MAX2016ETI

RF Detectors Overview

The MAX2016ETI is a dual logarithmic detector and controller IC from Analog Devices, designed for RF power measurement. It operates within a frequency range of 30 kHz to 2.5 GHz, with an input power range spanning -70 dBm to +10 dBm. The device features high accuracy of ±1 dB and requires a supply voltage between 2.7 V and 5.25 V, drawing approximately 16 mA of supply current. Packaged in a 28-WFQFN exposed pad surface-mount configuration, it integrates fully for measuring power, gain/loss, and voltage standing-wave ratio.

RF Detectors Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix to confirm package type and reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with the required supply voltage range and operating temperature conditions. Confirm that the 28-WFQFN footprint matches the PCB layout requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the specific procurement batch.

RF Detectors Selection Notes

Select this component when dual-channel logarithmic detection is required for RF power monitoring applications up to 2.5 GHz. Consider the ±1 dB accuracy specification for precision measurement needs. Evaluate the 2.7 V to 5.25 V supply range against available system voltages. Assess the 16 mA current consumption against power budget constraints for the target application environment.

RF Detectors Part Context

The MAX2016 belongs to the MAX2016 series of RF detectors manufactured by Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. This series focuses on dual logarithmic detection capabilities for cellular infrastructure. The ETI variant specifically denotes the tape and reel packaging option suitable for automated surface-mount assembly processes in high-volume manufacturing environments.
