The most recent version of the Windows® GUI for the MAX14871EVKIT is available for download. While the Windows GUI application is simple to use, it can demonstrate all of the important features of the MAX14871.
SetupThe MAX14871 software automatically detects the presence of the EV kit. If the application is started before the EV kit is attached, all of the fields are greyed out except for the Connection indicator, which is red.
Once the EV kit is connected, the application indicator turns green and the fields become accessible.
The MAX14871 is capable of operating in any one of three current regulation modes: fast decay, slow decay, or 25% ripple current mode. To select a mode of operation, use the Current Regulation Logic table in the MAX14871 GUI, and set the mode and VREF voltage for the desired operation.
The VREF drop-down menu is used to set the voltage on VREF. Set the VREF voltage to limit the motor current using the following equation:
VREF = IMOTOR × AV × RSENSE
The on-board microcontroller on the MAX14871 generates a 25kHz switching signal on PWM or DIR. Use the radio buttons and text boxes along the left side of the GUI to operate the motor. Default duty cycles are set to 10%, 30%, 50%, or 90%. Max Fwd is a 100% duty cycle in the FWD direction. Max Rev is a 100% duty cycle in the reverse direction.
Shutdown mode pulls the EN input on the MAX14871 high, disabling the MAX14871 and making the M1 and M2 driver outputs high impedance. The motor is discharged through the diodes of the internal FETs and slows to a stop.
Brake mode enables the low-side drivers of M1 and M2, immediately shorting the motor current.
FAULT asserts low on the MAX14871 during an overcurrent condition and/or when the device is in thermal shutdown. On the MAX14871EVKIT, the Fault LED turns on when a fault occurs during normal operation. Similarly, the fault indicator on the GUI turns red when a fault occurs. FAULT deasserts, the on-board LED turns off, and the GUI indicator turns green again when the fault is removed.
