MAX2247 Evaluation Kit
General Description
The MAX2247 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evaluation of the MAX2247 power amplifier (PA). The kit enables testing of the device's RF performance and requires no additional support circuitry. The EV kit input and output use SMA connectors to facilitate the connection to RF test equipment. Each kit is assembled with the MAX2247 and incorporates all matching components optimized for the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz RF frequency band, and POUT = +24dBm. For lower power applications, see Table 2 for appropriate matching components. o Easy Evaluation of MAX2247 o +2.7V to +3.6V Single-Supply Operation o Output Matched for 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz Operation o Fully Assembled and Tested

Quick Start
The MAX2247 EV kit is fully assembled and factory tested. Follow the instructions in the Connections and Setup section for proper device evaluation.
Test Equipment Required
Table 1 lists the required test equipment to verify MAX2247 operation. It is intended as a guide only, and some substitutions are possible.
Connections and Setup
This section provides a step-by-step guide to operating the EV kit and testing the device's functions. Do not turn on DC power or RF signal generators until all connections are made. Testing the Supply Current 1) Connect a 20dB attenuator to the OUT SMA connector on the EV kit. This prevents overloading of the power sensor and power meter. 2) Connect a DC supply set to +3.3V (through an ammeter, if desired) and connect a voltmeter to the EV kit's VCC and GND terminals. Do not turn on the supply. 3) Connect an RF signal generator to the IN SMA connector. Calibrate the generator to produce an 802.11b compatible -10dBm signal, at 2.45GHz output frequency. Do not turn on the output. 4) Connect the power sensor to the power meter. Calibrate the power sensor for 2.45GHz. Set the power meter offset to compensate the 20dB attenuator, the coupler, and any cable loss (from 0.5dB to 2dB), and circuit board losses (approximately 0.3dB).

Table 1. Test Equipment Required
EQUIPMENT Power Supply RF Signal Generator RF Power Sensor 20dB High-Power Attenuator Power Meter Coupler RF Spectrum Analyzer Ammeter/Voltmeter 50 SMA Cables Network Analyzer (Optional) QTY 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 1 DESCRIPTION Capable of delivering up to 500mA at +2.7V to +3.6V Capable of delivering +10dBm of output power up to 2.5GHz with 802.11b-compatible source Capable of handling +20dBm of output power at the operating frequency (HP 8482A, or equivalent) -- Capable of handling +20dBm of output power at the operating frequency (HP EPM-441A, or equivalent) Capable of operating at the desired frequency Capable of measuring ACPR/ALT and covering the MAX2247's operating frequency range (Rohde and Schwarz FSEA20, or equivalent) -- -- For measuring small-signal return loss and gain
5) Connect the power sensor to the coupler. Connect one of the remaining terminals of the coupler to the 20dB high-power attenuator and another end to the spectrum analyzer. 6) Place the SHDN jumper in the ON position. 7) Turn on the DC supply. The idle current should read approximately 250mA. 8) Activate the RF generator output. Set the RF generator's output to produce a reading of +23dBm on the power meter. Adjust the supply voltage so that the voltmeter reads +3.3V. Adjust the output of the generator until the power meter reads +24dBm. * The supply current should increase to approximately 315mA. * The ACPR/ALT measurements should meet the MAX2247 EC table specifications.
Layout
The EV kit's PC board can serve as a guide for laying out a board using the MAX2247. Keep RF signal lines as short as possible to minimize losses and radiation. Always use controlled impedance lines on all high-frequency inputs and outputs, and use low-inductance connections to ground on all GND pins. Each VCC node on the PC board should have its own decoupling capacitor. Using a star topology for the supply layout, in which each VCC_ node on the circuit has a separate connection to a central VCC node, can further minimize coupling between the sections of the IC. (Refer to the MAX2247 data sheet.)

POUT (dBm) +21 +18 +15 C3 LOCATION 7 6 6 R1 (IBIAS) 6.1k (135mA) 12k (75mA) 13k (65mA)
Lower Power Applications
This evaluation kit can be easily modified for POUT = +21dBm, +18dBm, and +15dBm applications by changing the position of C3 and the bias current and removing C33. (See Table 2 and Applications Notes.)
