General Description

The MAX2235 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evalua-

tion of the MAX2235 power amplifier (PA). It enables

testing of the device’s RF performance and requires no

additional support circuitry. The EV kit’s signal inputs

and outputs use SMA connectors to facilitate the con-

nection of RF test equipment.

The MAX2235 EV kit is assembled with a MAX2235 and

incorporates input and output matching components

optimized for the 824MHz to 849MHz RF frequency

band. All matching components may be changed to

work at RF frequencies from 800MHz to 1000MHz.

Features

o Easy Evaluation of MAX2235

o +2.7V to +5.5V Single-Supply Operation

o RF Input and Output Matched for Operation from

824MHz to 849MHz

o All Critical Peripheral Components Included
