Follow the instructions in the Connections and Setup section for proper device evaluation. Test Equipment Required This section lists the recommended test equipment to verify operation of the MAX2140. It is intended as a guide only, and some substitutions are possible: • One RF signal generator capable of delivering at least +5dBm of output power at the operating frequency (HPE4433B, or equivalent) • One RF power sensor capable of handling at least +20dBm of output power at the operating frequency (HP 8482A, or equivalent) 2 DESIGNATION • One RF power meter capable of measuring up to +20dBm of output power at the operating frequency (HP 437B, or equivalent) • An RF spectrum analyzer that covers the MAX2140 operating frequency range, as well as a few harmonics (FSEB20, for example) • A power supply capable of up to 1A at +2.7V to +6.0V • One ammeter for measuring the supply current (optional) • 50Ω SMA cables • A network analyzer (HP 8753D, for example) to measure small-signal return loss and gain (optional) _______________________________________________________________________________________ MAX2140 Evaluation Kit 2) Connect a DC supply set to 0V to the PWM terminals on the EV kit. Do not turn on the supply. 3) Connect one RF signal generator to the JRFIN SMA connector; do not turn on the generator’s output. Set the power level to -91dBm. 4) Connect the I/Q output on the EV kit to a spectrum analyzer through an SMA cable. 5) Connect the EV board to the PC through a parallel cable. 6) Run the control software on an IBM-compatible PC. 7) Turn on the DC supply. The supply current should read approximately 150mA. 8) Activate the RF generator’s output. 9) Check the I/Q outputs. Layout Issues A good PC board is an essential part of an RF circuit design. The EV kit PC board can serve as a guide for laying out a board using the MAX2140. Keep traces carrying RF signals as short as possible to minimize radiation and insertion loss. Use impedance control on all RF signal traces. The VCC node on the PC board should have decoupling capacitors to the closest ground. Refer to the Layout section of the MAX2140 data sheet for more information. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 3 Evaluates: MAX2140 Connections and Setup This section provides a step-by-step guide to operating the EV kit and testing the device’s function. Do not turn on the DC power or RF signal generators until all connections are complete: 1) Connect two DC supplies set to ±5V (through an ammeter if desired) to the +5V, -5V, and GND terminals on the EV kit. Do not turn on the supply. Evaluates: MAX2140 MAX2140 Evaluation Kit Figure 1.
