RF Transmitter Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix '+T' indicates tape and reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the manufacturer source is Analog Devices or Maxim Integrated to ensure component authenticity. Check datasheet revisions for any interface or pinout updates before integration into final designs.

RF Transmitter Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring robust sub-GHz transmission with flexible modulation options. Ensure the system design accommodates the 1.8V to 3.6V supply range and the 10-pin µMAX footprint. Verify that the required data rate does not exceed the specified 200 kbps limit for optimal performance.

RF Transmitter Part Context

This part belongs to the MAX41460 family of sub-GHz transmitters designed for low-power wireless communication. It complements other Maxim Integrated RF solutions by providing a compact, single-chip transmitter option for consumer and industrial markets requiring reliable short-range data links.

RF Transmitter Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes may include other Maxim Integrated sub-GHz transmitters with similar frequency ranges and modulation support. Verify pin compatibility and interface protocols (SPI vs I2C) when considering alternative models from the same product line.
