MAX2264/MAX2265/MAX2266 Evaluation Kits
General Description
The MAX2264/MAX2265/MAX2266 evaluation kits (EV
kits) simplify evaluation of the MAX2264/MAX2265/
MAX2266 power amplifiers (PAs), which are designed for
operation in IS-98-based CDMA, IS-136-based TDMA,
and PDC cellular phones operating in the 900MHz range.
The kits enable testing of the devices’ RF performance
and require no additional support circuitry. The EV kits’
signal inputs and outputs use SMA connectors to facili-
tate the connection of RF test equipment.
Each kit is assembled with either the MAX2264, MAX2265
or MAX2266 and incorporates input and output matching
components optimized for the 824MHz to 849MHz RF fre-
quency band. These EV kits are capable of operating at
RF frequencies from 750MHz to 1000MHz with the appro-
priate matching components.

MAX2264/MAX2265/MAX2266 Evaluation Kits
Evaluate: MAX2264/MAX2265/MAX2266
_________________________Quick Start
The MAX2264/MAX2265/MAX2266 EV kits are fully
assembled and factory tested. Follow the instructions in
the
Connections and Setup
section for proper device
evaluation.
4) Connect the power sensor to the power meter.
Calibrate the power sensor for 836MHz. Set the
power meter offset to compensate the 20dB attenu-
ator plus any cable loss (between 0.5dB and 2dB),
and circuit board losses (approximately 0.1dB).
5) Connect a power sensor to the 20dB high-power
attenuator.
6) Place the HIGH/LOW jumper (JU1) in the HIGH
position and the ON/OFF jumper (JU2) in the ON
position.
7) Turn on the DC supply. The supply current should
read approximately 80mA to 90mA.
8) Activate the RF generator’s output. Set the RF gen-
erator’s output to produce a reading of +28dBm on
the power meter. Verify that the voltmeter reads
+3.3V. Iteratively adjust the power supply’s output
and the RF generator’s output to produce a +3.3V
reading on the voltmeter and a reading of 28dBm
on the power meter.
For the MAX2264, the supply current should
increase to approximately 580mA.
b) For the MAX2265, the supply current should
increase to approximately 520mA.
c) For the MAX2266, the supply current should
increase to approximately 580mA.
9) For the MAX2264/MAX2266 EV kits:
a) Adjust the RF generator’s output to -10dBm.
Turn off the RF generator’s output.
b) Place the HIGH/LOW jumper (JU1) in the
LOW position.
c) The supply current reading should drop to
approximately 34mA.
d) Activate the RF generator’s output.
e) Adjust the RF generator’s output for a +16.5dBm
power meter reading. Iteratively adjust the
power supply’s output and the RF generator’s
output to produce a reading of +3.3V on the
voltmeter and a +16.5dBm reading on the
power meter. The supply current should
increase to approximately 105mA/70mA
(MAX2264/MAX2266).
a)
Test Equipment Required
This section lists the test equipment recommended to
verify operation of the MAX2264/MAX2265/MAX2266. It is
intended as a guide only, and some substitutions are
possible.
• An RF signal generator capable of delivering at least
+10dBm of output power at the operating frequency
with CDMA modulation (HP E4433G or equivalent)
• An RF power sensor capable of handling at least
+20dBm of output power at the operating frequency
(HP 8482A, or equivalent)
• A 20dB high-power attenuator
• An RF power meter capable of measuring up to
+20dBm of output power at the operating frequency
(HP EPM-441A or equivalent)
• An RF spectrum analyzer capable of measuring
ACPR and covering the MAX2264/MAX2265/
MAX2266’s operating frequency range (Rhodes at
Schwartz FSEA20, for example)
• A power supply capable of up to 1A at +2.7V to +5V
• A high-impedance voltmeter for measuring the actual
operating voltage
• An ammeter for measuring the supply current
(optional)
• Two 50Ω SMA cables
• A network analyzer (HP 8753D, for example) to mea-
sure small-signal return loss and gain (optional)
Connections and Setup
This section provides a step-by-step guide to operating
the EV kits and testing the devices’ functions. Do not
turn on the DC power or RF signal generator until all
connections are made.
1) Connect a 20dB high-power attenuator to the OUT
SMA connector on the EV kit. This will prevent over-
loading the power sensor and the power meter.
2) Connect a DC supply set to +3.3V (through an
ammeter if desired), and connect the voltmeter to
the EV kit’s VCC and GND terminals.
3) Connect an RF signal generator to the IN SMA con-
nector. Set the generator for an 836MHz output fre-
quency at a 0dBm power level.
