If D2l still does not turn off, unplug the USB cable and reboot
the PC. Connect the USB cable and open the GUI.
Are any of the LEDs

illuminated?
If not, then the PCB may not be getting power from the usersupplied power supply. Verify the power-supply bias with a voltmeter,
measuring from VCC to GND. Valid levels are 3V to 5.5V.
Slave address jumper

configuration (J5, J6)
Check the current setting of the slave address jumper configurations

(J5, J6) and input the resulting slave address in the Slave ID (Hex)
input box, then pressing the Set button.
