MAX2606EUT+T

Overview

The MAX2606EUT+T is an integrated intermediate frequency voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a frequency range of 70 MHz to 150 MHz and features differential output capabilities. The device requires a supply voltage between 2.7 V and 5.5 V, drawing a typical current of 3 mA. It delivers an output power of -10 dBm with a tuning voltage range of 400 mVDC to 6 VDC. Key performance metrics include a phase noise of -112 dBc/Hz, a push of 120 kHz/V, and secondary harmonics at -30 dBc. It is housed in a compact SOT-23-6 package suitable for surface mount applications.

Feature Summary

• Integrated intermediate frequency voltage controlled oscillator design
• Differential output configuration for improved signal integrity
• Compact SOT-23-6 surface mount packaging

Applications

• Intermediate frequency stages in communication systems
• GPS receiver local oscillators
• Wireless infrastructure frequency synthesis

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check for obsolescence notices, as availability may be limited. Ensure the specific suffix matches project requirements for temperature grade and packaging format before finalizing procurement orders.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, small-footprint VCO with differential output is required for IF applications. Evaluate the 70 MHz to 150 MHz frequency range against system specifications. Consider the 3 mA current consumption for battery-operated designs and verify that the SOT-23-6 package fits the PCB layout constraints.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX260x series of integrated IF VCOs from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. These components are designed to provide stable frequency generation in minimal space. The series targets applications requiring high integration and low power consumption in wireless and communication subsystems.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing circuit designs if considering alternative VCOs from the same manufacturer family.
