MAX2622/MAX2623/MAX2624 Evaluation Kits
General Description
The MAX2622/MAX2623/MAX2624 evaluation kits
(EV kits) simplify evaluation of the MAX2622/MAX2623/
MAX2624 VCOs. These kits enable testing of the
devices’ RF performance and require no additional
support circuitry. The signal output uses an SMA con-
nector to facilitate the connection to RF test equipment.
The MAX2622 EV kit is assembled with the MAX2622
and incorporates output matching components opti-
mized for an RF frequency of 868MHz. The MAX2623
EV kit is assembled with the MAX2623 and incorporates
output matching components optimized for an RF fre-
quency of 917MHz. The MAX2624 EV kit is assembled
with the MAX2624 and incorporates output matching
components optimized for an RF frequency of 973MHz.

Quick Start
The MAX2622/MAX2623/MAX2624 EV kits are fully
assembled and factory tested. Follow the instructions in
the
Connections and Setup
section for proper device
evaluation.
Test Equipment Required
This section lists the recommended test equipment to
verify operation of the MAX2622/MAX2623/MAX2624. It
is intended as a guide only, and some substitutions are
possible.
A 2-channel power supply at +2.7V to +3.3V
An ammeter (optional)
An RF spectrum analyzer that covers the operating
frequency range of the MAX2622/MAX2623/
MAX2624 as well as a few harmonics (HP 8561E,
for example)
A 50Ω SMA cable
Connections and Setup
This section provides a step-by-step guide to the func-
tions and operation of these EV kits.
1) Connect a DC supply set to +3V (through an amme-
ter, if desired) to the V
CC
and GND terminals on the
EV kit.
2) Apply +3V to the
SHDN
control input.
3) Turn on the DC supply. The supply current should
read about 9mA.
4) Connect the VCO output to a spectrum analyzer
with a 50Ω coaxial cable.
5) Apply a variable DC voltage to the TUNE input
(+0.4V to +2.4V).

coupling from one section of the IC to another. A star
topology for the supply layout, in which each V

on the circuit has a separate connection to a central
V

node on the circuit, can further minimize coupling
between sections of the circuit board.
Layout Considerations
The EV kit PC board can serve as a guide for laying out
a board using the MAX2622/MAX2623/MAX2624.
