Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX4146xEVKIT Transmitter Evaluation Kits
Analog Devices MAX4146xEVKIT Transmitter Evaluation Kits are for evaluating the MAX41461, MAX41462, MAX41463, or MAX41464 transmitters. The evaluation kit contains a single MAX4146x high output power VHF/UHF sub-GHz ISM/ SRD transmitter. The transmitter is designed to transmit Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK), Gaussian GFSK, or Amplitude-Shift Keying (ASK) data in the 286MHz to 960MHz frequency range.
MAX4146xEVKIT evaluation kits operate in conjunction with an external microcontroller (MCU) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) software running on a computer. The MAX41460 uses an SPI interface for internal register configurations, while the MAX41461–MAX41464 can use the preset modes or an I2C interface for register programming and control.
Analog Devices MAX4146xEVKIT evaluation kits are also designed to operate with a simple, one-pin data interface. The interface alleviates the need to program the part for nominal operation or other high-level systems (PC with GUI software) having to configure the transmitter for operation. These parts allow the user to preset the operating frequencies by part selection and pin configurations. On the evaluation kit, selecting the frequency of operation is as simple as setting two jumpers.
The evaluation kits include Windows® 7/10-compatible software that provides a simple graphical user interface (GUI) for configuring all the MAX4146x registers through the SPI or I2C ports. The GUI also controls the onboard PMIC and can act as a data generator when the MAX32630FTHR Applications Platform is used.
