Evaluates: MAX3100 19-4083 Rev 0 3/08 MAX3100 Evaluation Kit General Description Features The MAX3100 evaluation kit (EV kit) provides a proven SPI/MICROWIRE-Compatible C Interface design to evaluate the MAX3100 SPI/MICROWIRE On-Board C Provides Flexible Configuration -compatible universal asynchronous receiver transmit- Possibilities ter (UART). The EV kit also includes Windows 2000/XP/ Vista -compatible software that provides a simple Windows 2000/XP/Vista (32-Bit)-Compatible graphical user interface (GUI) for exercising the fea- Software tures of the MAX3100. Lead-Free and RoHS-Compliant The MAX3100 uses the SPI/MICROWIRE interface for communication with the on-board MAXQ2000 micro- Proven PCB Layout controller (C). The on-board DIP switches and Fully Assembled and Tested momentary pushbutton switches are used to configure the MAX3100 internal registers. The EV kit can be connected to a PC serial port directly or through a straight-through extension cable. The PC is a data terminal equipment (DTE) device and the EV kit is a data communications equipment (DCE) device. Ordering Information After the EV kit and the PC serial port are configured PART TYPE properly, the PC can send characters to the MAX3100.
