The fiber optic monitor and control evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a hardware and software interface for evaluating the DS1854, DS1857, DS1858, and DS1859. The kit includes Microsoft Windows®-compatible software that performs the 2-wire functions required to change the device settings and monitor the device registers. In addition to the general communications functions provided by the software, it allows the resistors' temperature-addressed look-up tables to be programmed from a text file. The kit hardware includes test points that allow inputs to be connected to the external stimuli and outputs to be monitored by test equipment; jumpers can be used to configure the device for the customer's application.

Part number suffixes: T or T&R = tape and reel; + = RoHS/lead-free; # = RoHS/lead-exempt; -D = drypack; -U/+U on DS parts = cut tape. More: See Full Data Sheet or Maxim Product Naming Conventions.
* Some packages have variations, listed on the drawing. "PkgCode/Variation" tells which variation the product uses. Note that "+", "#", "-" in the part number suffix describes RoHS status. Package drawings may show a different suffix character.
