Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix and tape-and-reel quantity against the manufacturer's latest documentation before procurement. Confirm that the 40-WFQFN package dimensions match your PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with the required supply voltage range of 2.7 V or higher for reliable operation in your target application environment.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing receivers for DAB or FM broadcast bands requiring a single-chip solution. Consider the 87 MHz to 1492 MHz operating range to ensure coverage of all relevant frequencies. Evaluate the 40-pin package size against available board space constraints during the initial layout phase.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated tuner family, specifically engineered for digital audio broadcasting standards. It serves as a key RF front-end block in consumer electronics, replacing discrete mixer and filter stages. The device integrates necessary analog and digital control functions into a compact form factor.

Replacement Considerations

Check for MAX2170EVKIT evaluation boards for testing. Verify if MAX2170ETL/V+T variants offer equivalent performance specifications for direct substitution in existing designs.
