Introduction
Buildings, the stages upon which we play out our personal and business lives, provide tremendous benefits with automation. Energy savings, comfort, and enhanced safety and security are a few of the substantial benefits. In order to maximize these benefits, legacy systems must be integrated with modern control and communications. Enter MAXREFDES130#. This unique design features multiple analog IO, matching the 0V to 10V and 4-20mA systems that are embedded in many buildings and control systems. In addition, both nonlatching and latching relays provide the ability to control multiple power lines and control temperature, both saving energy and ensuring a comfortable climate. Most importantly, MAXREFDES130# features a 1-Wire® master bus for use with MAXREFDES131#, the 1-Wire® Grid-EYE® sensor, bringing modern presence and gesture sensing feedback to the platform.
MAXREFDES130# is an Arduino® form-factor shield compatible with ARM® mbed™ and Arduino platforms providing a complete reference for prototyping your next building automation design. The design includes eight 0VDC-10VDC analog outputs, one 4-20mA output, one 4-20mA input, eight nonlatching relays, three latching relays, an RTC, and 1-Wire master.
Libraries supporting the MAX11300 or PIXI™, MAX4822, DS3231, and 1-Wire have been developed for both mbed and Arduino to support rapid prototyping with MAXREFDES130#. Demonstration programs for both Arduino and mbed are available at the following links respectively.
Figure 1 outlines the generation of the different voltage rails used in MAXREFDES130#.
A single 24VDC power supply, either the provided wall-adapter or a user-supplied bench power supply, provides power to the design through either J1 or TB11, respectively. Use JP1 to select either the wall adapter or the bench supply.
The dual output MAX17521 and single-output MAX15062 efficiently step down the 24V input to the following voltage rails;
- MAX17521, 5V at 0.5A for the 5V coils of the nonlatching relays K1-K9.
- MAX17521, 7.3V at 0.5A sourcing VIN of the user-supplied mbed or Arduino platform.
- MAX15062, 12V AVDDIO positive supply for mixed signal IO of the PIXI.
The output of the MAX15062 is further converted to the following rails;
- MAX5091A, 5V AVDD analog supply of the PIXI.
- MAX5091B, 3.3V DVDD digital supply of PIXI, DS2484, DS3231, and logic-level translators.
- MAX889, -2V AVSSIO negative supply for mixed signal IO of the PIXI.
All six voltage rails have LED indicators, D3-D8, providing visual indication of their operation.

Figure 2 provides a block diagram of MAXREFDES130# sub-systems.
The MAX3392, MAX3393, and MAX3394 provide logic-level translation between the host platform and MAXREFDES130#. The platform side of the LTs use IOREF of the platform as a reference. The other side is 3.3V logic. All DIO of the Arduino pin configuration, D0-D15, is used for the reference design except for D0-D3. D0 and D1 are broke out to 0.1in male header H6.
The MAX4822 relay driver interfaces to the host controller over the SPI bus and controls nonlatching relays K1-K8. The contacts of K1-K8 are rated for 250VAC/100VDC 10A max. The MAX11300, PIXI, also interfaces to the host controller over the SPI bus and is configured for nine DAC outputs, three GPO, and one ADC. The first eight DAC outputs source the 0V-10V analog outputs at TB9. The ninth DAC output provides the control signal for the MAX44244 op-amp configured as a difference amplifier, which drives Q1 pass transistor for sourcing the 4-20mA output AIO at TB12. The three GPO configured ports drive the coils of the latching relays K9-K11. The ADC-configured port senses the 4-20mA input AII using a sense resistor.
The DS3231 RTC and DS2484 1-Wire master both interface to the host controller over the I2C bus. A DS2431 1-Wire EEPROM allows for saving calibration data for the 4-20mA loop. Additional 1-Wire slaves can be accessed with the 6P6C RJ-11 jack J2. 3.3V limited to 0.1A is available at pin 1 of J2.
All six voltage rails have LED indicators, D3-D8, providing visual indication of their operation.
