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 150 MHz to 300 MHz and features differential or single-ended output configurations. The device is housed in a compact 6-pin SOT-23 surface-mount package. It supports a supply voltage range from 2.7 V to 5.5 V and draws a typical current of 8 mA. The unit functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C, designed for robust performance in RF applications.

• ISM band transceivers

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet revision and ordering suffix when sourcing this component. Confirm that the required output configuration matches the available variant, as differential and single-ended outputs may correspond to distinct part numbers within the same family. Ensure compatibility with the target PCB footprint and thermal management requirements before finalizing procurement decisions.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a stable IF source in the 150 MHz to 300 MHz range. Evaluate the power consumption and phase noise specifications against system sensitivity requirements. Consider the SOT-23-6 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and board space. Verify that the control voltage range aligns with the available tuning circuitry in the host application.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX260x series of integrated IF VCOs from Maxim Integrated, now part of Analog Devices. These components are engineered to simplify RF front-end designs by combining the oscillator core with necessary biasing and buffering in a small form factor. They serve as critical frequency generation elements in wireless communication infrastructure and portable devices.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include other parts from the MAX260x series, such as the MAX2605EUT+T or MAX2606EUT+T, provided their frequency ranges encompass the 150 MHz to 300 MHz requirement. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before substitution.
