Evaluate: MAX2371/MAX2373 19-2355 Rev 0 2/02 MAX2371/MAX2373 Evaluation Kits General Description Features The MAX2371/MAX2373 evaluation kits (EV kits) simplify Easy Evaluation of the MAX2371/MAX2373 evaluation of the MAX2371/MAX2373 low-noise ampli- 2.65V to 3.3V Single-Supply Operation fiers (LNAs). They enable testing of the devices radio frequency (RF) performance and require no additional Jumpers for Analog/Digital Control support circuitry. The EV kits signal inputs and outputs All Critical Peripheral Components Included use SMA connectors to facilitate the connection of RF test equipment.
