________________General Description

The MAX2410 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies testing of the

MAX2410. This EV kit allows evaluation of the MAX2410’s

low-noise amplifier (LNA), receive downconverter

mixer, transmit upconverter mixer, variable-gain power-

amplifier (PA) driver, and power-management features.

_________________________Quick Start

The MAX2410 EV kit is fully assembled and factory test-

ed. Follow these instructions for initial evaluation of the

MAX2410.

Test Equipment Required

This section lists the recommended test equipment to

verify operation of the MAX2410. It is intended as a

guide only, and some substitutions may be possible.

• Two RF signal generators capable of delivering at

least 0dBm of output power up to 2GHz (HP8648C,

or equivalent).

• An RF spectrum analyzer that covers the operating

frequency range of the MAX2410 as well as a few

harmonics (HP8561E, for example).

• A power supply which can provide up to 100mA at

+2.7V to +5.5V.

• A voltage source (0V to 5V) for adjusting the gain-

control (GC) voltage on the PA driver.

• An optional ammeter for measuring the supply cur-

rent.

• Several 50Ω SMA cables.
