The MAX14830EVKIT# from Maxim Integrated Products is an evaluation kit for MAX14830 quad serial UART with 128word FIFOs. The MAX14830 is an advanced quad universal asynchronous receiver transmitter (UART), each UART having 128 words of receive and transmit first-in/first-out (FIFO) and a high speed serial peripheral interface (SPI) or I2C controller interface. Each UART contains 128 words of receive and transmit first-in/first-out (FIFO) buffer that can be controlled through the SPI or I2C interface. Each of the four UARTs are selected through SPI or I2C in-band addressing. Each of the four UARTs can interface with an IO-Link master transceiver or an RS485/RS232 multiprotocol transceiver. The EV kit contains on-board IO-Link master transceivers, RS485/RS232 multiprotocol transceivers and double-pole/double-throw (DPDT) switches are used to select between the IO link and RS485/RS232 transceivers. The kit requires a user supplied SPI/I2C controller and software.
3.3V and +24V power supply operation requires 100mA of current from each supply
