General Description

The MAX2387/MAX2388/MAX2389 evaluation kits (EV

kits) simplify evaluation of the MAX2387/MAX2388/

MAX2389. The EV kits allow the evaluation of the low-

noise amplifier (LNA) as well as the downconverter

mixer without the use of any additional support circuitry.

The board comes in a single-ended IF load and single-

ended VCO configuration. The signal inputs and out-

puts use SMA connectors to simplify the connection of

RF test equipment.

The MAX2387/MAX2388/MAX2389 are assembled with

an associated IC and incorporate input- and output-

matching components optimized for RF frequencies

from 2.11GHz to 2.17GHz and an IF frequency of

190MHz.

Features

o +2.7V to +3.3V Single-Supply Operation

o 50Ω SMA Inputs and Outputs on RF, IF, and LO

Ports for Easy Testing

o All Matching Components Included

o Fully Assembled and Tested
