MAX2208EBS+T10

RF Detectors Overview

The MAX2208EBS+T10 is a wideband RF power detector designed for cellular and CDMA applications. It operates within a frequency range of 800MHz to 2GHz, covering bands such as 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz, and 2100MHz. The device provides an input power detection range from -10dBm to +15dBm with a typical accuracy of ±0.3dB. It functions on a single supply voltage between 2.7V and 5V, consuming approximately 3.5mA of current. The component is housed in a compact 4-UCSP (1.05x1.05mm) package.

RF Detectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix and tape/reel quantity requirements against current distributor listings, as availability may vary. Confirm that the 4-UCSP footprint matches your PCB design constraints. Check RoHS compliance status and lead times due to potential lifecycle changes or obsolescence notices associated with this Maxim Integrated part number.

RF Detectors Selection Notes

Select this component when precise RF power measurement is required for CDMA or GSM systems operating between 800MHz and 2GHz. Consider the ±0.3dB accuracy and low supply current for battery-operated devices. Ensure the 4-UCSP package size fits the layout. Evaluate alternatives if higher frequency ranges or different accuracy specifications are needed for WCDMA or LTE applications.

RF Detectors Part Context

This device belongs to the MAX2205–MAX2208 family of wideband power detectors. These components share similar architectural features but are optimized for specific standards like TDMA, GSM, or CDMA. The MAX2208 variant specifically targets CDMA band requirements, offering tailored performance characteristics for those frequency ranges compared to its siblings in the series.
