MAX7033 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
♦ Proven PC Board Layout
The MAX7033 evaluation kit (EV kit) allows for a
detailed evaluation of the MAX7033 superheterodyne
receiver. It enables testing of the device’s RF perfor-
mance and requires no additional support circuitry. The
RF input uses a 50 matching network and an SMA
connector for convenient connection to test equipment.
The EV kit can also directly interface to the user’s
embedded design for easy data decoding.
♦ Proven Components Parts List
♦ Multiple Test Points Provided On Board
♦ Available in 315MHz or 433.92MHz Optimized
Versions
♦ Adjustable Frequency Range from 300MHz to
450MHz*
The MAX7033 EV kit comes in two versions: 315MHz
and 433.92MHz. The passive components are opti-
mized for these frequencies. These components can
easily be changed to work at RF frequencies from
300MHz to 450MHz. In addition, the received data rate
can be adjusted from 0 to 66kbps by changing three
more components.
♦ Fully Assembled and Tested
♦ Can Operate as a Stand-Alone Receiver with the
Addition of an Antenna
*Requires component changes.
Ordering Information
For easy implementation into the customer’s design,
the MAX7033 EV kit also features a proven PC board
layout, which can be easily duplicated for quicker time
to market. The EV kit Gerber files are available for
download at www.maxim-ic.com.
