General Description
The MAX2204 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evalua-
tion of the MAX2204 RF power detector. The EV kit
enables testing of all functions with no additional sup-
port circuitry. The RF power-detector input uses a 50Ω
SMA connector on the evaluation board for convenient
connection to test equipment.
Features
o+2.7V to +3.3V Single-Supply Operation
o50ΩSMA RF Input Port Connector
oFully Assembled and Tested
Evaluates: MAX2204

Quick Start
Test Equipment Required
This section lists the recommended test equipment to
verify operation of the MAX2204. 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
+10dBm of output power at the operating frequen-
cy (HP 8482A or equivalent)
• One RF power meter capable of measuring up to
+10dBm of output power at the operating frequen-
cy (HP 437B or equivalent)
• An RF spectrum analyzer that covers the MAX2204
operating frequency range (e.g., FSEB20)
• A power supply capable of up to 10mA at +2.7V to
+3.3V
• A digital multimeter (DMM) for measuring output
voltage, supply current, and output current
•50ΩSMA cables
• A network analyzer (e.g., HP 8753D) to measure
input impedance (optional)
