MAX2108CEG+

Overview

The MAX2108CEG+ is a low-cost direct-conversion tuner integrated circuit designed for digital direct-broadcast satellite (DBS) television set-top box units and microwave applications. It operates from a single +5V supply and functions within the 950MHz to 2150MHz frequency range. The component is housed in a 24-pin QSOP package and supports an operating temperature range of 0°C to +70°C.

Feature Summary

• Low-cost architecture optimized for cost-sensitive consumer electronics
• Direct-conversion tuner design simplifying receiver front-end implementation
• Single +5V power supply operation reducing system complexity

Applications

• Digital direct-broadcast satellite (DBS) television set-top boxes
• Microwave communication systems
• Satellite receiver front-ends

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CEG+' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm the 24-pin QSOP package and commercial temperature grade. Ensure RoHS3 compliance status matches current regulatory requirements for your target market. Cross-reference the manufacturer designation between Maxim Integrated and Analog Devices Inc. to ensure accurate sourcing from authorized channels.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing DBS receivers requiring a cost-effective, single-supply solution. The direct-conversion topology eliminates the need for intermediate frequency stages. Confirm that the 950MHz to 2150MHz tuning range aligns with your specific satellite band requirements. Verify thermal management needs for the QSOP package within the 0°C to +70°C operational envelope.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX2108 family of direct-conversion tuners. It serves as a specialized RF front-end solution for satellite television reception. The device integrates necessary tuning and conversion functions into a compact form factor, targeting high-volume consumer appliance manufacturing where board space and bill-of-materials costs are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Analog Devices substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic cross-references may not match the specific pinout or electrical characteristics of the MAX2108CEG+. Validate any substitute against the original datasheet specifications before integration.
