DETAILED DESCRIPTION
The DS89C450 EV kit must be used with the DS89C430/DS89C450 ultra-high-speed flash microcontrollers IC data
sheet and the Ultra-High-Speed Flash Microcontroller User’s Guide (www.maxim-ic.com/user_guides). A complete
description of the bootstrap loader commands and functions is located in Section 15 of the Ultra-High-Speed Flash
Microcontroller User’s Guide.
The DS89C450 EV kit and all of its connectors are defined in the schematics provided in the accompanying
documentation disk. However, a short description of the major components of the board follows.
Power Supplies
The EV kit accepts a DC input supply at J1. The supply should be a 6V to 9V DC supply, center post positive, with
at least 300mA capacity. The exact DC input value of the supply is not important, as the on-board linear MAX1658
and MAX1659 regulators produce fixed 5V and 3.3V for use by the kit circuitry.
While it is possible to supply up to 16V at J1 (the maximum input voltage of the MAX1658 and MAX1659), doing so
results in a large amount of heat dissipation from the board. A small heatsink plane is provided on the backside of
the board beneath the linear regulators, but this may be inadequate at input voltages above 9V. If U1 and U2 are
hot, lower the DC input voltage at J1. Note that many unregulated DC wall plug-in supplies may provide an output
level much higher than their labeled output value if they are lightly loaded.
