MAX2232 Datasheet (Maxim) - 250mW Power Amplifiers

MAX2232, 250mW Power Amplifiers

The MAX2232/MAX2233 low-voltage, silicon RF power amplifiers (PAs) are designed for use in the 900MHz ISM band.

They operate from a single +2.7V to +5.5V supply, allowing them to be powered directly from a 3cell NiCd or a 1-cell Lithium-Ion battery.

The devices typically deliver 250mW (+24dBm) of ou
