General Description
The MAX2828/MAX2829 evaluation kits (EV kits) simpli-
fy the testing of the MAX2828/MAX2829. The EV kits
provide 50Ω SMA connectors for all RF and baseband
inputs and outputs. Differential-to-single-ended and sin-
gle-ended-to-differential line drivers are provided to
convert the differential I/Q baseband inputs and out-
puts of the MAX2828/MAX2829 to single-ended ports.
The EV kits simplify evaluation of the receive and trans-
mit performance in the corresponding 802.11x bands.
Features
♦ On-Board Line Drivers and Voltage Reference
♦ 50Ω SMA and BNC Connectors on All RF and
Baseband Ports
♦ PC Control Software Available at www.maxim-ic.com
♦ 3-Wire Serial Interface
