General Description

The MAX7033 evaluation kit (EV kit) allows for a

detailed evaluation of the MAX7033 superheterodyne

receiver. It enables testing of the device’s RF perfor-

mance and requires no additional support circuitry. The

RF input uses a 50

Ω matching network and an SMA

connector for convenient connection to test equipment.

The EV kit can also directly interface to the user’s

embedded design for easy data decoding.

The MAX7033 EV kit comes in two versions: 315MHz

and 433.92MHz. The passive components are opti-

mized for these frequencies. These components can

easily be changed to work at RF frequencies from

300MHz to 450MHz. In addition, the received data rate

can be adjusted from 0 to 66kbps by changing three

more components.

For easy implementation into the customer’s design,

the MAX7033 EV kit also features a proven PC board

layout, which can be easily duplicated for quicker time

to market. The EV kit Gerber files are available for

download at www.maxim-ic.com.
