Ordering Information
appears at end of data sheet.
The EV kit board is a plug-n-play, ultrasound echo acqui-
sition kit that connects to the PC through a USB cable.
The EV kit produces an ultrasound burst and samples the
echo and sends the information back to the PC. Distance
to multiple objects can be calculated from the echo. The
board does not require external power; it is powered
through the USB. The USB-to-serial driver can be down-
loaded from www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm.
The EV kit is preloaded with default firmware that
communicates with the MAXQ7667 evaluation software.
Software can be installed and run on any Windows-based
system.

Detailed Description
The MAXQ7667 EV kit board is loaded with the
MAXQ7667, Maxim’s integrated ultrasound acquisition
system. It integrates a microcontroller, ultrasound burst
generator, and ultrasound echo receive path. It also inte-
grates power management, a 5-channel 12-bit SAR ADC
as auxiliary analog input, brown-out detection, GPIOs,
UART, SPI port, timers, and a watchdog.
On the EV kiit, the MAXQ7667 communicates through
UART to a USB-to-UART bridge.
This USB-to-UART bridge communicates to the PC. A
GUI that shows the echoes and allows control over the
part is available.
The MAXQ7667 microcontroller is preloaded with
firmware that communicates with the MAXQ7667 GUI
application. Upon receiving the logging command from
the GUI, it sends an ultrasound burst and then acquires
the echo using the echo receive path and the Sigma-Delta
ADC. The data is sent back to the PC through UART for
display and further analysis.
Components of the EV Kit
The EV kit comes with the following components:
1) MAXQ7667 evaluation board
2) USB cable
3) MAXQ7667 GUI application
Data Acquisition through the EV Kit
The following steps are needed to acquire data through
the EV kit:
1) Connect the EV kit board to the PC through the USB
cable. The EV kit board receives power from the USB.
2) Install and run the MAXQ7667 GUI application.
3) The GUI automatically detects the EV kit and starts
sending bursts and receiving the echoes. The echo is
displayed as a graph.

EV Kit Extended Features
The EV kit includes options for a single transducer or a
dual transducer. The MAXQ7667 allows the user to work
with one transducer (for transmit and receive) or with two
transducers (one for transmit and one for receive). Using
one transducer is cheaper and the solution becomes
smaller; however, the transducer cannot receive while it
is still ringing from the excitation during transmit. There
are different transducers on the market with different ring
times, but typically when using one transducer you cannot
measure distances smaller than appriximately 20cm to
40cm (the EV kit transducer is ringing for ~ 40cm).
To use one transducer, make sure only TRANSD1 is
mounted and TRANSD2 is not mounted on the PCB. R21
and R22 must also be populated with 0Ω resistors and
R23 left open.
To use two transducers, make sure TRANSD1 and
TRANSD2 are populated. R21 and R22 have to be open
and R23 has to be populated.
The MAXQ7667 can be powered with an external supply
voltage up to 25V. To do that, make sure thar R1 and R2
are open (not populated). You can then supply external
supply to JP1.

If R21 and R22 are populated,
then transmit and receive. Do not
mount transducer 2 in that case
(R23 should not be populated in
