Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX4147x Evaluation Kits

Analog Devices MAX4147x Evaluation Kits evaluate the MAX41470, MAX41473, and MAX41474 a sub-1GHz ISM receivers. The Kits contain a single MAX4147x high output power VHF/UHF sub-GHz ISM/SRD receiver. It is designed to receive frequency-shift keying (FSK), Gaussian GFSK, or amplitude-shift keying (ASK) data in the 287MHz to 320MHz, 425MHz to 480MHz, and 860MHz to 960MHz frequency ranges.

The Analog Devices MAX4147x Evaluation Kits operate in conjunction with an external microcontroller (MCU) and graphical user interface (GUI) software running on a computer. The MAX4147x uses an SPI interface for internal register configurations. The evaluation kits include Windows® 10-compatible software that provides a simple GUI for the configuration of all the MAX4147x registers through the SPI port. The GUI also controls the onboard PMIC when the MAX32630FTHR applications platform is used.
