MAX2205–MAX2208
The MAX2205–MAX2208 wideband (800MHz to 2GHz)
power detectors are ideal for GSM/EDGE (MAX2206),
TDMA (MAX2207), and CDMA (MAX2205/MAX2208)
applications. The MAX2206/MAX2207/MAX2208 take an
RF signal from a directional coupler at the input, and out-
put a highly repeatable voltage. The output voltage
increases monotonically with increasing input power. The
output is compensated for temperature and process
shifts, reducing the worst-case variation to less than
±1dB at full power and ±2.5dB at the lowest power.
The MAX2206 features 40dB dynamic range, making
it ideally suited to GSM/EDGE applications. The
MAX2207 offers reduced current consumption for TDMA
applications. The MAX2205/MAX2208 each have an inte-
grated filter to allow for average power detection of
CDMA signals over a 25dB dynamic range. The
MAX2206/MAX2207/MAX2208 offer internal 50Ω termina-
tion for interfacing with a directional coupler. The
MAX2205 has a high-impedance input to provide a low-
loss resistive tap in CDMA applications. All devices allow
the user to control the averaging time constant externally.
The MAX2205–MAX2208 come in a space-saving 2
✕
2,
0.5mm-pitch UCSP™ and require only three external
components.

Note 1:
This device is constructed using a unique set of packaging techniques that imposes a limit on the thermal profile the device
can be exposed to during board-level solder attach and rework. This limit permits only the use of the solder profiles recom-
mended in the industry-standard specification, JEDEC 020 rev. C or later, paragraph 7.6, Table 3 for IR/VPR and convection
reflow. Preheating is required. Hand or wave soldering is not allowed.
Note 2:
Specifications over T
A
= -40°C to +85°C are guaranteed by design. Production tests are performed at T
A
= +25°C.
Note 3:
Response time is taken from the time the RF signal is applied to 90% of the final value of V
OUT
.
Note 4:
At 800MHz, output voltage is held at a value that nominally results from the final value of +31dBm input power. Deviation from
+31dBm is specified. At 2GHz, output voltage is held at a value that nominally results from +28dBm input power. Deviation
from +28dBm is specified.
Note 5:
At 2GHz, output voltage is held 22dB lower than specified in Note 4. At 800MHz, output voltage is held 25dB lower than spec-
ified in Note 4.
Note 6:
At 800MHz, output voltage is held at a value that nominally results from +15dBm input power. Deviation from +15dBm is
specified. At 2GHz, output voltage is held at a value that nominally results from +13dBm input power. Deviation from +13dBm
is specified.
Note 7:
For MAX2206, the output voltage is held at 40dB lower input power than specified in Note 6; for MAX2207/MAX2208, output
voltage is held at a value that nominally results from 25dB lower input power than specified in Note 6. Deviation from the
nominal input power is specified.

FUNCTION
RF Input and Shutdown Logic Input. AC-couple the RF input to this pin and apply the shutdown logic
input through a resistor. Drive low to turn the part off, drive high, or connect to V
CC
to turn the part on.
Power-Supply Pin. Bypass to GND with a capacitor as close to the bump as possible.
Ground Connection. Multiple ground vias placed as close to the IC as possible should be used to
connect the ground pin to the ground plane. Connect to PC board ground plane with as low
inductance as possible.

RF Power Detectors in UCSP
Applications Information
The MAX2205–MAX2208 have internal termination
resistors for use with directional couplers. The applica-
tion circuit is shown in Figure 1. The output of the
detector goes to an op amp in an analog GSM power-
control scheme, or to an ADC in other systems such as
TDMA or discrete-time GSM power control.
The MAX2205 has high-input impedance for use with
high-value resistive tapping from a CDMA power ampli-
fier. This coupling method is the lowest cost and lowest
loss when used with an isolator. The application circuit
is shown in Figure 2. Connect C
FILTER
from the
MAX2205 output to GND to reduce residual amplitude
ripple. For IS98A reverse channel signal with peak-to-
avg ratio of 3.9dB, a 1.5nF capacitor gives 43mV
P-P
rip-
ple at 28dBm PA output and 390µs response time. For
CDMA2000 (pilot + DCCH) with peak-to-avg ratio of
5.4dB, the ripple is about 65mV
P-P
at 26dBm PA output.
The MAX2205 input impedance is listed in Table 1.
UCSP Reliability
The UCSP is a unique package that greatly reduces
board space compared to other packages. UCSP relia-
bility is integrally linked to the user’s assembly methods,
circuit board material, and usage environment. The user
should closely review these areas when considering
using a UCSP. This form factor might not perform equally
to a packaged product through traditional mechanical
reliability tests. Performance through operating life test
and moisture resistance remains uncompromised, as it
is determined primarily by the wafer-fabrication process.
Mechanical stress performance is a greater considera-
tion for a UCSP. UCSP solder-joint contact integrity must
be considered because the package is attached through
direct solder contact to the user’s PC board. Testing
done to characterize the UCSP reliability performance
shows that it is capable of performing reliably through
environmental stresses. Results of environmental stress
tests and additional usage data and recommendations
are detailed in the UCSP application note, which can be
found on Maxim’s website, www.maxim-ic.com.
MAX2205–MAX2208
Layout
As with any RF circuit, the layout of the MAX2205–
MAX2208 circuits affects performance. Use a short
50Ω line at the input with multiple ground vias along the
length of the line. The input capacitor and resistor
should be placed as close to the IC as possible. The
V
CC
input should be bypassed as close as possible to
the IC with multiple vias connecting the capacitor to
ground. Refer to the MAX2205–MAX2208 EV kit data
sheet for a sample layout and details.
