MAX2607EUT

Overview

The MAX2607EUT+T is an integrated intermediate frequency voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) from Analog Devices, housed in a compact SOT-23-6 surface-mount package. It operates within a frequency range of 150 MHz to 300 MHz and supports a tuning voltage range of 400 mVDC to 6 VDC. The device delivers an output power of -10 dBm with a secondary harmonic suppression of -30 dBc. It functions on a single supply voltage between 2.7 V and 5.5 V, drawing a typical current of 3.5 mA. Key performance metrics include a phase noise of -107 dBc/Hz and a tuning sensitivity of 220 kHz/V. The component is rated for operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated varactor diode eliminates external tuning components
• Provides differential or single-ended output configurations
• Low phase noise characteristics suitable for precision applications
• Compact SOT-23-6 footprint for space-constrained designs

Applications

• Cellular communication systems
• GPS receiver front-ends
• ISM band transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (+T) against the manufacturer's latest datasheet to confirm tape-and-reel packaging specifications. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required frequency range variant, as the MAX2607 series includes multiple models covering different bands. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official documentation prior to procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-power, small-footprint VCO is required for IF stages in wireless receivers. Compare the 150 MHz to 300 MHz operating range against system requirements. Evaluate the -107 dBc/Hz phase noise specification against link budget needs. Consider the 3.5 mA current consumption for battery-operated devices.

Part Context

The MAX2607 belongs to a family of integrated IF VCOs designed by Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. These components are engineered to simplify RF circuit design by combining the oscillator core and tuning elements into a single monolithic IC. The series targets cost-sensitive and size-limited mobile applications.
