Evaluates: MAX2120
MAX2120 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
The MAX2120 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the test-
ing and evaluation of the IC direct-conversion tuner. The
evaluation kit is fully assembled and tested at the factory.
Standard 50Ω SMA and BNC connectors are included on
the EV kit for the inputs and outputs to allow quick and
easy evaluation on the test bench.
● Easy Evaluation of the MAX2120
● 50Ω RF Input SMA Connector
● 50Ω Baseband Output BNC Connector
● Single 3.3V ±5% Supply
