MAX2027 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX2027 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the evalu-
ation of the MAX2027 high-linearity, digitally controlled,
variable-gain amplifier. The kit is fully assembled and
tested at the factory. Standard 50鈩?SMA connectors
are included for the input and output to allow quick and
easy evaluation on the test bench.
This EV kit provides a list of equipment required to eval-
uate the device, a straightforward test procedure to ver-
ify functionality, a circuit schematic, a bill of materials
(BOM), and artwork for each layer of the PC board.
