MAX44009 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX44009
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.
The EV kit provides an on-board I
2
C/SMBus interface
and is connected to the computer through the USB port.
The EV kit includes Windows XP

and Windows
M
7-compatible software that provides
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.
