MAX2607EUT-T

Overview

The MAX2607EUT-T is an integrated intermediate frequency voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It operates within a frequency range of 45 MHz to 650 MHz and features differential or single-ended output configurations. The device utilizes SiGe technology for enhanced performance in compact applications. It supports a supply voltage range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and draws a typical current of 13 mA. The component is housed in a small SOT-23-6 surface-mount package, suitable for space-constrained designs.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix variant when ordering, as the MAX2607 series includes different output configurations such as the EUT+T variant which specifies the package and tape/reel packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to integration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the SOT-23-6 package. Check for obsolescence notices or lifecycle changes directly from Analog Devices before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-phase-noise VCO is required for IF applications in mobile communication devices. The choice between differential and single-ended outputs should align with the mixer requirements of the downstream circuitry. Consider the operating temperature range and supply voltage constraints during system design. Evaluate the power consumption against battery-operated device limitations to ensure optimal efficiency.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX2605/MAX2607 family of integrated IF VCOs designed for wireless communications. These components are engineered to replace discrete VCO solutions, reducing board space and simplifying design complexity. They are commonly used in second-generation and third-generation cellular handsets where size and power efficiency are critical constraints.

Replacement Considerations

Direct replacements may include other parts from the MAX2605 or MAX2607 series depending on the required output configuration. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications such as phase noise and tuning sensitivity before substitution.
