MAX2117CTI+T

Overview

The MAX2117CTI+T is a direct-conversion tuner IC designed for MMDS and WCS applications, operating within the 470 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range. It integrates a monolithic voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and utilizes a 28-TQFN (5x5 mm) surface-mount package. The component supports single-supply operation and is engineered for low-power performance in wireless communication systems requiring efficient signal tuning and conversion.

Feature Summary

• Integrates a monolithic voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) for simplified circuit design
• Supports direct-conversion architecture for MMDS and WCS bands
• Optimized for low-power consumption in portable wireless devices

Applications

• MMDS receiver front-ends
• WCS system tuners
• Wireless local loop equipment

Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix and tape/reel specifications against the manufacturer's current datasheet before ordering. Confirm availability status with authorized distributors, as supply levels may vary. Ensure the receiving facility handles ESD-sensitive components appropriately during storage and assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for MMDS or WCS frequencies between 470 MHz and 1 GHz. Consider the integrated VCO feature if minimizing external passive components is a priority. Evaluate power supply requirements and thermal management needs associated with the TQFN package for the specific application environment.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated RF tuner family, specifically targeting multichannel video distribution systems. It represents a solution for integrating tuning functions directly into the receiver chain, reducing board space compared to discrete solutions. The product line focuses on high-performance analog front-end processing for broadcast reception.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Analog Devices substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic cross-references may not match the integrated VCO characteristics or pinout configuration.
