MAX2310/MAX2312/MAX2314/MAX2316
The MAX2310/MAX2312/MAX2314/MAX2316 are IF
receivers designed for dual-band, dual-mode, and sin-
gle-mode N-CDMA and W-CDMA cellular phone sys-
tems. The signal path consists of a variable gain
amplifier (VGA) and I/Q demodulator. The devices fea-
ture guaranteed +2.7V operation, a dynamic range of
over 110dB, and high input IP3 (-33dBm at 35dB gain,
1.7dBm at -35dB).
Unlike similar devices, the MAX2310 family of receivers
includes dual oscillators and synthesizers to form a
self-contained IF subsystem. The synthesizer’s refer-
ence and RF dividers are fully programmable through a
3-wire serial bus, enabling dual-band system architec-
tures using any common reference and IF frequency.
The differential baseband outputs have enough band-
width to suit both N-CDMA and W-CDMA systems, and
offer saturated output levels of 2.7Vp-p at a low +2.75V
supply voltage. Including the low-noise voltage-con-
trolled oscillator (VCO) and synthesizer, the MAX2310
draws only 26mA from a +2.75V supply in CDMA (dif-
ferential IF) mode.
The MAX2310/MAX2312/MAX2314/MAX2316 are avail-
able in 28-pin QSOP packages.

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.
