Product Details
The MAX19791 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the evaluation of the MAX19791. The MAX19791 dual general- purpose analog voltage variable attenuator (VVA) is designed to interface with 50Ω systems operating in the 50MHz to 4000MHz frequency range.
The MAX19791 is a monolithic VVA IC designed for Broadband System Applications, Including Wireless Infrastructure Digital and Spread-Spectrum Communication Systems WCDMA/LTE, TD-SCDMA/ TD-LTE, WiMAX®, cdma2000M, GSM/EDGE, and MMDS Base Stations VSAT/Satellite Modems. The MAX19791 evaluation kit hosts a microcontroller (MCU) that uses a serial peripheral interface to configure internal registers and modes. The graphical user interface (GUI) software running on a computer makes it simple to program registers and control the device operation. The evaluation kit is fully assembled and tested at the factory.
This document provides a component list, 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 schematics, and artwork for each layer of the printed circuit board (PCB).
