MAX2685EEE-T

RF Mixers Overview

The MAX2685EEE-T is a low-cost, integrated RF front-end module designed for 900MHz applications. It combines a low-noise amplifier (LNA), an LNA bypass switch, a downconverter mixer, and a local-oscillator buffer within a single package. The device operates on a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 5.5V with a typical supply current of 14.1mA. Key electrical specifications include an LNA noise figure of 1.4dB and a gain of 15dB. The component is housed in a 16-pin QSOP package.

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EEE-T' against official Analog Devices documentation to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging configuration and temperature grade. Ensure compatibility with 16-QSOP footprints during PCB layout. Cross-reference part numbers carefully as distributor listings may vary in accuracy regarding lead-free status or reel quantities.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring a compact, cost-effective solution for 900MHz signal processing. It is suitable where space constraints preclude discrete LNA and mixer implementations. Consider the 1.4dB noise figure for sensitivity requirements and verify that the 14.1mA supply current aligns with system power budgets.

RF Mixers Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX2685 family of analog RF components manufactured by Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated.
