MAX2830ETM+

RF Transceiver ICS Overview

The MAX2830ETM+ is a direct-conversion, zero-IF RF transceiver designed for 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz 802.11b/g WLAN applications. It operates on a single 2.7 V to 3.6 V supply and features a TQFN-48 package. The device supports data rates up to 11 Mb/s with an output power of 20.3 dBm. It utilizes a 3-Wire serial interface for control and includes one receiver and one transmitter channel. Operating temperatures range from -40°C to +85°C.

RF Transceiver ICS Feature Summary

RF Transceiver ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ETM+' against the manufacturer's official datasheet to confirm pinout, thermal characteristics, and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package type and temperature grade required for your design. Cross-reference with Analog Devices documentation to avoid confusion with similar variants in the MAX2830 family that may have different electrical specifications or packaging options.

RF Transceiver ICS Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for 802.11b/g standards requiring integrated zero-IF performance. Consider the 2.4 GHz to 2.5 GHz frequency range and 20.3 dBm output power limits. Evaluate the TQFN-48 package for space constraints and the 3-Wire serial interface compatibility with your microcontroller. Confirm suitability for industrial temperature ranges if operating conditions exceed commercial limits.

RF Transceiver ICS Part Context

The MAX2830 belongs to the Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) line of WLAN transceivers. It is part of a series focused on low-cost, high-integration solutions for 2.4 GHz ISM band communications. The ETM+ designation typically indicates a specific lead-free, tape-and-reel or tube packaging variant within the broader MAX2830 product family.
