Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX44211EVKIT Evaluation Kit
Analog Devices MAX44211EVKIT Evaluation Kit provides a proven design that evaluates the MAX44211 High-Current Differential Line Driver for powerline communications (PLC). The Analog Devices MAX44211 is a line driver that is an efficient low-distortion power amplifier that provides high current to low-impedance loads. The evaluation kit includes a connector with accessible signals and supplies for the host processor. It is fully assembled and tested.
The Analog Devices MAX44211EVKIT Evaluation Kit features a pre-mounted MAX44211 in a 20-pin TQFN package. The Evaluation Kit also includes a MAX9626 Differential Amplifier to generate the differential signal required by the MAX44211 from a single-ended input. The jumpers are used for gain and current limit settings, transmit enabling (TXEN), setting modes (MODE), and removing the single to differential input feature. A 12-pin connector is available to connect to a host processor. Also included are LEDs to indicate the status of the MAX44211.
