MAX2232 Datasheet 250mw Power Amplifiers

Manufacturer: Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices)

Overview: 19-1470; Rev 0; 4/99 900MHz ISM-Band, 250mW Power Amplifiers with Analog or Digital Gain.

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.
