MAX2240 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX2240 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evalua-
tion of the MAX2240 power amplifier (PA). It enables
testing of the device’s RF performance and requires no
additional support circuitry. The EV kit’s signal inputs
and outputs use SMA connectors to facilitate the con-
nection of RF test equipment.
The MAX2240 EV kit is assembled with a MAX2240 and
incorporates output matching components optimized
for 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz.
