MAX1455 Evaluation Kit
Evluates:MAX145
General Description
Features
♦ Proven PCB Layout
The MAX1455 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates resis-
tive element sensor compensation and calibration using
the MAX1455 and a computer. The kit includes an
assembled and tested PCB, which is available with a
factory-calibrated sensor (MAX1455EVKIT-CS) or with-
out a sensor (MAX1455EVKIT-NS). The software and
computer are not required for performing the initial per-
formance evaluation of the sensor option since the EV
kit is already compensated. A 10-pin ribbon cable con-
nects the EV board to a serial-key adapter,
MAX1452KEY, that plugs into a computer serial port,
allowing the board to be evaluated inside an environ-
mental chamber. The software requires a PC compati-
ble with Windows® 95/98/2000/XP.
♦ Convenient On-Board Test Points
♦ Fully Assembled and Tested
♦ Optional Pressure Sensor (MAX1455EVKIT-CS)
♦ Factory-Calibrated Over Temperature
(MAX1455EVKIT-CS)
♦ LabVIEW®-Based Software
