MAX2063ETM+

RF Amplifiers Overview

The MAX2063ETM+ is a dual variable gain amplifier (VGA) operating in the 50MHz to 1GHz frequency range. It features two independent paths with serial or parallel digital control via an on-chip 8-bit DAC. The device provides a typical maximum gain of 22dB and a 33dB gain range. Key electrical parameters include a typical noise figure of 4.4dB at 200MHz, an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of +41dBm, and an output 1dB compression point (P1dB) of +19dBm when configured with the amplifier last. It operates from a single +5V supply.

RF Amplifiers Feature Summary

• Dual independent RF paths with separate inputs and outputs for flexible noise figure or linearity optimization
• Serial or parallel digital control interface utilizing built-in 8-bit DACs for analog attenuation adjustment
• High linearity performance suitable for multipath receiver and transmitter applications

RF Amplifiers Applications

• Multipath receiver systems
• Transmitter signal conditioning
• Wireless communication infrastructure

RF Amplifiers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Analog Devices distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for limited availability constraints. Ensure storage conditions meet moisture sensitivity level requirements prior to surface mount assembly. Review datasheet revision history for any functional updates.

RF Amplifiers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring precise digital gain control over a wide bandwidth. Compare against pin-compatible family members like the MAX2062 for mixed control needs. Evaluate power consumption differences between +5V and +3.3V operation modes. Assess thermal dissipation capabilities within the 48-TQFN package for the specific enclosure design.

RF Amplifiers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX2062 series of high-linearity VGAs from Maxim Integrated. It shares the same compact 48-pin TQFN footprint as related models but differs in control logic. The series targets wireless infrastructure markets requiring robust signal processing components.

RF Amplifiers Replacement Considerations

The MAX2062ETM+ is a pin-compatible alternative offering combined analog and digital control options. Verify interface compatibility if switching from purely digital control schemes.
