Evaluates: MAX41470,
MAX4147X Evaluation Kit
MAX41473, and MAX41474
General Description
Features and Benefits
● Evaluates the MAX4147X Sub-1GHz ISM Receiver
The MAX4147X evaluation kit (EV kit) contains a single
MAX4147X high output power VHF/UHF sub-GHz ISM/
SRD receiver designed to receive frequency-shift keying
(FSK), Gaussian GFSK, or amplitude-shift keying (ASK)
data in the 287MHz to 320MHz, 425MHz to 480MHz, and
860MHz to 960MHz frequency ranges.
● Single Input Voltage Supply from 1.8V to 3.6V
®
● Direct Interface with a MAX32630FTHR Arm
Microcontroller (MCU) Board
● Available PMOD Hardware Interface
● Windows 10-Compatible Software
The MAX41470, MAX41473, and MAX41474 EV kits oper-
ate in conjunction with an external microcontroller (MCU)
and graphical user interface (GUI) software running on
a computer. The MAX41470 uses an SPI interface for
internal register configurations while the MAX41473/74
● On-Board SPI Interface Control for the MAX41470
2
and Optional I C Control for the MAX41473/74
● GUI Controls for MAX32630FTHR Board PMIC
• Operation from 1.8V to 3.3V
2
can use the preset modes or an I C interface for register
● Proven Four-Layer PCB Design
● Fully Assembled and Tested
programming and control.
The MAX41473 and MAX41474 EV kits are also designed
to operate with a simple, one-pin data interface, alleviat-
ing the need to program the part for nominal operation,
or other high-level system (PC with GUI software) hav-
ing to configure the receiver for operation. These parts
allow the user to preset the operating frequencies by
part selection and pin configurations. On the EV kit,
selecting the frequency of operation is as simple as
setting jumpers.

Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet.
The EV kit includes Windows 10-compatible software
that provides a simple GUI for configuration of all the
2
MAX4147X registers through the SPI or I C ports.
The GUI also controls the on-board PMIC when the
MAX32630FTHR applications platform is used.
