MAX2880ETP+

Overview

The MAX2880ETP+ is a high-performance phase-locked loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer from Analog Devices, capable of operating in both integer-N and fractional-N modes. It supports output frequencies ranging from 250MHz to 12.4GHz when combined with an external reference. The device is housed in a compact 20-TQFN package measuring 4x4 mm. Designed for low noise performance, it serves as a versatile solution for local oscillator generation in advanced communication systems.

Feature Summary

• Supports both integer-N and fractional-N PLL operation modes for flexible frequency synthesis
• Delivers ultra-low phase noise characteristics suitable for sensitive RF applications
• Enables direct local oscillator generation for data converter clocking

Applications

• Local oscillator generation for 5G wireless infrastructure
• Data converter clock applications requiring precise timing
• Ultra-low noise frequency synthesizer implementations

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or the manufacturer directly. Confirm RoHS compliance status and check current availability as supply levels may fluctuate. Ensure the specific suffix matches design requirements before ordering.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring wideband synthesis up to 12.4GHz with minimal phase noise. Evaluate external reference source compatibility and ensure the 20-TQFN footprint fits the PCB layout constraints. Consider thermal management within the specified operating temperature range.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX2880 series of high-performance PLLs. It is distinct from other Maxim Integrated monitoring circuits like the MAX6880 or power controllers like the MAX5988. The ETP+ suffix indicates the specific package type and lead-free composition.
