Features and Benefits

  • On-Board Line Drivers and Voltage Reference
  • 50Ω SMA and BNC Connectors on All RF and Baseband Ports
  • 3-Wire Serial Interface

Product Details

The MAX2828/MAX2829 evaluation kits (EV kits) simplify the testing of the MAX2828/MAX2829. The EV kits provide 50Ω SMA connectors for all RF and baseband inputs and outputs. Differential-to-single-ended and single-ended-to-differential line drivers are provided to convert the differential I/Q baseband inputs and outputs of the MAX2828/MAX2829 to single-ended ports.

The EV kits simplify evaluation of the receive and transmit performance in the corresponding 802.11x bands.

Applications

  • 2.4GHz/5GHz MIMO and Smart Antenna Systems
  • 4.9GHz Public Safety Radios
  • Single-/Dual-Band 802.11a/b/g Radios

INTF3000

INTF3000 Interface Board for EV Kits Requiring SPI/Parallel to USB Interface

Buy Now View Details

Features and Benefits

  • Parallel Port-to-USB Interface
  • Serial port interface (SPI) to USB Interface
  • Supports Wide Voltage Range: 2V — 5V
  • INTF2400 Connector Compatible with Old INTF2400 LPT Port Boards
  • Addressing Enables the Use of up to Four Boards on a Single PC

Product Details

The INTF3000 interface board is designed to facilitate the interfacing of Maxim’s evaluation kit (EV) boards to any personal computer (PC) through the USB port.

There are three different connectors on the INTF3000 interface board available to communicate with the EV board: INTF2300, INTF2400, and DB25 (LPT) parallel connector. The INTF2400 connector is intended for new designs, while the INTF2300, INTF2400, and DB25 parallel connector can support legacy EV boards that are already configured for one of these types of interfaces. It must be noted that legacy EV boards that were designed to com- municate with the PC through DB25 parallel port must also have an updated control software which supports the INTF3000 interface board.

All three connectors on INTF3000 interface board sup- port logic levels from 2V to 5V. The INTF3000 requires no special driver installations on the host PC. The board connects to the PC with a standard USB cable.
