The MAX187 evaluation system consists of a MAX187 evaluation kit and Maxim 68HC16 microcontroller module. The system can function as a data acquisition system, storing samples from the MAX187 in memory and displaying the conversion results on the host computer. It can also evaluate the MAX187's shutdown feature and monitor the supply current in various modes of operation.
The document details the Maxim MAX187 Evaluation System (EV system), which consists of a MAX187 evaluation kit board and a 68HC16 microcontroller module. The system functions as a data acquisition unit that connects to an IBM-compatible PC via a serial port to collect, store, and display conversion results from the MAX187 Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC). It supports self-timed or synchronized conversions and allows for waveform digitization.
