MAX44009 Evaluation Kit

General Description

The MAX44009 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled

and tested surface-mount PCB that evaluates the

MAX44009 low-power ambient light sensor. The EV kit

can be powered directly from the universal serial bus

(USB) or from a single-supply voltage of 1.7V to 3.6V.

and is connected to the computer through the USB port.

a simple user interface for exercising the device’s

features. The program is menu driven and offers a

graphical user interface (GUI) complete with control

buttons and status displays.

The on-board device can also be controlled by an

external master, allowing users to test different code

implementations to interface with the part.
