MAX4002EBL+T

RF Detectors Overview

The MAX4002EBL+T is a low-cost, low-power logarithmic amplifier designed for RF power control applications. It operates within a frequency range of 100MHz to 2.5GHz and provides a typical dynamic range of 45dB. The device features an input range of -30dBm to +15dBm in a 50Ω system. It offers temperature-stable linear-in-dB response with a fast 70ns response time for a 10dB step. Power consumption is typically 17mW at 3V, with a maximum shutdown current of 30µA. The component is housed in an 8-bump UCSP package.

RF Detectors Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '+T' indicates tape-and-reel packaging configuration as per manufacturer documentation. Confirm that the 'E' designation aligns with the intended industrial or extended temperature grade requirements for your application environment. Ensure compatibility with the 8-bump UCSP footprint during PCB layout review. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure all electrical characteristics match your design specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Detectors Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring precise RF power monitoring between 100MHz and 2.5GHz. The -30dBm to +15dBm input range suits cellular handsets and similar wireless terminals. Consider the 17mW typical power consumption for battery-operated devices. The 70ns response time is critical for applications demanding rapid power adjustment. Evaluate the 8-bump UCSP package size constraints against available board space.

RF Detectors Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX4000/MAX4001/MAX4002 family of low-cost, low-power logarithmic amplifiers. While the MAX4000 and MAX4001 offer different input ranges (-58dBm to 0dBm and -35dBm to +10dBm respectively), the MAX4002 specifically targets higher power levels up to +15dBm. All members share the same core architecture, frequency range, and package options, differing primarily in their calibrated input voltage thresholds.
