MAX2267/MAX2268/MAX2269
The MAX2267/MAX2268/MAX2269 power amplifiers are
optimized for IS-98-based CDMA and PDC cellular tele-
phones operating in the Japanese cellular-frequency
band. When matched for CDMA operation, the ampli-
fiers achieve 27dBm output power with 35% efficiency
(MAX2268), with margin over the adjacent and alternate
channel specification. At a +17dBm output—a very
common power level for CDMA phones—the MAX2268
still has 7% efficiency, yielding excellent overall talk
time. At the same power level, the MAX2267/MAX2269
have an unprecedented 12%/17% efficiency, while still
obtaining 28%/29% efficiency at maximum output
power.
The MAX2267/MAX2268/MAX2269 have internally refer-
enced bias ports that are normally terminated with sim-
ple resistors. The bias ports allow customization of
ACPR margin and gain. They can also be used to
“throttle back” bias current when generating low power
levels. The MAX2267/MAX2268/MAX2269 have excel-
lent gain stability over temperature (±0.8dB), so over-
design of driver stages and excess driver current are
dramatically reduced, further increasing the phone’s
talk time. The devices can be operated from +2.7V to
+4.5V while meeting all ACPR specifications over the
entire temperature range.
The devices are packaged in a 16-pin TSSOP with
exposed paddle (EP). For module or direct chip attach
applications, the MAX2267 is also available in die form.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:
Minimum and maximum values are guaranteed by design and characterization, not production tested.
Note 2:
P
MAX
is met over this frequency range at the ACPR limit with a single matching network. For optimum performance at other
frequencies, the output matching network must be properly designed. See the
Applications Information
section. Operation
between 750MHz and 1000MHz is possible but has not been characterized.
Note 3:
PAE is specified into a 50Ω load, while meeting the ACPR requirement.
Note 4:
Time from logic transition until P

is within 1dB of its final mean power.
Note 5:
Murata isolator as load with 20:1 VSWR any phase angle after isolator.
Note 6:
Noise power can be improved by using the circuit in Figures 1 and 2.
Note 7:
Harmonics measured on the evaluation kit, which provides some harmonic attenuation in addition to the rejection provided
by the IC. The combined suppression is specified.
Note 8:
≥+25°C
guaranteed by production test,
≤+25°C
guaranteed through correlation to worst-case temperature testing.
