Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX2678EVKIT Evaluation Kit
Analog Devices MAX2678EVKIT Evaluation Kit is an easy-to-use platform that enables straightforward demonstration and evaluation of the MAX2678 GPS/GNSS Front-End Amplifier IC. The MAX2678 is designed for use in demanding automotive applications and provides 35dB gain. The MAX2678EVKIT Evaluation Kit includes all functionality typically found in a typical remote antenna module, except a 12V regulator. Optimal matching and coupling circuits are included in the evaluation kit, enabling "plug and play" operation.
In many applications, an interstage SAW filter is used to maximize immunity to out-of-band interferers. A pair of common SAW filter footprints are available to enable evaluation in this configuration. Resistor options are provided to enable stand-alone testing of either gain stage or cascade testing of the two gain stages and optional SAW filter. Interfacing the Analog Devices MAX2678EVKIT to RF test equipment is streamlined using industry-standard SMA connectors.
