Product Details

The MAX9635 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled and tested surface-mount PCB that evaluates the MAX9635 low-power ambient light sensor. The EV kit can be powered directly from the universal serial bus (USB) or from a single-supply voltage of 1.7V to 3.6V.

The EV kit provides an on-board I²C/SMBus™ interface and is connected to the computer through the USB port. The EV kit includes Windows XP®-, Windows Vista®-, and Windows® 7-compatible software that provides a simple user interface for exercising the device's features.
