MAX2320/21/22/24/26/27 Evaluation Kits
General Description
The MAX2320/MAX2321/MAX2322/MAX2324/MAX2326/
MAX2327 evaluation kits (EV kits) simplify evaluation of
these high-linearity, silicon germanium (SiGe), dual-
band LNAs/mixers. They enable testing of the devices’
RF performance and require no additional support cir-
cuitry. The signal inputs and outputs use SMA connec-
tors to simplify the connection of RF test equipment.
The MAX2320/21/22/24/26/27 EV kits are assembled
with an associated IC and incorporate input and output
matching components optimized for the 869MHz to
894MHz cellular frequency band, 1930MHz to
1990MHz PCS frequency band, 210MHz digital mixer
output frequency, and 110MHz FM mixer output fre-
quency. All matching components may be changed to
work at other frequencies within the bands specified in
the MAX2320/21/22/24/26/27 data sheet.

_________________________________
Quick Start
The MAX2320/21/22/24/26/27 EV kits are fully assem-
bled and factory tested. Follow the instructions in the
Connections and Setup
section for proper device eval-
uation. Figures 1, 2, and 3 show the schematics.
Figures 4 through 9 are component placement guides
and PC board layouts.
2) Install the shunts across jumpers JU5 and JU8.
Install the shunt across JU6 to the FMMXR position
and across JU4 to the OFF position. See Tables 1–5
for positions of the shunts across JU1, JU2, and JU3
for different modes.
EQUIPMENT
RF Signal
Generators
DESCRIPTION
Capable of delivering at least 0dBm of
output power up to 2.5GHz (HP 8648C
or equivalent)
Capable of covering the operating
frequency range of the devices as well
as a few harmonics (HP 8561E, for
example)
Capable of up to 100mA at +2.7V to
+3.6V
For measuring the supply current
(optional)
To measure small-signal return
loss and gain (optional, HP 8753D,
for example)
Evaluate: MAX2320/21/22/24/26/27
Test Equipment Required
The adjacent table lists the required test equipment to
verify MAX2320/MAX2321/MAX2322/MAX2324/MAX2326/
MAX2327 operation. It is intended as a guide only, and
some substitutions are possible.
RF Spectrum
Analyzer
Connections and Setup
This section provides a step-by-step guide to operating
the EV kits and testing the devices’ functions. Do not
turn on DC power or RF signal generators until all con-
nections are made.
Power Supply
Ammeter
Testing the LNA
1) Connect a DC supply set to +2.7V (through an
ammeter if desired) to the VCC and GND terminals
on the EV kit. If available, set the current limit to
40mA.
