Product Details

The MAX9987/MAX9988 evaluation kits (EV kits) simplify the evaluation of the MAX9987/MAX9988 LO buffers/splitters. They are fully assembled and tested at the factory. Standard 50Ω SMA connectors are included on the EV kits for the input and all three outputs to allow quick and easy evaluation on the test bench.

This document provides a list of equipment required to evaluate the device, a straight-forward test procedure to verify functionality, a circuit schematic for the EV kits, a bill of materials (BOM) for the EV kits, and artwork for each layer of the PC boards.
