Quick Start
• MAXFILTERBRD
Required Equipment
• Suggested components (see the
Component List)
• 5V or 3V DC power supply (depending on the IC
installed)
• Function generator (e.g., HP 33120A)
• 2-channel digital oscilloscope (e.g., Tektronix TDS3012)
Caution:
Do not turn on power supply until all connec-
tions are completed.
1) Install all suggested components shown in the
Component List
onto the MAXFILTERBRD.
2) If the installed IC is the MAX7408–MAX7411 or
MAX7418–MAX7421, connect the positive terminal of
the 5V supply to the VDD pad and the negative termi-
nal of the supply to the GND pad closest to the VDD
pad. If the installed IC is the MAX7412–MAX7415 or
MAX7422–MAX7425, connect the positive terminal
of the 3V supply to the VDD pad and the negative
terminal of the supply to the GND pad closest to the
VDD pad (see Figure 1). Set the function generator
to 4V
P-P
max, 2.2V offset (typ), and 1kHz sine wave,
and connect the signal to the IN pad.
3) Connect the first channel of the oscilloscope to the
IN pad.
4) Connect the second channel of the oscilloscope to
the OUT pad.
5) Connect the oscilloscope’s ground probe to any GND
pads.
6) Turn on the power supply.
7) Verify the output on the OUT pad.

Detailed Description of Hardware
The MAXFILTERBRD is an unpopulated PCB design to
evaluate the MAX7408–MAX7415/MAX7418–MAX7425
5th-order, lowpass SCFs.
The MAXFILTERBRD uses the internal oscillator when a
capacitor is installed on C1. Refer to the corresponding
installed IC data sheet.
For the MAX7409/MAX7410/MAX7413/MAX7414, the
frequency can be altered using the following formula:
f
OSC
(kHz) = k/C1 (pF)
where k = 30 x 10
3
and f
OSC
is the internal oscillator
frequency.
For the MAX7408/MAX7411/MAX7412/MAX7415, k = 27 x 10
3
.
For the MAX7418/MAX7421/MAX7422/MAX7425, k = 87 x 10
3
.
For the MAX7419/MAX7420/MAX7423/MAX7424, k = 110 x 10
3
.
An external clock that matches the specification of the
corresponding IC data sheet can be used by cutting
the trace of jumper JU2. Drive the CLK pin with a CMOS
gate powered from 0 to VDD. Apply the clock signal to
the CLK pad.
The MAXFILTERBRD is configured for normal operation
once the desired IC is installed. The desired IC enters
shutdown by cutting the trace of jumper JU1 and driving
the IC
SHDN
pin low through the side of the jumper that
is still connected to the part.
