Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX32000 Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices MAX32000 Evaluation Kit is a fully assembled and tested printed circuit board (PCB) allowing for the demonstration of the MAX32000. The MAX32000 High-Speed Quad Driver is fully integrated with built-in level setting DACs.

The Analog Devices MAX32000 Evaluation Kit has standard 50Ω SMA connectors for inputs and outputs, allowing for quick and easy evaluation on the test bench.

The MAX32000 Evaluation Kit features a microcontroller that translates between the SPI interface and USB to allow the user to configure internal registers and modes with a graphical user interface (GUI) software running on a PC. The Kit has Windows® 10-compatible software that provides a simple GUI for configuration of all the MAX32000 registers through SPI.
