MAX31790评估套件提供了评估MAX31790所需的硬件和软件图形用户界面(GUI)。套件中安装了MAX31790ATI+,并配备了USB - to - I2C接口。其USB - to - I2C主部分标记为“MAXIM DS3900U HID”,可用于与评估套件软件交互,测试设备功能。不过,套件提供了连接用户自备风扇的接口,但不包含风扇。
| 评估套件包含多种电子元件,以下是部分主要组件: | DESIGNATION | QTY | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| J1, J101, J201, J301, J401, J501, J601 | 7 | 2 - pin headers, 2.54mm pitch 3M 961102 - 6404 - AR | |
| J1I | 1 | USB_ 5 - pin female header Molex 54819 - 0519 | |
| Q1I | 1 | nMOS (SOT323) ON Semi NTS4001NT1G | |
| R1–R4, R101, R103, R201, R203, R301, R303, R401, R403, R501, R503, R601, R603 | 16 | 4.7kΩ ±1% resistors (0805) Vishay CRCW08054K70FKEA |
这些组件共同构成了评估套件的硬件基础,为MAX31790的评估提供了支持。
GUI右下角的状态框用于向用户传达信息,可通过“Clear Button”清除。若通信正常,显示“DS3900 Connected”;否则显示“DS3900 Disconnected!!”。
成功完成设置后,用户可开始评估设备。设备的POR行为由上电配置引脚和默认POR值确定。可通过GUI输入新的从机地址并点击“Set”按钮来更改目标从机地址。
评估套件可控制多达六个风扇的速度或监控多达12个风扇。用户需将风扇连接到正确的GND、VFAN、TACH和PWM接口,并根据需要配置跳线。
若用户想使用自备的I2C接口,可通过移除电阻R7和R8断开评估套件的USB - to - I2C主部分,并连接测试点SDA、SCL和GND。
所有启动配置跳线(J2 - J8)位于PCB左侧,更改跳线配置后,需进行设备POR或设置全局配置寄存器中的复位位以使新配置生效。
| 尽管评估套件经过精心设计和测试,但偶尔可能会出现问题。以下是一些常见问题及解决方法: | SYMPTOM | CHECK | SOLUTION |
|---|---|---|---|
| GUI indicates: Hardware not found | 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 user - supplied power supply. Verify the power - supply bias with a voltmeter, measuring from VCC to GND. Valid levels are 3V to 5.5V. | ||
| GUI Status indicates : Error communicating with the MAX31790 | 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. |
