MAX5960L Evaluation Kit/
Evaluation System
The MAX5960L evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount quad hot-plug controller
printed-circuit board (PCB) with four PCI Express® hotplug slots. The circuit uses a MAX5960L IC in an 80-pin
TQFP package. The EV kit provides independent power
control for the 12V, 3.3V, and 3.3V auxiliary outputs at
four PCI Express x16 connectors. The EV kit demonstrates the MAX5960L IC’s inrush current control, output overcurrent/short-circuit protection, and input
undervoltage monitoring features.
The MAX5960L IC controls two separate external
n-channel MOSFETs for the 12V and 3.3V outputs of
each channel, respectively. Additionally, the MAX5960L
has internal MOSFETs that control the 3.3V auxiliary
outputs of channels A, B, C, and D. Switches are provided to independently enable/disable each channels’
main (12V, 3.3V) and auxiliary supply (3.3V).
The MAX5960L EV kit can be reconfigured for evaluating a x1, x4, or x8 PCI Express quad hot-plug design.
Alternatively, the EV kit can also be used to demonstrate the MAX5960L hot-plug features without using
the PCI Express x16 connectors.
The EV kit includes three MAX7313 I/O expanders that
enable communication through an SMBus™ interface for
the MAX5960L signals and some of the PCI Express
channel signals. A CMAXQUSB interface board can be
used to enable PC communication through the SMBus
interface. Simple Windows® 98SE/2000/XP-compatible
software is provided to access each MAX7313 I/O
expander register at the bit level. The MAX5960L EV kit
can also be used in local control, without any software.
Order the MAX5960LEVCMAXQU for a complete PCbased evaluation of the MAX5960L. Order the
MAX5960LEVKIT if you already have a CMAXQUSB
interface board or do not require PC-based evaluation
of the MAX5960L.

Detailed Description
The MAX5960L EV kit demonstrates a PCI Express x16
quad hot-plug circuit design. Four PCI Express x16 channels (A, B, C, and D) are provided to evaluate PCI Express
x16 line cards. The EV kit uses a latching MAX5960L
hot-plug controller in an 80-pin TQFP package to control
all four channels’ output power and monitor for faults.
The MAX5960L IC controls each channel’s output
power independently. External n-channel MOSFETs are
used to control power to the 12V and 3.3V outputs of
each channel. Current-sensing resistors R32, R47, R34,
and R48 are used for the 12V, and resistors R39, R53,
R40, and R54 for the 3.3V outputs of the respective
channel. Internal MOSFETs on the MAX5960L control
the 3.3V auxiliary outputs of each channel.
If an overcurrent fault persists on either channel, the
MAX5960L will shut down the respective channel. The
fault is reported at the respective channels’ open-drain
power-good pin (PWRGD_) and fault pin (FAULT_). The
MAX5960L power-on reset (POR) is configured for
160ms; however, the POR can be reconfigured after
installing resistor R18.
Slide switches are provided to enable/disable each
channel’s main output and auxiliary output independently when the SMBus control is not used. Jumpers
JU1–JU4 can be used to provide a presence-detect
function for the respective channel if PCI Express cards
are not used. Momentary pushbutton switches
SW1–SW4 are provided to demonstrate the MAX5960L
debounced logic gate outputs.
The MAX5960L EV kit features green LEDs connected
to each channel’s 12V, 3.3V, and 3.3V auxiliary output
that indicate if the respective output is currently powered. Red test points for the 12V and 3.3V outputs, various PCI Express signals, and other circuit signals such
as the gate drive of each MOSFET have been provided
for probing on the EV kit board. All the EV kit’s black
test points are GND points.
The EV kit also features PCB pads for installing external
resistors and capacitors near each MOSFET gate terminal to increase the MOSFET’s gate-turn-on time.
Surface-mount 0805 case-size components can be
installed at these locations. See Figure 4 for each of the
MOSFET’s gate R and C designators.
The EV kit can be reconfigured for evaluating a x1, x4, or
x8 PCI Express quad hot-plug design by replacing the
appropriate current-sense resistor, R32, R34, R47, or
R48. Consult the appropriate PCI Express specification
in the MAX5960L IC data sheet for selecting other
designs. PCB pads are provided to demonstrate the
MAX5960L hot-plug features without using the PCI
Express x16 connectors.

MAX5960L Evaluation Kit/
Evaluation System
For evaluating external DC loads, the cables connecting the 12V and 3.3V outputs to the external DC load
must be rated for at least 10A and be shorter than 12in.
Additionally, all current-sense resistors are configured
for the maximum allowable output current on the 12V
and 3.3V outputs. These resistors should be reconfigured only for lower output currents.
The MAX5960L EV kit features three MAX7313 16-port
I/O expanders (U2, U3, U4) and PCB pads for interfacing to a user’s SMBus system. Resistors configure each
MAX7313 to a fixed SMBus serial address. The
address of U2 is 0x40, U3 is 0x42, and U4 is 0x44. The
MAX7313 can also be used to enable/disable each
channel’s main output and auxiliary output independently. See the MAX7313 Input/Output Expanders and
SMBus Interface section for more details.
Jumper and Switch Selection
The jumper and switch selections in the following tables
display the functions provided by the MAX5960L EV kit.
Presence-Detect Channels A, B, C, and D
The MAX5960L EV kit features four jumpers that can
simulate a PCI Express x16 card being plugged into a
connector. Jumpers JU1, JU2, JU3, and/or JU4 are
used to provide a presence-detect function for the
respective channel. An external load (resistive and
capacitive) must be connected to the channel’s output
PCB pads simulating a real PCI Express card. Table 1
lists the various jumper options.
Channel A Enable/Disable Switches
The MAX5960L EV kit features two switches to
enable/disable the 12V/3.3V main and 3.3V auxiliary
channel A outputs. The switches can also be used to
reset a channel that has latched off after a fault has
occurred. Table 2 lists the various switch options.
Channel B Enable/Disable Switches
The MAX5960L EV kit features two switches to
enable/disable the 12V/3.3V main and 3.3V auxiliary
channel B outputs. The switches can also be used to
reset a channel that has latched off after a fault has
occurred. Table 3 lists the various switch options.

resetting the respective channel. Refer to the
MAX5960L IC data sheet for additional functions of the
MAX5960L ON_ pins.
Fault Timeout and POR Periods
The MAX5960L fault timeout period is configured for
10ms and can be reconfigured to a new timeout period
by installing surface-mount resistor R17. The MAX5960L
POR timeout period is configured for 160ms; however, a
new POR timeout period can be reconfigured by
installing surface-mount resistor R18. Install a 0Ω resistor at R18 to bypass the POR time period delay. Refer to

Channel C Enable/Disable Switches
The MAX5960L EV kit features two switches to
enable/disable the 12V/3.3V main and 3.3V auxiliary
channel C outputs. The switches can also be used to
reset a channel that has latched off after a fault has
occurred. Table 4 lists the various switch options.

Forced ON Inputs
Either channel PCI Express slot can be forced to turn
on regardless of the MAX5960L logic status inputs. To
force channel A on, install surface-mount resistor R9 or
install the respective channel’s resistor. Typical values
are less than 1kΩ. Additionally, the MAX5960L EV kit
software can be used to force a channel on without
installing the resistor. See the Software Startup section
for more information.
Current Limiting
The MAX5960L EV kit is configured for PCI Express x16
current limits. The EV kit can also evaluate other current-limit configurations for the 12V and 3.3V main outputs of each channel. Resistors R32, R47, R34, and
R48 set the 12V current-limit for channels A, B, C, and
D, respectively. Resistors R39, R53, R40, and R54 set
the 3.3V current limit for channels A, B, C, and D,
respectively. These resistors should be reconfigured
only for lower output currents. Refer to the MAX5960L
IC data sheet for information on selecting other currentlimit resistors.
The 3.3V auxiliary current limit is fixed at 700mA (typ)
and is not reconfigurable. However, a MAX5959L can
be installed to evaluate an auxiliary current limit of
470mA (typ) with the EV kit.
Evaluating Other Quad PCI Express
Hot-Plug Controllers
The MAX5960L EV kit can be used to evaluate the
MAX5959A, MAX5959L, or MAX5960A. Replace U1
with the desired Maxim IC that can be ordered through
the factory.

MAX7313 Input/Output Expanders and
SMBus Interface
The MAX5960L EV kit features three MAX7313 I/O
expanders (U2, U3, U4) and PCB pads for connecting to
an SMBus system (SDA and SCL signals). The I/O
expander interfaces with the PRES-DET_, FAULT_, ON_,
OUT_, PWRGD_, and FON_ signals of the MAX5960L for
each channel. Headers J5–J8 (8 pins) are provided to
enable easy access to the respective channel’s signals
through a ribbon cable or scope probe. Green and yellow LEDs (D14–D21) are also provided for user applications such as status indication. Jumpers JU9, JU10,
JU15, and JU16 are provided to mimic a PCI Express
mechanical retention locking (MRL) signal for the
respective channel. Resistors configure each MAX7313
to a fixed SMBus serial address, where U2 is 0x40, U3 is
0x42, and U4 is 0x44.
If the MAX7313 I/O expander is used to control the ON_
signals and read back various other MAX5960L signals
of each channel, jumpers JU5–JU14 must be properly
configured or the I/O expanders may be destroyed
when switching logic states. See Table 6 for configuring jumpers JU5–JU14. Pads are provided on the EV
kit’s PCB for interfacing with a user’s system SMBus
VDD, SDA, SCL, and GND signals.
If a user’s SMBus system is not available, a Windowsbased computer can be interfaced with the EV kit by
connecting the CMAXQUSB interface board to connector J9. The interface board enables the computer to interface with the EV kit’s SMBus signals. The SMBus
interface board and software provides the user with an
option of using a Windows-based GUI interface or “bitbanging” signals to and from the MAX7313 I/O
expander’s various registers to control the MAX5960L IC.

Detailed Description
of Software
A mouse or the keyboard’s Tab key is used to navigate
various items on the Main Window. Most of the main
window’s available functions and a few more can be
evaluated by using the pulldown menu. The software
features a demo mode that is available using the
View|Demo Mode pulldown menu.
Software Startup
Upon starting the program, the MAX5960L EV kit software automatically detects U2, U3, and U4 addresses
and configures their I/O. See Tables 7 and 8 for U2, U3,
and U4 configuration by the software. The MAX5960L EV
kit’s various status signals are then updated by the program approximately every 500ms. Use the checkboxes
to enable/disable various EV kit functions and then
select the Execute Command button to send the commands to the respective I/O expander and/or U1.
Deselecting a checkbox disables the command.
To force a respective channel ON, select the respective
channel’s latching FORCE ON button. To turn OFF a
forced ON channel, select the button again. When a
respective channel is forced ON, that particular channel’s controls are disabled until force ON is turned off.
The software’s Status area provides information on the
various MAX5960L and PCI Express system signal’s
condition. Each MAX7313 I/O expander SMBus
address is provided in hexadecimal and decimal format, respectively. The left bottom status bar of the main
window provides the CMAXQUSB interface board communication status. The right bottom status bar provides
the current program status and SMBus communication
status with respect to the respective I/O expander.
The MAX5960L EV kit software configures the CMAXQUSB
interface board’s SMBus communication speed to
400kHz by default. The speed can be reduced to
100kHz if required, by selecting the pulldown menu’s
View|2-Wire Speed|100kHz selection. This may be
required if slower SMBus or 2-wire devices are connected to the bus on the EV kit.
General-Purpose 2-Wire Interface Utility
The general-purpose 2-wire interface utility can also be
used to communicate with the MAX7313 and thus control or read back signals from the MAX7313 and/or
MAX5960L. Use the View|Interface pulldown menu to
access the utility. The utility configures the SMBus interface parameters such as start and stop bits, acknowledgments, and clock timing. The 2-wire interface
screen allows you to send general-purpose SMBus
commands using the SMBusWriteByte and
SMBusReadByte. The interface utility only accepts
and outputs hexadecimal number format.
The Hunt for active listeners button scans the entire
2-wire address space, reporting each address that is
acknowledged. The SMBusWriteByte transmits the
device address, command, and 1 byte of data. The
SMBusReadByte transmits the device address, a command, and then retransmits the device address and
reads 1 byte of data.

General Troubleshooting
Problem: Software reports it cannot find the interface board.
•
Is the interface board power LED lit?
•
Is the USB communications cable connected?
•
Has Windows plug-and-play detected the board?
Bring up Control Panel->System->Device
Manager, and look at what device nodes are indicated for USB. If there is an “unknown device” node
attached to the USB, delete it—this forces plugand-play to try again.
Problem: Unable to find U2, U3, or U4 (MAX7313).
• Is power applied to the MAX5960L EV kit VIN2 and
VIN3 banana jacks? This is required for powering
U2, U3, and U4.
•
Are the SCL and SDA signals pulled up to VDD?
The CMAXQUSB interface board dip switch SW1
enables the on-board resistors on the interface
board. There must be pullup resistors somewhere
for the SMBus SCL and SDA signals.
•
If using jumper wires to connect, are the SCL and
SDA signals swapped? Is the ground return missing?
