MAX2990EVKIT：Evaluation Kit for the MAX2990 and MAX2991

Industry's First OFDM-Based Powerline Communication Modem Delivering 100kbps in the 10kHz to 490kHz Frequency Bands

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
