Use the mouse, or press the tab key to navigate with the arrow keys. Each of the buttons correspond to bits in the command and configuration bytes. By pressing them, the correct I2C-compatible write operation is generated to update the internal registers of the MAX9598. The Interface group box indicates the current I2C-compatible Device Address, Register Address Sent, and the Data Sent/Received for the last read/write operation. This data is used to confirm proper device operation. The MAX9598 EV kit software splits and groups the functions of the MAX9598 into three separate categories. TV, VCR, and Configuration functions can be accessed by selecting the appropriate tab at the top left of the MAX9598 EV kit software main window. The TV and VCR tab sheets of the MAX9598 EV kit software are again split into two sections, Video Control and Audio Control. The device status registers (refer to the MAX9598 IC data sheet for status register information) are displayed in the MAX9598 Status group box and the Video Activity Status group box at the bottom right of the main window. To read the status register, press the Read Status button, or check the Automatic Status Read checkbox to automatically read the status register every 250ms. The Interrupt Status group box allows the user to detect interrupts by checking the Interrupt Enable checkbox. Press the POR Reset button to reset the MAX9598 registers and EV kit software to their power-on-reset configuration. Table 1.

MAX9598 EV Kit Software Main Window (TV Control Tab) TV Controls (Video Control) TV Controls (Audio Control) The Video Control group box of the MAX9598 EV kit software (Figure 1) allows the user to reroute selected signals to the TV SCART connector. Other functions, such as Fast Switching and Slow Switching, can also be changed through the Video Control group box. Manipulate the drop-down lists to achieve the desired result. The Audio Control group box of the MAX9598 EV kit software allows the user to adjust various audio characteristics of the TV output. Input Source, Mute, and Zero Crossing Detector can also be accessed from the Audio Control group box (refer to the MAX9598 IC data sheet for a description of each of these functions). _______________________________________________________________________________________ 5 Evaluates: MAX9598 MAX9598 Evaluation Kit Figure 2. MAX9598 EV Kit Software Main Window (VCR Control Tab) VCR Controls (Video Control) Configuration Controls The VCR tab sheet of the MAX9598 EV kit software is shown in Figure 2. SCART output signals (VCR_Y/ CVBS_OUT and VCR_R/C_OUT), Chrominance Bias at VCR_R/C_IN, Slow Switching, and Pulldown VCR_R/C_OUT functions can all be accessed through the Video Control group box. Selecting the Configuration tab sheet (Figure 3) of the MAX9598 EV kit software allows the user to adjust configuration features of the MAX9598. Checking desired checkboxes in the Output Enable group box will enable selected outputs of the MAX9598. The Operating Modes group box allows the user to select one of four power modes. A bias voltage can also be applied at the R/C input of the encoder (Chrominance Bias at ENC_R/C_IN). The EV kit software checks to see if the slave is present every second. Checking the Disable I2C Activity checkbox will stop activity between the microcontroller and the MAX9598 when the software is idle. VCR Controls (Audio Control) Adjust the Input Source through the Audio Control group box of the MAX9598 EV kit software. 6 _______________________________________________________________________________________ MAX9598 Evaluation Kit Evaluates: MAX9598 Figure 3. MAX9598 EV Kit Software Main Window (Configuration Control Tab) Simple I2C Commands There are two methods for communicating with the MAX9598: through the normal user-interface main window or through the I2C commands available by selecting the Options | Interface (Advanced Users) from the menu bar. A display pops up that allows the SMBusTM/I2C-compatible protocols, such as Read Byte and Write Byte, to be executed. The only SMBus/I2Ccompatible protocols used by the MAX9598 are: * 1 - SMBusWriteByte(addr,cmd,data8) * 4 - SMBusReadByte(addr,cmd) data8 The combo and edit boxes accept numeric data in hexadecimal and should be prefixed by 0x. See Figure 4 for an example of this tool. In the example shown in Figure 4, the software is reading from device address 1001011 r/w binary and register address 0x01. Detailed Description of Hardware The MAX9598 EV kit is an assembled and tested PCB that demonstrates the features of the MAX9598 dual SCART audio/video switch matrix. It routes audio, video, and control signals between a set-top box decoder chip and the TV and VCR SCART connectors. All video connections are made through 75 controlled-impedance traces. Connect a TV and VCR to the corresponding SCART connectors. The set-top box decoder video connections are made through the 75 BNC jacks with the ENC prefix. Audio signals from the stereo audio DAC are connected to the white and red (P4 and P5) RCA phono jacks. Monitor the R/C inputs of the VCR connections through the VCR_R/C_IN BNC jack. SMBus is a trademark of Intel Corp. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 Evaluates: MAX9598 MAX9598 Evaluation Kit Figure 4. Example of a Simple SMBusReadByte Operation Using the Advance User Interface Address Selection Jumper JU1 sets the MAX9598 slave address. The default address is 1001 011Y (DEV_ADDR = VDD). See Table 1 for a complete list of addresses. Audio Encoder Inputs Connect a stereo audio source that represents the encoder audio to P4 (left audio) and P5 (right audio). The Cirrus CS4334/5/8/9 and Burr-Brown PCM1742 are commonly used in set-top boxes to convert a digital I2S audio stream to analog-stereo audio signals. The fullscale audio level of the CS4334 is 1.2VRMS, while the full-scale audio level of the PCM1742 is 1.1VRMS. Both parts center their audio outputs in the middle of their analog supply voltage range. The ENC_INL and ENC_INR inputs expect the incoming audio signal to have a full-scale of 0.5VRMS and to be centered around ground. Therefore, the audio signals 8 presented to P4 and P5 are AC-coupled and attenuated by a resistor-divider network. The amount of attenuation is determined by jumpers JU2 and JU3. If the shunt position is 1-2, the resistor-divider network attenuates a 1.2VRMS full-scale audio signal to a 0.5VRMS full-scale audio signal. If the shunt position is 2-3, the resistordivider network attenuates a 1.1VRMS full-scale audio signal to a 0.5VRMS full-scale audio signal. If the audio source does not have either a 1.2VRMS or 1.1VRMS full-scale signal, then the resistor-divider network can be adjusted to accommodate another fullscale audio level. For example, if the incoming audio signal is 2V RMS full-scale, then the signal must be attenuated by a factor of 4. Set the shunt positions of JU2 and JU3 to 1-2. Change resistors R57 and R59 from a 4.53k resistor to a 2.2k resistor. _______________________________________________________________________________________ MAX9598 Evaluation Kit Evaluates: MAX9598 Figure 5a.
