MAX9926U Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX9926U
General Description
The MAX9926U evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled
and tested circuit board that contains a dual-channel
differential variable-reluctance (VR or magnetic pickup)
sensor interface circuit using a MAX9926U IC in a 16-pin
QSOP package. The dual-channel interface circuit also
features differential amplifiers for evaluating a pair of dif-
ferential or single-ended VR sensor signals and provides
a gain of 1. Input power to the EV kit circuit can be sup-
plied by a 4.5V to 5.5V DC source. The MAX9926U IC
temperature range is -40NC to +125NC. The EV kit uses
automotive power-train safety-equipment-rated ceramic
capacitors with a temperature range of -55NC to +125NC.
The MAX9926U EV kit circuit can be configured to
demonstrate the MAX9926U IC’s operation with internal
adaptive peak threshold and zero-crossing detection
modes, as well as to interface to a microcontroller pulse-
width modulation (PWM) signal for evaluating external
thresholds. It can interface to both differential as well as
single-ended VR sensors. The EV kit can evaluate exter-
nal VR signals from 5Hz to 25kHz.
