The MAX7044 evaluation kit (EV kit) allows for a
detailed evaluation of the MAX7044 ASK transmitter. It
enables testing of the device's RF performance and
requires no additional support circuitry. The RF output
uses a 50Ω matching network and an SMA connector
for convenient connection to test equipment. A reverse
polarity SMA is also included to connect to a 1/4-wave
whip antenna. The EV kit can also directly interface to
the user's embedded design for easy data encoding.
The MAX7044EV kit comes in two versions: a 315MHz
version and a 433.92MHz version. The passive components
are optimized for these frequencies. These components
can easily be changed to work at RF frequencies
from 300MHz to 450MHz.
For easy implementation into the customer's design, the
MAX7044 EV kit also features a proven PC board layout,
which can be easily duplicated for quicker time-to-market.
The EV kit Gerber files are available for download
