MAX2685EEE+

RF Mixers Overview

The MAX2685EEE+ is a low-cost, single-channel silicon RF amplifier designed for the 900 MHz ISM band. Operating within an 800 MHz to 1 GHz frequency range, it delivers a typical gain of 15 dB with a noise figure of 1.4 dB. The device functions on supply voltages between 2.7 V and 5.5 V, drawing 8.5 mA of current. Key performance metrics include a 1 dB compression point (P1dB) of -18.4 dBm and a third-order intercept point (OIP3) of -4 dBm at a test frequency of 880 MHz. It supports power dissipation up to 667 mW and operates reliably from -40°C to +85°C.
