MAX3271 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
o Fully Assembled and Tested
The MAX3271 evaluation kit (EV kit) allows complete
evaluation of the MAX3271 transimpedance amplifier.
The EV kit includes a circuit that emulates the high-
speed, zero-to-peak current input signal that would be
produced by a photodiode. The kit also includes a cali-
bration circuit that allows accurate bandwidth measure-
ment. The MAX3271 EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
o Includes Photodiode Emulation Circuit
o Calibration Circuit for Accurate Bandwidth
