MAX9924U Evaluation Kit
Evluates:4U/MAX925
General Description
Features
The MAX9924U evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assem-
bled and tested PCB that contains a differential variable
reluctance (VR) sensor interface circuit using a
♦ Demonstrates MAX9924U MODE A1, A2, B, and C
Operation
®
♦ Evaluates Differential and Single-Ended Sensors
MAX9924U IC in a 10-pin µMAX package. The single-
(VR or Magnetic Pickup)
channel interface circuit also features a differential
amplifier for evaluating differential or single-ended VR
sensor (magnetic pickup sensor) signal, and provides a
fixed gain of 1V/V. Input power to the EV kit circuit can
be supplied by a 4.5V to 5.5V DC source. The
MAX9924U IC temperature range is -40°C to +125°C.
♦ Demonstrates Zero-Crossing and Adaptive
Threshold Mechanism
♦ Includes Lowpass Sensor Input Filter
♦ On-Board 5Hz/24kHz Triangle-Wave Generator
♦ Evaluates MAX9925 (IC Replacement Required)
♦ Lead(Pb)-Free and RoHS Compliant
♦ Fully Assembled and Tested
The MAX9924U EV kit circuit can be configured to
demonstrate the MAX9924U IC’s operation with internal
adaptive peak threshold and zero-crossing detection
modes. It can also interface to a microcontroller PWM
signal for evaluating external thresholds. Additionally, a
configurable on-board triangle-wave generator using a
MAX9000 IC provides a 5Hz, 55Hz, 2.5kHz, or 24kHz
triangle-wave signal if no external VR signal is available
for evaluation.
