MAX2771ETI+T

MAX2771ETI+T is Maxim Integrated’s evaluation kit (EV kit) for the MAX2771 RF IC. It provides a ready-made evaluation board with the MAX2771, supporting circuitry, cables, and a USB interface plus PC software to configure the device and measure its performance. The kit lets you quickly explore the MAX2771’s features (RF paths, LO generation, control via interfaces such as SPI) in a reference design and develop your application around the chip. Typical use: supply power, provide a reference clock, connect RF inputs/outputs, and use the GUI to program registers, adjust settings, and capture test results. The +T suffix usually indicates a variant/packaging option (e.g., tape-and-reel) and may vary by lot. For exact contents, features, and wiring, refer to the MAX2771 data sheet and the specific user guide shipped with the kit.

Here are the typical features of the MAX2771ETI+T evaluation kit (MAX2771 transceiver):
- Fully assembled, factory-tested evaluation board for the MAX2771
- USB interface with companion PC software for register level control and demonstrations
- 50-ohm RF front-end connections (TX/RX) with SMA/jack ports
- SPI/control interface to MAX2771 for programmable TX power, RX gain, LO/Synth settings
- On-board reference clock and voltage regulators; supports multiple supply options
- Programmable TX/RX path parameters, LO frequency, and synthesizer settings
- Integrated RF front-end with configurable gain stages and power modes
- Quick-start guide, complete schematics, BOM and application notes
- Example tunes, firmware/scripts, and drivers for Windows (and Linux where available)
- Cables, adapters, and test fixtures included for rapid testing
Note: Please refer to the official MAX2771 datasheet and the kit’s user guide for exact specifications and supported bands.

- Pin count: 32 pins (in the ETI package; tape-and-reel variant is denoted by +T).
- Function: RF receiver front-end IC (includes LNA, downconverter/mixer, VGA/IF, and baseband/DSP interface) with a digital control interface (SPI).
Note: exact pinout depends on the package variant; consult the MAX2771 datasheet’s Package Information section for the precise pinout.

- Manufacturer: Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) — after acquiring Maxim Integrated; the MAX2771 prefix originally comes from Maxim.
- Company type: A multinational semiconductor company that designs and manufactures analog, mixed-signal, and DSP integrated circuits.

MAX2771ETI+T is a 32‑pin QFN package with an exposed pad (5x5 mm). The +T suffix indicates Tape‑and‑Reel shipping.
