MAX9276A/MAX9280A
Evaluation Kits
General Description
The MAX9276A/MAX9280A coax evaluation kits (EV
kit) provide a proven design to evaluate the MAX9276A/
MAX9280A high-bandwidth gigabit multimedia serial link
(GMSL) deserializers with spread spectrum and full-
duplex control channel with the use of a standard FAKRA
coaxial cable. The EV kit also includes Windows XP
®
Windows Vista -, and Windows 7-compatible software
that provides a simple graphical-user interface (GUI) for
exercising the features of the device. The EV kit comes
with a MAX9276A or MAX9280A installed.
For complete GMSL evaluation, using a standard FAKRA
coaxial cable, order the MAX9276A/MAX9280A coax EV
kit and a companion serializer board (MAX9275/MAX9279
coax EV kit referenced in this document). For evaluating
with STP cable, also order the MAXCOAX2STP-HSD
adapter kit and refer to its data sheet. Only one adapter kit
is required per link, connecting the serializer and deserial-
izer (SerDes) boards.
Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet.
