♦ +2.7V to +5.5V Single-Supply Operation
♦ 50Ω SMA Inputs and Outputs on RF and IF Ports
♦ Allows Testing of Shutdown Mode
The MAX2410 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies testing of the
MAX2410. This EV kit allows evaluation of the MAX2410’s
low-nois e a mp lifie r (LNA), re c e ive d ownc onve rte r
mixer, transmit upconverter mixer, variable-gain power-
amplifier (PA) driver, and power-management features.
♦ Fully Assembled and Tested
