Evaluate: MAX2009/MAX2010 19-2972 Rev 0 9/03 MAX2009/MAX2010 Evaluation Kits General Description Features The MAX2009/MAX2010 evaluation kits (EV kits) simplify Fully Assembled and Tested the evaluation of the MAX2009 and MAX2010. These kits Frequency Range are fully assembled and tested at the factory. Standard 1200MHz to 2500MHz (MAX2009) 50 SMA connectors are included for all inputs and out- 500MHz to 1100MHz (MAX2010) puts to facilitate evaluation on the test bench. Up to 12dB ACPR Improvement* Each EV kit provides a list of equipment required to Independent Adjustable Gain and Phase evaluate the device, a test procedure, a circuit schematic, a bill of materials (BOM), and artwork for Expansion each layer of the PC board. Low Power Consumption *Performance dependent on amplifier, bias, and modulation.
