Product Details

The MAX2424/MAX2426 evaluation kits (EV kits) simplify evaluation of the MAX2424/MAX2426 900MHz image-reject transceiver.

The EV kits provide 50Ω SMA connectors for all RF inputs and outputs. A varactor-based tank circuit is provided for the MAX2424/MAX2426 VCO and can be tuned by a potentiometer or external voltage. The VCO can be overdriven by an external source, if desired. (See external LO input under Adjustments and Control section).

Switches are provided to control power-management features.
