Maxim MAX2235EUP Datasheet

General Description
The MAX2240 single-supply, low-voltage power amplifi­er (PA) IC is designed specifically for applications in the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz frequency band. The PA is com­pliant with Bluetooth, HomeRF, and 802.11 standards, as well as other FSK modulation systems. The PA pro­vides a nominal +20dBm (100mW) output power in the highest power mode.
The PA includes a digital power control circuit to greatly simplify control of the output power. Four digitally con­trolled output power levels are provided: from +3dBm to +20dBm. A digital input controls the active or shut­down operating modes of the PA. In the shutdown mode, the current reduces to 0.5µA.
The IC integrates the RF input and interstage matching to simplify application of the IC. Temperature and sup­ply-independent biasing are also included to provide stable performance under all operating conditions.
The IC operates from a +2.7V to +5V single-supply volt­age. No negative bias voltage is required. Current con­sumption is a modest 105mA at the highest power level.
The part is packaged in the ultra-chipscale package (UCSP), significantly reducing the required PC board area. The chip occupies only a 1.56mm x 1.56mm area. The 3 x 3 array of solder bumps are spaced with a
0.5mm bump pitch.

Note 1: Limits are 100% production tested at TA= +25°C. Limits over the entire operating temperature range are guaranteed by
design and characterization but are not production tested.
Note 2: Supply current is measured with RF power applied to the input.
Note 3: Measured with an output-matching network to minimize the 2nd and 3rd harmonics (see Applications section).
Note 4: Power steps between adjacent power levels. All other operating conditions remain constant during power step change.
Note 5: Output measured in 100kHz RBW. Test signal modulation shall comply with GFSK, BT = 0.5, 1-bit/symbol, 1Mbps, frequency
deviation = 175kHz.
Note 6: The total turn-on time for the PA output power to settle within 1dB of the final value. Note 7: The total turn-off time for the PA output power to drop to -10dBm. Note 8: After removal of the load mismatch, the PA returns to operation under normal conditions. Note 9: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
