MAX16913AGEE+T

Overview

The MAX16913AGEE+T is a remote antenna current-sense amplifier and switch manufactured by Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. It operates within an input voltage range of 5V to 18V, making it suitable for providing phantom power to remote radio-frequency low-noise amplifiers. The device integrates current sensing and switching capabilities in a single package. It supports surface-mount installation in a 16-QSOP (0.154 inch wide) or 16-SSOP form factor. The component functions as a dedicated power management IC designed for specific signal chain applications requiring precise current monitoring and control.

Feature Summary

• Integrates remote antenna current-sense amplifier functionality with a switch for simplified system design
• Supports phantom power delivery to remote radio-frequency low-noise amplifiers
• Operates across a specified input voltage range of 5V to 18V

Applications

• Remote antenna systems requiring integrated current sensing
• Powering remote radio-frequency low-noise amplifiers via phantom power
• RF signal chain current monitoring and protection

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix designation when ordering, as variations such as V+ may indicate specific temperature grades or packaging options. Confirm the package type matches the target PCB footprint, typically 16-QSOP or 16-SSOP. Ensure compatibility with the 5V to 18V supply rails required for proper operation. Cross-reference the manufacturer part number with official Analog Devices documentation to confirm availability and revision status before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a combined current-sense amplifier and switch solution is required for RF front-end applications. It is appropriate for designs needing phantom power generation for remote LNAs. Consider the 16-pin QSOP/SSOP package constraints during layout. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the intended deployment scenario.
