MAX2233 - 250mW Power Amplifiers

Download the MAX2233 datasheet PDF. This datasheet also covers the MAX2232 variant, as both devices belong to the same 250mw power amplifiers family and are provided as variant models within a single manufacturer datasheet.

General Description

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.

19-1470; Rev 1; 6/00 MAX2232/MAX2233 900MHz ISM-Band, 250mW Power Amplifiers with Analog or Digital Gain Control General Description 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 output power at 915MHz from a single +3.6V supply, or 150mW (+22dBm) from a single +2.7V supply. At +24dBm output power, power-added efficiency (PAE) is 44%.
