MAX7326 Evaluation Kit/Evaluation System
Evluate:MAX7326
General Description
Features
The MAX7326 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested printed-circuit board (PCB) that
demonstrates the capabilities of the MAX7326 I2C
port expander with 12 push-pull outputs and 4 inputs.
The MAX7326 EV kit also includes Windows®
2000/XP/Vista-compatible software that provides a
simple graphical user interface (GUI) for exercising the
MAX7326’s features.
♦ 400kHz, 2-Wire Serial Interface
♦ 1.71V to 5.5V Operation
♦ 12 Push-Pull Output Ports, Rated at 20mA Sink
Current
♦ 4 Input Ports with Maskable Latching-Transition
Detection
The MAX7326 evaluation system (EV system) includes
a MAX7326 EV kit and a Maxim CMAXQUSB serial-
interface board. The CMAXQUSB board connects to a
PC’s USB port and allows the transfer of I2C commands
to the MAX7326 EV kit.
♦ Input Ports are Overvoltage Protected to 6V
♦ Proven PCB Layout
♦ Windows 2000/XP/Vista (32-Bit)-Compatible Software
♦ Fully Assembled and Tested
The EV kit comes with the MAX7326ATG+ installed.
♦ EV System: USB PC Connection
