MAX2830 Evaluation Kit

Evaluates: MAX2830

General Description

The MAX2830 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies testing

of the MAX2830 receive and transmit performance in

802.11g/b applications operating in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz

ISM band. The EV kit provides 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 to single ended.

Features

●● On-Board Line Driver and Voltage Reference

●● 50Ω SMA Connectors on All RF and Baseband Ports

●● PC Control Software Available at

www.maximintegrated.com

Quick Start

Test Equipment Required

This section lists the recommended test equipment to

verify the operation of the MAX2830. It is intended as a

guide only and substitutions may be possible:

●● MAX2830 EV kit

●● INTF3000+ interface board

●● DC supply capable of delivering +5V and 200mA of

continuous current

●● DC supply capable of delivering -5V and 200mA of

continuous current

●● DC supply capable of delivering +3.3V and 300mA of

continuous current

●● DC supply capable of delivering +2.85V and 200mA

of continuous current

●● One HP8648s or equivalent signal sources capable

of generating 0dBm up to 3GHz

●● 802.11b/g CW I/Q waveform generator

●● HP8561E or equivalent RF spectrum analyzer with a

minimum 100kHz to 3GHz frequency range

●● TDS3012 or equivalent oscilloscope with 200MHz

bandwidth

●● PC laptop or tablet with Microsoft Windows XP®,

Windows® 7, 8 OS and a USB port

●● USB-A male to USB-B male cable

Connections and Setup

This section provides step-by-step instructions for getting

the EV kit up and running in all modes (see Figure 1 for

EV kit connections):

1) Connect the PC to the INTF3000 interface board using

the USB-A male to USB-B male cable. On INTF3000,

remove jumper JU1 and connect a DC supply set to 3.3V

to the VPULL connector. Connect the 25-pin connector of

the INTF3000 (J4) directly to the 25-pin connector on the

EV kit (J18).

2) With the power supply turned off, connect a +2.85V

power supply to VREG (pin 1) and VCCAUX, and a

+3.3V power supply to VBAT. Connect the power-

supply ground to the header labeled GND1 or GND2.

3) With the power supply turned off, connect a +5V power

supply to the +5V test point and a -5V power supply to

the -5V test point. Connect the power-supply ground

to the header labeled GND1 or GND2. Connect all the

power-supply grounds together.

4) Make sure the jumpers are installed in their defualt

positions as shown in Figure 1.

5) Turn on the +3.3V power supply, followed by the

+2.85V power supply, +5V power supply, and -5V

power supply.

6) Install and run the MAX2830 control software,

available for download HERE.

Receive Mode

1) Set the RXTX jumper across pins 2-3 (RX) to enable

the receiver and disable the transmitter. Set the

ANTSEL jumper across pins 2-3 (ANT1) to connect

the receiver to the ANT1 port, or pins 1-2 (ANT2) to

connect the receiver to the ANT2 port.

2) Set the signal generator to accurately deliver

-100dBm at 2438MHz, at the SMA port (ANT1 or

ANT2) of MAX2830. Connect the output of signal

generator to ANT1 or ANT2 port of MAX2830.

3) On the Registers page of the EV kit software, set

the registers to the recommended settings in the

MAX2830 data sheet by clicking the “Defaults” and

“Send All” buttons.
