Quick Start
• MAXFILTERBRD
Required Equipment
• Suggested components (see Component List)
• 5V or 3V DC power supply (depending on the IC
installed)
• Function generator (e.g., HP 33120A)
• 2-channel digital oscilloscope (e.g., Tektronix TDS3012)
Procedure
Caution: Do not turn on power supply until all connec-
tions are completed.
1) Install all suggested components shown in the
Component List onto the MAXFILTERBRD.
2) If the installed IC is the MAX7408–MAX7411 or
MAX7418–MAX7421, connect the positive terminal of
the 5V supply to the VDD pad and the negative termi-
nal of the supply to the GND pad closest to the VDD
pad. If the installed IC is the MAX7412–MAX7415 or
MAX7422–MAX7425, connect the positive terminal
of the 3V supply to the VDD pad and the negative
terminal of the supply to the GND pad closest to the
VDD pad (see Figure 1). Set the function generator
to 4VP-P max, 2.2V offset (typ), and 1kHz sine wave,
and connect the signal to the IN pad.
3) Connect the first channel of the oscilloscope to the
IN pad.
4) Connect the second channel of the oscilloscope to
the OUT pad.
5) Connect the oscilloscope’s ground probe to any GND
pads.
6) Turn on the power supply.
7) Verify the output on the OUT pad.
