MAX3543 Evaluation Kit

Evaluates: MAX3543

19-5288; Rev 0; 5/10

General Description

The MAX3543 evaluation kit (EV kit) simplifies the test-

ing and evaluation of the MAX3543 hybrid television

tuner. The EV kit is fully assembled and tested at the

factory. Standard 50I SMA connectors are included on

the EV kit for the inputs and outputs to allow quick and

easy evaluation on the test bench.

This document provides a list of equipment required to

evaluate the device, a straightforward test procedure to

verify functionality, a description of the EV kit circuit, the

circuit schematic, a list of components for the EV kit, and

artwork for each layer of the PCB.

Manually copy the FactorySettings.ini file into the directory where the IC software is installed. The path should be “C:\Program Files\Max3543\” or similar. 15) Go to the Synth tab and set the REF FREQ to match the crystal frequency (in MHz) on the EV kit. Most of the EV kits use 16MHz crystals.

MAX3543 Evaluation Kit Verify that the device has locked to the correct frequency by checking the LOCK light in the bottomright corner of the window. A green light indicates a successful lock. RF Gain-Control Range (RFVGC) To measure the gain-control range in the RF stage, follow the steps below: 1) Set RFVGC to +3V. 5) Set the RF signal generator to a 666MHz frequency and a -90dBm power level. Enable the RF signal generator’s output. 2) Set IFVGC to +3V.
