MAX2840/MAX2841 Evaluation Kits
General Description
Features
The MAX2840/MAX2841 evaluation kits (EV kits) simpli-
fy evaluation of the MAX2840/MAX2841 power ampli-
fiers (PAs). They enable testing of the devices’ RF per-
formance and require no additional support circuitry.
The EV kits’ signal inputs and outputs use SMA connec-
tors to facilitate the connection of RF test equipment.
ꢀ Easy Evaluation of the MAX2840/MAX2841
ꢀ +2.7V to +3.6V Single-Supply Operation
ꢀ Include All Critical Peripheral Components
