General Description
The MAX9995 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the evalu-
ation of the MAX9995 dual high-linearity mixer. It is fully
assembled and tested at the factory. Standard 50
Ω
SMA connectors are included on the EV kit for the input
and output 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 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.
