The MAX9591 evaluation kit (EV kit) demonstrates the MAX9591 reference-voltage generator for gamma correction in TFT-LCD panels, such as those found in high-resolution TVs, high-end monitors, or for general industrial reference-voltage generation. The MAX9591 EV kit provides 14 programmable reference-voltage outputs (DAC outputs) and four static buffered reference-voltage outputs (reference outputs). The EV kit uses a 9V to 20V DC power supply for powering the application circuit.
The EV kit features a USB-to-I²C interface circuit. Windows® 2000/XP/Vista®-compatible software, with a graphical user interface (GUI), is available for exercising the MAX9591 features. The EV kit can also connect to a user-supplied I²C interface circuit for stand-alone MAX9591 operation.
The MAX9591 EV kit can also be used to evaluate the MAX9590ETU+.
