Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX2771EVKIT Evaluation Kit

Maxim MAX2771EVKIT Evaluation Kit simplifies the evaluation of the MAX2771, a next-generation Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receiver. The evaluation kit enables testing of the device's performance and requires no additional support circuitry. Standard 50Ω SMA connectors are included on the evaluation kit for the inputs and outputs to allow for quick and easy evaluation on the test bench. The Analog Devices MAX2771EVKIT contains a microcontroller that translates between the three-wire SPI interface and USB. This translation allows the user to configure internal registers and modes with Graphical User Interface (GUI) software running on a PC. The evaluation kit is fully assembled and tested at the factory.
