EV kit)

Connections and Setup

This section provides step-by-step instructions for get-

ting the EV kit up and running for evaluation of the

MAX2370 in 455MHz CDMA mode.

1) Verify shunts JU1 and JU6–JU10 are in place.

2) Connect the INTF2300 interface cable from the

INTF2300 interface board to the MAX2370 EV kit.

Pin 1 of the interface cable corresponds to the red

wire. Pin 1 of the connectors are designated in the

silkscreen on the MAX2370 and INTF2300 boards.

3) Connect a +3V power supply to the headers

labeled VBAT and VREG. The INTF2300 board

derives its power from the MAX2370 EV kit.

4) Connect a +5V power supply to the header

labeled +5V.

5) With its output disabled, connect the low-noise sig-

nal generator to the REF port. Set its frequency to

19.2MHz and its amplitude to -10dBm.

6) With its output disabled, connect the RF signal gen-

erator to the LOL port. Set its frequency to 575MHz

and its amplitude to -10dBm.
