Maxim Integrated MAX2121EVKIT General Description Manual

General Description

The MAX2121 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the test-
ing and evaluation of the IC direct-conversion tuner. The
evaluation kit is fully assembled and tested at the factory.
Standard 50I SMA and BNC connectors are included
on the EV kit for the inputs and outputs to allow quick
and easy evaluation on the test bench. This document
provides a list of equipment required to evaluate
the device, a straightforward test procedure to verify
functionality, a description of the EV kit circuit, the circuit
schematic, a component list for the kit, and artwork for
each layer of the PCB.
