General Description
The MAX2170 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evalua-
tion of the MAX2170 direct-conversion to low-IF tuner. It
enables testing of the device’s performance and
requires no additional support circuitry. Standard 50
SMA and BNC connectors are included on the EV kit for
the inputs and outputs to allow quick and easy evalua-
tion on the test bench. The EV kit is fully assembled and
tested at the factory.
This document provides a list of equipment required to
evaluate the device, a straightforward test procedure to
verify functionality, a description of the EV kit circuit, the
circuit schematic, a bill of materials (BOM) for the kit,
and artwork for each layer of the PCB.
