MAX2612–MAX2616
40MHz to 4GHz Linear Broadband Amplifiers
General Description
Benefits and Features
● Extremely Flat Frequency Response
The MAX2612–MAX2616 is a family of high-performance
broadband gain blocks designed for use as a PA predriver,
low-noise amplifier, or as a cascadable 50I amplifier with
up to +19.5dBm output power. These devices are suited
for many applications that include cellular infrastructure,
private or commercial microwave radios, and CATV or
cable modems. The operating frequency range extends
from 40MHz to 4000MHz. The amplifier operates on a
+3V to a +5.25V supply with input and output ports internally
matched to 50I. The device family is available in a pin-
to-pin compatible, compact 2mm x 3mm TDFN lead-free
package.
