The MAX6642 evaluation kit (EV kit) is an assembled
and tested PC board with a mounted MAX6642. The EV
kit allows full evaluation of the MAX6642 temperature
sensor. The MAX6642 monitors its own die temperature
and the junction temperature of an external diode-connected
transistor. It converts the temperature to 10-bit,
2-wire serial data that may be accessed over a 2-wire
serial bus.
The MAX6642 EV kit includes an external diode-connected
transistor (2N3906) soldered to the board,
which can be removed. The board can then be connected
through a twisted pair to remote diodes close to
your system.
The MAX6642 evaluation system consists of a Maxim
command module (CMOD232) and a MAX6642 EV kit.
The CMOD232 board connects to a computer's RS-232
serial port to provide a computer-controlled SMBus/I²C bus. Windows® 95/98/2000/XP-compatible software
provides a user-friendly interface to exercise the
features of the MAX6642. The program is menu driven
and offers a graphic interface with control buttons and
status display.
Order the MAX6642EVCMOD2 for a complete PC-based
evaluation of the MAX6642. Order the MAX6642EVKIT if
you already have a CMOD232 SMBus interface.
