The MAX9406 PCIe®-To-HDMI™ evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested circuit board that demonstrates the capabilities of the MAX9406 DisplayPort™ to DVI™/HDMI level shifter. The correct version of the Intel graphics chipset driver and video BIOS need to be installed properly to use the MAX9406 EV kit.
The MAX9406 EV kit should be plugged into a PCI Express® (PCIe) bus slot on a PC that supports DisplayPort as defined by VESA, such as Intel's Eaglelake/Cantiga chipset with an integrated graphics controller.
The MAX9406 EV kit PCB comes with a MAX9406ETJ+ installed (32-pin thin QFN package with an exposed pad).
