General Description
Features
The MAX3514/MAX3516/MAX3517 evaluation kits (EV
kits) simplify evaluation of the MAX3514/MAX3516/
MAX3517 CATV upstream amplifiers. Each kit includes
a data interface that can be programmed through the
parallel port of a standard PC. Software (Windows®
95/98 compatible) is included to facilitate this function.
This software allows the user to program both the gain
and transmit modes through a simple user interface.
o +5V Single-Supply Operation
o Output Level Range up to 64dBmV (QPSK)
o Gain Programmable in 0.5dB Steps
o Transmit-Disable Mode
o Shutdown Mode
o Control Software Included
Access to the device input and output is provided
through 50Ω SMA connectors. The input is matched to
50Ω, while the output circuit includes a minimum-loss
pad that presents a 75Ω load to the output transformer
when using 50Ω test equipment.
o Fully Assembled and Tested Surface-Mount
