Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., EBL vs. EBL-T) against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure the supplier provides valid traceability documentation. Cross-reference the part number with Analog Devices or Maxim Integrated official channels to distinguish between genuine components and potential counterfeits before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for Bluetooth Class 1 applications requiring 22dBm output power in the 2.4GHz band. It is suitable for systems needing a compact 9-UCSP footprint and operation from a single 3V to 3.6V supply. Consider the -40°C to +85°C operating range for industrial or consumer environments where space constraints and power efficiency are critical design factors.

Part Context

This component belongs to the Maxim Integrated portfolio, now part of Analog Devices Inc. It is categorized as an RF power amplifier intended for narrow-band, low-power wireless applications. The device represents a solution for integrating transmission functions into small form-factor portable electronics, leveraging established RF design methodologies from the former Maxim Integrated division.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Analog Devices substitution guides for verified alternatives. Generic cross-references may not match the specific 22dBm output or UCSP package dimensions.
