MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 Evaluation Kits
General Description
The MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 evaluation kits
(EV kits) simplify evaluation of the MAX2045/MAX2046/
MAX2047 vector multipliers. Each kit enables testing of
the device’s RF performance and requires no additional
support circuitry. The EV kit input and output use SMA
connectors and baluns (for single-ended-to-differential
conversions) to facilitate the connection to RF test
equipment.
Each EV kit is assembled with either the MAX2045,
MAX2046, or MAX2047 and incorporates all matching
components optimized for the corresponding band of
frequency operation.

Quick Start
The MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 EV kits are fully
assembled and factory tested. Follow the instructions
in the
Connections and Setup
section for proper
device evaluation. The EV kits come configured for sin-
gle-ended, voltage-control operation. For differential
voltage- or current-mode operation, see the
Detailed
Description
section.
Test Equipment Required
Table 1 lists the required test equipment to verify the
MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 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 operat-
ing the EV kits and testing the devices’ functions. Do
not turn on DC power or RF signal generators until all
connections are made.

4) Configure the network analyzer to measure S21. The
analyzer should read approximately 6.2dB gain at f
IN
= 2140MHz (MAX2045), 6.6dB gain at f
IN
=
1900MHz (MAX2046), and 8.1dB gain at f
IN
=
915MHz (MAX2047).
5) Changing the current source value changes the
magnitude of the gain. To adjust the phase, use sep-
arate current sources on the II1 and IQ1 terminals.

Detailed Description
The EV kits come with all necessary components for
easy testing. For each kit, make sure all ground pins on
the 20-lead header are connected to ground. The
REFOUT voltage can be monitored from pins 17 and 18
on the 20-lead header by installing a 0Ω resistor for R6.
To operate the device in differential voltage-control
mode, remove R5 and R3, and install 0Ω resistors for
R2 and R4. Figure 1 shows the connections on the 20-
pin header corresponding to the voltage- and current-
control inputs. Using this configuration, an external DC
source can also be applied to VI2 and VQ2 for single-
ended operation using an external regulated voltage.
For current-mode operation, leave the VI and VQ (header
pins 1, 2, 5, and 6) open, and remove R3 and R5.
Testing the Supply Current
1) If available, set the current limit of the power supply
to 250mA. Do not turn on the supply. Connect the
DC supply set to 5V, through an ammeter, to the
VCC and GND terminals on the EV kit. Use a volt-
meter to verify that the voltage is at V
CC
= 5V.
2) Turn on the DC supply; the supply current should
read approximately 160mA.
Testing the Gain (Single-Ended Voltage Mode)
1) Connect a DC supply set to +3.2V to the VI1 and
VQ1 terminals (Figure 1).
2) Using a calibrated network analyzer, connect port 1
to the RF_IN terminal (SMA J1) and port 2 to the
RF_OUT terminal (SMA J2).
3) Configure the network analyzer to measure S21. The
analyzer should read approximately 7dB gain at f
IN
= 2140MHz (MAX2045), 7.4dB gain at f
IN
=
1900MHz (MAX2046), and 8.4dB gain at f
IN
=
915MHz (MAX2047).
4) Changing the DC supply on the VI1 and VQ1 termi-
nals changes the magnitude of the gain. To adjust
the phase, use separate DC supplies on the VI1 and
VQ1 terminals.
Testing the Gain (Current Mode)
1) Configure the evaluation kits for current mode (see
the
Detailed Description
section).
2) Connect a current source set to 4mA to the II1 and
IQ1 terminals. Leave II2, IQ2, and all voltage-control
pins open (Figure 1).
3) Using a calibrated network analyzer, connect port 1
to the RF_IN terminal (SMA J1) and port 2 to the
RF_OUT terminal (SMA J2).
Bias Resistor
The bias resistor value (280Ω) was optimized during
characterization at the factory. This value should not be
adjusted. If the 280Ω (±1%) resistor is not readily avail-
able, substitute a standard 280Ω (±5%) resistor.
On-Chip Reference Voltage
An on-chip, 2.5V reference voltage is provided for sin-
gle-ended control mode. REFOUT is connected,
through R3 and R5, to VI2 and VQ2 to provide a stable
reference voltage. The equivalent output resistance of
the REFOUT pin is approximately 80Ω. REFOUT is
capable of sourcing 1mA of current with <10mV drop
in voltage.
Capacitors
Ceramic capacitors C16 and C17 provide bypass on
the supply. Place C16 as close to the part as possible
for high-frequency bypassing. C4–C11 are bypass
capacitors for the control inputs. C1 and C14 are DC-
blocking capacitors for the on-board baluns. DC-block-
ing capacitors prevent DC current from flowing into the
transformers and can be used as part of the matching
circuit. Capacitors C13 and C15 are used to provide an
RF ground for transformer T2. Capacitor C12 is used to
bypass the 2.5V reference in case the reference is
used. As the differential RF outputs are relatively high

impedance, they are more susceptible to component
parasitics. It is often good practice to relieve the
ground plane directly underneath large components to
reduce associated shunt-C parasitics.
er and of the same length to ensure signal balance. The
PC board layout should provide a large ground pad
under the device for proper RF grounding and thermal
performance. This pad should be connected to the
ground plane of the board by using multiple vias. To
minimize inductance, route the ground pins of the
device to the large ground pad. Solder the exposed pad
on the bottom of the device package to the PC board
exposed pad (refer to the MAX2045/MAX2046/
MAX2047 data sheet).
The MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 EV kits can be used
as a reference for board layout. Gerber files are avail-
able upon request at www.maxim-ic.com.
Layout
The EV kit’s PC board can serve as a guide for laying
out a board using the MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047.
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.
At all differential ports, keep the differential lines togeth-
