Analog Devices Inc. MAX32000 Evaluation Kit

Analog Devices MAX32000 Evaluation Kit is a fully assembled and tested printed circuit board (PCB) allowing for the demonstration of the MAX32000. The MAX32000 High-Speed Quad Driver is fully integrated with built-in level-setting DACs. The kit has standard 50Ω SMA connectors for inputs and outputs, allowing for quick and easy evaluation on the test bench.

The Analog Devices MAX32000 Evaluation Kit features a microcontroller that translates between the SPI interface and USB to allow the user to configure internal registers and modes with graphical user interface (GUI) software running on a PC. The kit has Windows® 10-compatible software that provides a simple GUI for configuring all the MAX32000 registers through SPI.
