•
•
Two low-noise RF-signal generators or equivalent
(50Ω) sine-wave sources capable of delivering at
least 0dBm of output power up to 4GHz. One gen-
erator is required for the RF signal source, while the
second generator is required for the LO signal
source.

Connections and Setup
This section provides step-by-step instructions for get-
ting the EV kit up and running:
Test Equipment Required
This section lists the test equipment required for evalu-
ating the MAX2683/MAX2684:
1) DC Power Supply: Set the power-supply voltage to
+5V. Turn the power supply off and connect it to the
VCC and GND connections on the EV kit. If desired,
place an ammeter in series with the power supply to
measure supply current and a voltmeter in parallel
with the VCC and GND connections to measure the
supply voltage delivered to the device.
•
One power supply capable of providing 100mA of
supply current over the supply voltage range of
+2.7V to +5.5V.
