The MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 low-cost, fully integrated vector multipliers alter the magnitude and phase
of an RF signal. Each device is optimized for the UMTS
(MAX2045), DCS/PCS (MAX2046), or cellular/GSM
(MAX2047) frequency bands. These devices feature
differential RF inputs and outputs.
The MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 provide vector
adjustment through the differential I/Q amplifiers. The
I/Q amplifiers can interface with voltage and/or current
digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The voltage inputs
are designed to interface to a voltage-mode DAC, while
the current inputs are designed to interface to a currentmode DAC. An internal 2.5V reference voltage is provided for applications using single-ended voltage DACs.
The MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 operate from a 4.75V
to 5.25V single supply. All devices are offered in a compact 5mm ✕ 5mm, 32-lead thin QFN exposed-paddle
packages.
The MAX2045/MAX2046/MAX2047 evaluation kits are
available, contact factory for availability.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
