Evaluation Kit for the MAX7042

Part Number	Status
MAX7042EVKIT	Active: In Production. See Ordering Information for details.

The MAX7042 evaluation kit (EV kit) allows for a detailed evaluation of the MAX7042 superheterodyne receiver. It enables testing of the device's RF performance and requires no additional support circuitry. The RF input circuit is designed to work with a 50Ω source impedance RF signal generator and has an SMA connector for convenient connection to test equipment. The EV kit can also directly interface to the user's embedded design for easy data decoding.

The MAX7042 EV kit comes in two versions, a 315MHz version and a 433.92MHz version. The passive components are optimized for these frequencies. These components can be changed to work at 308MHz and 418MHz. In addition, the 4kbps Manchester received data rate can be adjusted from 0kbps to 33kbps by changing two more components.

For easy implementation into the customer's design, the MAX7042 EV kit also features a proven PCB layout that can be duplicated easily for quicker time to market. The EV kit Gerber files are available upon request.
