MAX2121 Evaluation Kit
Evaluates: MAX2121
General Description
The MAX2121 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the test-
ing and evaluation of the IC direct-conversion tuner. The
evaluation kit is fully assembled and tested at the factory.
Standard 50
I
SMA and BNC connectors are included
on the EV kit for the inputs and outputs 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 component list for the kit, and artwork for
each layer of the PCB.
