Variable gain amplifier BGA7210
1. Introduction
The BGA7210 customer evaluation kit enables the user to evaluate the performance of
the variable gain amplifier BGA7210.
The BGA7210 performance information is available in the BGA7210 data sheet.
2. Quick
start
1. Connect the interface board to the RF evaluation board using the flat cable.
2. Power the RF evaluation board with a 5 V, 1 W power supply.
3. Insert the interface board in a free USB slot.
4. Insert the USB flash drive in another free USB slot.
5. Launch the customer software bga7210_mswin.exe from the USB flash drive.

Do not change the jumper settings until you are familiar with the functions. The
jumpers are intended for evaluating the current on each supply pin. If configured correctly
the VGA can be powered by the USB bus, however RF performance might be
compromised. See
