The MAX7500 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount PCB that evaluates the MAX7500 digital temperature sensor. The MAX7500 accurately measures temperature and provides an overtemperature alarm/interrupt/shutdown output.
The EV kit is self-powered from the on-board USB interface and selects between the eight available I²C slave addresses of the MAX7500 IC. The MAX7500 EV kit can also evaluate the MAX7501–MAX7504 ICs. Request free IC samples from the factory when ordering the MAX7500 EV kit.
The MAX7500 EV kit provides an on-board I²C/SMBus™ interface and is connected to the computer through the universal serial bus (USB) port. The EV kit includes Windows® 2000/XP and Windows Vista®-compatible software that provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for control of the MAX7500's programmable features.
