MAX2605EUT-T

Overview

The MAX2605EUT-T is an integrated intermediate frequency voltage-controlled oscillator (IF VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a frequency range of 45 MHz to 70 MHz and features differential outputs. The device requires a supply voltage between 2.7 V and 5.5 V, drawing a typical current of 2.8 mA. Key electrical specifications include a tuning voltage range of 400 mVDC to 6 VDC, a push performance of 60 kHz/V, and a phase noise of -117 dBc/Hz. Output power is rated at -10 dBm with secondary harmonics suppressed by -30 dBc. It is housed in a compact SOT-23-6 package suitable for surface mount applications.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (+T vs +T) against official Analog Devices documentation to ensure correct reel packaging and RoHS compliance status. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply status may vary. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact pinout and electrical characteristics required for the target application circuit.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, small-footprint IF VCO with differential outputs is required for cellular or GPS applications. Consider the 45 MHz to 70 MHz frequency range and 2.8 mA current draw against system power budgets. Evaluate the SOT-23-6 package dimensions for PCB space constraints and verify compatibility with the required tuning voltage range.
