Evluates:MAX2043
General Description
Features
o Fully Assembled and Tested
The MAX2043 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the evalu-
ation of the MAX2043 UMTS/WCDMA, DCS, PCS, and
WiMAX base-station up/downconversion mixer. It is fully
assembled and tested at the factory. Standard 50Ω
SMA connectors are included on the EV kit’s input and
output ports to allow quick and easy evaluation on the
test bench.
o 50Ω SMA Connectors on Input and Output Ports
o 1700MHz to 3000MHz RF Frequency Range
o 1900MHz to 3000MHz LO Frequency Range
o DC to 350MHz IF Frequency Range
o 7.5dB Conversion Loss
This document provides a list of test equipment required
to evaluate the device, a straight-forward test procedure
to verify functionality, a description of the EV kit circuit,
the circuit schematic, a bill of materials (BOM) for the kit,
and artwork for each layer of the PC board.
o +31dBm Input IP3 (Downconversion)
o +23dBm Input 1dB Compression Point
o 7.8dB Noise Figure
o Integrated LO Buffer
o Integrated RF and LO Baluns
o Low -3dBm to +6dBm LO Drive
o Built-In SPDT LO Switch with 43dB LO1 to LO2
Isolation and 50ns Switching Time
o External Current-Setting Resistor Provides Option
