The MAX2264/MAX2265/MAX2266 evaluation kits (EV kits) simplify evaluation of the MAX2264/MAX2265/ MAX2266 power amplifiers (PAs), which are designed for operation in IS-98-based CDMA, IS-136-based TDMA, and PDC cellular phones operating in the 900MHz range. The kits enable testing of the devices’ RF performance and require no additional support circuitry. The EV kits’ signal inputs and outputs use SMA connectors to facilitate the connection of RF test equipment. Each kit is assembled with either the MAX2264, MAX2265 or MAX2266 and incorporates input and output matching components optimized for the 824MHz to 849MHz RF frequency band. These EV kits are capable of operating at RF frequencies from 750MHz to 1000MHz with the appropriate matching components.
The document details three fully assembled and factory-tested evaluation kits (EV kits) for the MAX2264, MAX2265, and MAX2266 power amplifiers. These kits are optimized for 1S-98-based CDMA, IS-136-based TDMA, and PDC cellular phones operating in the 900MHz range, specifically matching components for the 824MHz to 849MHz frequency band.
The guide provides a quick start procedure requiring specific test equipment such as an RF signal generator, power sensor, attenuator, and spectrum analyzer. It includes step-by-step connection instructions and expected current readings for each model under different operating conditions.
The kits are capable of operating at RF frequencies from 750MHz to 1000MHz with the appropriate matching components.
The supply current should increase to approximately 520mA.
