The MAX12900EVKIT# from Maxim Integrated Products is an evaluation kit (EV kit) for MAX12900. It provides a proven design to evaluate the MAX12900, loop-powered sensor transmitter. The EV kit includes an evaluation board and a graphical user interface (GUI) that provides communication from a PC to the target device through a USB port. The EV kit includes Windows® 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 compatible software for exercising the features of the IC. The EV kit must be powered from an external +24V power supply and consumes less than 2.7mA. The MAX12900 EV kit comes with a MAX12900ATJ+ installed in a 32 pin, 5 x 5mm TQFN-EP package. Typical applications include loop-powered 4-20mA current transmitter, remote instrumentation, smart sensors, industrial automation and process control.
