MAX2396 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX2396 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the evalu-
ation of the MAX2396 WCDMA direct-downconversion
receive IC. It is fully assembled and tested at the facto-
ry. Standard 50Ω SMA and BNC connectors are includ-
ed on the EV kit to allow quick and easy evaluation on
the test bench.
This document provides a list of equipment required to
evaluate the device, a straightforward test procedure to
verify functionality, a circuit schematic, a bill of materi-
als (BOM), and artwork for each layer of the PC board.
