MAX5427 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX5427 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested surface-mount circuit board that evaluates
the MAX5427 digital potentiometer. Included software
generates the required signals for one-time-programma-
ble operation and allows easy control of the wiper posi-
tion. An on-board 8-pin 碌MAX socket eases replacement
of the device. The EV kit is designed to be connected to
a standard IBM-compatible PC-parallel (printer) port.
Windows
廬
95/98/2000-compatible software provides a
user-friendly interface to exercise the MAX5427鈥檚 fea-
tures. The program is menu driven and offers a graphic
user interface with control buttons. (Note: Windows 2000
requires the installation of a driver; refer to Win2000.pdf
or Win2000.txt located on the diskette for information.)
This EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX5428
and MAX5429 digital potentiometers.
