DS2174DK MEMORY MAP 
The DS2174DK can be configured to suit a variety of needs. For example, this demo kit can be used as a stand-
alone design kit or it may be configured together with two DS2174DKs. The board can also be used with another 
system by using the on-board microcontroller or disabling the microcontroller and using the address/data bus 
header that is provided. 
Table 2
 shows how you can determine the base memory location for the DS2174 on the 
board.

DS2174DK TCLK SELECTION 
The DS2174DK provides three separate sources for TCLK: an on-board crystal oscillator, analog input, or TCLK 
from the system header. 
Table 3
 shows the different sources for TCLK and how to configure the DS2174DK.

POWER-SUPPLY CONNECTORS 
Connect a 5.0V power supply across the red (V
DD
) and black (GND) banana jacks. The red PWR LED indicates 
power is applied to the board. A voltage regulator then drops the supply to 3.3V, which is supplied to the DS2174. If 
you want to bring 5.0V and 3.0V to the address/data bus header, the JMP5 and JMP7 connectors should be 
closed. 
MICROCONTROLLER AND SERIAL CONNECTOR 
The DS2174DK has an on-board 8051 microcontroller with factory-installed firmware loaded in the microcontroller’s 
EPROM. This firmware translates memory access requests from the RS-232 serial port (57.6kB) to the 
write access for this device. Download the application from our website, www.maxim-ic.com/telecom
. 
Close JMP1 and JMP2 to enable the on-board microcontroller. If you are using an external controller to 
communicate with the DS2174, JMP1 and JMP2 must remain open to tri-state the address/data bus. 
If desired, the user can access the memory location on the board through any serial terminal program. All the write 
and read commands are distinguished with an “X” followed by the memory location. Depending on if it is a write or 
a read, the user provides data to be written to the memory location or expects data from the device.
