The device is configurable through an I 2C interface that
allows for programming various functions and reading
device status. The EV kit GUI application sends
commands to the MAXPICO2PMB# adapter board to
configure the device.
The EV kit comes standard with the MAX20363 EV kit
version IC installed.

DESCRIPTION
PC GUI Program
Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet.
The EV kit is fully assembled and tested. Follow the steps
to install the EV kit software, make required hardware
connections, and start operation of the kit.
1. Visit www.analog.com/en/design-center/evaluationhardware-and-software/evaluation-boards-kits under
the “Design & Development” tab to download the
latest version of the MAX20363 EV kit software. Save
the software to a temporary folder and unpack the zip
file.
2. Install the EV kit software on the computer by running
the MAX20363GUI_SetupX.X.X.exe program inside
the temporary folder. This copies the program files and
creates an icon in the Windows Start menu. The
software requires the .NET Framework 4.5 or later. If
connected to the internet, Windows automatically
updates the .NET Framework as needed.
3. The EV kit software launches automatically after
installation, and it can be launched by clicking its icon
in the Windows Start menu.
4. Verify that all jumpers are in their default positions, as
shown in Table 1.
5. Connect the type-A end of a cable to the PC and the
micro-USB end of a cable to the MAXPICO2PMB#
board, and connect the MAXPICO2PMB# to J4 located
on the top left of the EV kit board. Verify that LED DS10
is illuminated.
6. Connect a USB to the micro-B cable from the computer
to J1 on the lower left corner of the EV kit board to use
VBUS to power MAX20363. Verify that LED DS1 is
illuminated. Use a voltmeter to check TP15 BAT
voltage and it should be about 5V.
