HIGHLY INTEGRATED TRANSMITTER ICs FOR DUAL-BAND CELLULAR PHONES
SUNNYVALE, CA—February 10, 2000—Maxim Integrated Products introduces the MAX2360/MAX2362/MAX2364 baseband-to-PA complete dual-band cellular phone transmitter devices. They are designed for dual-band tri-mode and single-mode N-CDMA, TDMA, EDGE, and W-CDMA cellular phones. A key feature of the MAX2360 series is its high integration level, which dramatically reduces component count and size.
The MAX2360 includes an I/Q modulator, IF VGA, dual IF VCOs, triple synthesizers, upconverters, RF VGA, and three RF power amplifier drivers. The MAX2360's high linear output power of +7dBm allows the power amplifiers to be driven directly. This typically eliminates two SAW filters and two external PA drivers. The wide frequency range and dual IF ports make these devices ideal for a variety of different dual-band and dual-mode radio architectures.
The MAX2360 dual-band transmitter fits a variety of applications such as CDMA, TDMA, and EDGE dual-band phones. The MAX2362 is suited to single-band PCS and W-CDMA applications, and the MAX2364 is suited to single-band dual-mode cellular applications.
The MAX2360/MAX2362/MAX2364 are offered in a 48-pin TQFP package. Prices start from $5.85 (1000-up, FOB USA).
