Description

The MAX3537/MAX3538 evaluation kits (EV kits) simplify the testing and evaluation of the MAX3537/MAX3538 broadband variable-gain amplifiers. The evaluation kits are fully assembled and tested at the factory. Standard 50Ω SMA connectors are included on the EV kits 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 devices, a straightforward test procedure to verify functionality, a description of the EV kit circuits, the circuit schematics, a bill of materials (BOM) for the kits, and artwork for each layer of the PC board.
