MAX2530ETI

Overview

The MAX2530ETI is an RF mixer integrated circuit from the MAX253 family, designed for cellular, PCS, and GPS applications. It features three mixers in a 28-TQFN (5x5) package. The device operates on a supply voltage of 2.7V to 3.3V with a typical supply current of 32mA. Key electrical specifications include a gain of 16dB and a noise figure of 6.5dB.

Feature Summary

• Integrates three mixers optimized for CDMA, GSM, and TDMA applications in cellular and PCS bands.
• Includes a dedicated GPS LNA/mixer signal path supporting E911 and traveler assistance functions.
• Allows flexible routing of cellular and PCS signals to either IF port for bandwidth optimization.

Applications

• CDMA cellular base stations and handsets
• GSM/PCS dual-band mobile devices
• GPS receivers requiring E911 support

Procurement Notes

Verify component status as obsolete or discontinued through official Analog Devices channels. Confirm availability of replacement series components such as MAX2531 or MAX2537 if direct sourcing is unavailable. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH regulations specified in the datasheet before procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select this component for multi-mode wireless applications requiring integrated LNA and mixer functionality. Consider the 28-TQFN package for space-constrained designs. Evaluate the 6.5dB noise figure and 16dB gain against system link budget requirements for cellular and GPS bands.

Part Context

Part of the MAX253 family of single- and multi-band LNA/mixer ICs. Designed to optimize dynamic range at minimum current consumption. Supports simultaneous operation across multiple frequency bands including cellular, PCS, and GPS within a compact surface-mount footprint.
