Evaluates: MAX2016 19-3453 Rev 1 12/06 MAX2016 Evaluation Kit General Description Features The MAX2016 evaluation kit (EV kit) is a fully assembled Complete Gain and VSWR Detector/Controller and tested surface-mount PCB that allows for easy Dual-Channel RF Power Detector/Controller evaluation of the MAX2016 dual logarithmic detector/controller. The MAX2016 EV kit includes con- Low Frequency to 2.5GHz Frequency Range nections to operate the device as a detector or as a Exceptional Accuracy Over Temperature controller. The RF inputs utilize 50 SMA connectors for convenient connections to test equipment. High 80dB Dynamic Range 2.7V to 5.25V* Supply Voltage Range Internal 2V Reference Scaling Stable Over Supply and Temperature Variations Controller Mode with Error Output Available in 5mm x 5mm, 28-Pin Thin QFN Package *See the Power-Supply Connection section.
