________________General Description

The MAX2430EVKIT-SO and MAX2430EVKIT-QSOP eval-

uation kits (EV kits) simplify evaluation of the MAX2430 sili-

con RF power amplifier. They enable testing of all

MAX2430 functions over the 800MHz to 950MHz band,

with no additional support circuitry and with minimal

equipment.

To evaluate the MAX2430 in the SO package

(MAX2430ISE), order the MAX2430EVKIT-SO. To evaluate

the MAX2430 in the PwrQSOP package, order the

MAX2430EVKIT-QSOP. These are surface-mount packages.

____________________________Features

o Low-Cost, Silicon RF Power Amplifier

o Delivers More than 125mW Output Power from

+3.6V Supply

o Single +3V to +5.5V Supply Range, Ideal for 3-Cell

NiCd or 1-Cell Lithium-Ion Battery Operation

o Output Matching Network is Tunable from

800MHz to 950MHz

o TTL/CMOS-Compatible Shutdown Input

o Easy Testing of All MAX2430 Features

o Fully Assembled and Tested Surface-Mount
