The MAX4159 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies evaluation of the MAX4159 two-channel, 350MHz video multiplexer (mux) amplifier. The EV kit circuit demonstrates the MAX4159 in the noninverting unity-gain configuration. RF connectors (SMA) and 50Ω terminating resistors are included.
The EV kit comes with the MAX4159 installed. To evaluate the MAX4259, simply order a free sample (MAX4259ESD), replace the MAX4159 with the MAX4259 on the EV board, and change the gain-setting resistors for the desired gain. The MAX4259's minimum closed-loop gain is 2V/V (6db).
