MAX2645 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX2645 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evalua-
tion of the MAX2645 3.4GHz to 3.8GHz low-noise
amplifier/PA predriver. The EV kit is fully assembled
and tested, allowing simple evaluation of all device
functions. All RF signal ports use SMA connectors, pro-
viding a convenient interface to RF test equipment.
The MAX2645 is a versatile, high-performance, low-
noise amplifier with adjustable IP3. These features allow
the MAX2645 to be used in a variety of applications,
from a low-noise amplifier to a PA predriver. As assem-
bled, the MAX2645 EV kit is configured for lowest noise
figure performance (NF = 2.3dB, IIP3 = +4dBm). A few
minor component changes configure the device as a
low-noise amplifier with higher linearity and slightly
degraded noise figure performance (NF = 2.6dB, IIP3 =
+10dBm) or as a PA predriver with high output P1dB
performance (output P1dB = +12dBm). Refer to the
MAX2645 data sheet for application-specific perfor-
mance data.
