Rainbow Electronics MAX2203 User Manual

General Description
The MAX2203 RMS power detector is designed to operate from 800MHz to 2.0GHz. The device is ideal for wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA), cdma2000
®
, and high-speed downlink/uplink packet access. The MAX2203 accepts an RF signal at the input and outputs the same voltage regardless of the peak-average of the input signal. The output voltage and input power is linear in dB. The device has a
-24dBm to +3dBm detection range, and every dB change in input power gives 35mV (typ) change in out­put voltage.
The MAX2203 operates from a 2.5V to 4.2V supply and is specified over the -40°C to +85°C extended tempera­ture range. The device is available in a 6-bump WLP package.

Applications Information
The MAX2203 uses external termination when using directional couplers. Figure 1 shows the system level connection of dual-band power detection. The output of the detector is typically connected to an ADC in cdma2000 or WCDMA power-control topology.
Enable Logic Level
The MAX2203 features an enable input (ENA) that allows the device to be put into shutdown. For normal operation, drive ENA high. For device shutdown, drive ENA low. The ENA pin is DC biased through a resistor. The value of the resistor is recommended to be greater than 1kto avoid loading the RF input signal. There is an internal resistor to GND of approximately 50k. If the control source high voltage is greater than 2.8V, calculate and use a resistor value that ensures the ENA pin only sees a maximum of 2.7V, which is within speci­fication. In this manner, the MAX2203 can be driven from a control device with a logic-high greater than
2.8V.
Layout
The MAX2203 is not particularly sensitive to the layout since it only needs 3dBm for maximum output voltage. However, there are two areas that need attention: the GND pins and the supply bypassing. Connect the GND pins to the PCB ground with a ground via as close as possible, and bypass VCCto ground with a capacitor as close as possible to the part.
