Hello Raju,
I saw the total post,i am also working on MAX3420E and i am very new in field of coding. I also have to read data from USB to Host and store it in a Notepad. Can you please provide the code for the same or can you guide me. I saw your code but i am not able to find the function where you are reading the data from USB.
Regards Anil
Hello,
I have connected the max3420e usb to my pc(via a USB Cable) but my pc is not able to detect the usb can you let me know that how my PC will detect the MAX3420E.
Because after connection I am not able to see any hardware change in my Device manager.
So please can you let me know how my PC detect MAX3420E. Will i have to wright any Driver code for that or is any Driver is Available.
Did you actually read that document from Maxim?
Have you actually visited the Maxim site, and looked at the support resources they provide?

You do understand that the MAX3420E isn't going to do anything on its own - it requires a microcontroller, and suitable code running in that microcontroller...

Thanks Andy for the information
You're welcome! But all I did was post links to information that's right there on the Maxim website just ready & waiting for any and all users of this chip.
You really should've been there already - and saved yourself 2 weeks!!
Hi,
My problem was that my pc is not detecting the MAX3420E USB,when i saw the link provided by you i got to know that MAX3420E wont talk to pc itself for that it requires Driver.Either it may be built into windows or it may be custom.
But now the problem is that i don't know how to wright driver program for USB and i am not able to find any driver software.so can you give some suggestion,so that i can solve my problem.
But do you not realize that you need different drivers depending on what the USB hardware on the outside claims it is? And you have just a USB chip but hasn't written any software yet that specifies what that USB device is? So you haven't yet configured the device side enough that a PC can know what driver to use - or if there even is a need for a custom USB driver...
So you really hadn't even visited the manufacturer's website before yesterday?!
"MAX3420E wont talk to pc itself for that it requires Driver"
It requires not only a driver in the PC, but also some kind of controller at the device end.
The MAX3420E itself doesn't "talk" at all - it is simply an interface through which a microcontroller (or whatever) can talk - provided that microcontroller (or whatever) has the appropriate "talking" capabilities.
In the case of a microcontroller, those "talking" capabilities would be provided by you writing the necessary software.
You said in your opening post,
"i am very new in field of coding"
It appears that you also have no experience with embedded development in general, nor USB in particular.
Don't you think it might be better to start on something a little easier - learn to crawly before trying to run?!
