The MAX2472/MAX2473 evaluation kits (EV kits) simpli-
fy evaluation of the MAX2472/MAX2473 VCO buffers.
They enable performance testing and require no addi-
tional support circuitry. All inputs and outputs use SMA
connectors to facilitate connection of RF test equip-
ment.
♦ Easy Evaluation of MAX2472/MAX2473
♦ +2.7V to +5.5V Single-Supply Operation
♦ Variable Bias Control (MAX2473)
♦ Single (MAX2473) or Dual (MAX2472) Open-
Collector Outputs
The MAX2472 EV kit is assembled with the MAX2472
and provides a high-impedance input and a pair of
open-collector outputs. The EV kit includes a matching
ne twork tune d for 900MHz. The MAX2473 EV kit is
assembled with the MAX2473 and provides a high-
impedance input, a single open-collector output, and a
bias control input for setting the output power. Output
ma tc he s for 600MHz, 1900MHz, or 2400MHz a re
achieved by replacing the matching components with
values provided in the MAX2472/MAX2473 data sheet.
