Product Details
The MAX2990 evaluation kit is a highly integrated chipset including the MAX2990 baseband (BB) and MAX2991 analog front end (AFE). This system transfers data over 120V or 240V AC powerlines, DC, or cold wire. The MAX2990 baseband uses an orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation (OFDM) technique that can be configured to operate in the 10kHz to 490kHz frequency band.
The MAX2990 evaluation kit contains two modems and the evaluation software. It is assembled and preconfigured to demonstrate performance under a variety of international regulatory requirements. The part number for the different communication standards are as follows:
| Part Number | Description | Freq. Band | Data Rate (Max) |
| MAX2990EVKITA# | CENELEC A | 32kHz to 95kHz | 23Kbps |
| MAX2990EVKITB# | CENELEC B | 95kHz to 120kHz | 9.5Kbps |
| MAX2990EVKITC# | CENELEC C | 120kHz to 140kHz | 7.7Kbps |
| MAX2990EVKITBC# | CENELEC BC | 95kHz to 140kHz | 16Kbps |
| MAX2990EVKITF# | FCC | 150kHz to 480kHz | 96Kbps |
| MAX2990EVKITR# | ARIB | 130kHz to 450kHz | 93Kbps |
