The MAX9507 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount printed-circuit board (PCB)
that evaluates the MAX9507 DirectDrive™ video filter
amplifier. The MAX9507 amplifies standard-definition
video signals and sets the video black level near
ground while consuming minimal power. The EV kit
operates from a 1.7V to 2.625V single power supply
and accepts an input video signal of up to 1VP-P. The
EV kit includes an I²C/SMBus™-compatible interface,
which provides software control of the video filter, analog
switches, load detection, and other functions.
The MAX9507 evaluation system (EV system) consists of
the MAX9507 EV kit and the Maxim CMAXQUSB+ command
module. A Windows® 98/2000/XP-compatible
software program is also available for use with the EV
system and can be downloaded from www.maxim-ic.com/evkitsoftware.
The Maxim CMAXQUSB+ command module provides
the I²C/SMBus interface and is connected to the computer
through the universal serial bus (USB) port. The
MAX9507 EV kit software provides a graphical user
interface (GUI) for exercising the MAX9507 features.
