MAX3558 Evaluation Kit
General Description
Features
ꢀ 75Ω F-Connector Ports for Easy Testing
ꢀ Output Baluns Included for Easy Testing
ꢀ Jumpers for AGC and SHDN
The MAX3558 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evaluation
of the broadband LNA. It enables testing of the device’s
RF performance and requires no additional support cir-
cuitry. The signal inputs and outputs use F-connectors
to simplify the connection of RF test equipment. Each
output includes a balun for differential-to-single-ended
conversion. The EV kit is fully assembled and tested.
ꢀ Fully Assembled and Tested
