I think you are right about the Maxim part. Thankfully I have not bought anything for this yet.
For the Kinetic Part (MCDP5200), I have a PDF of a full schematic for the evaluation board, which pretty much does everything I need. I just don't have the board layout for that kit.
For the Parade parts, which is what I would like to use, I have a grey market source for those chips, but finding information is difficult. I have a brief datasheet (for both the PS176 and PS171) that at least gives me a pinout and not much else. Since I am not looking to buy 10s of thousands Parade isn't going to want to help here unfortunately.
edit: I know I probably should post the PDF's and datasheets I found here, but I also do not want to get in trouble since they are watermarked and definitely not supposed to have made their way onto the public internet. Parade would not be happy to know that they made it out onto the internet.
