General Description
The MAX2209A is a wideband (800MHz to 2GHz) RF
power detector. It takes an RF signal from the directional
coupler at the input, and
outputs a DC voltage propor-
tional to the RF peak voltage. The change in output
voltage versus temperature is very repeatable from part
to part and enables a lookup table based on nominal
behavior, minimizing the effective detection error
to less
than
Q0.5dB
relative to room temperature.
The MAX2209A comes in a space-saving 2 x 2, 0.5mm
pitch UCSP™.

Note 1:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a
4-layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Note 2:
For detailed information on soldering, refer to Application Note 1891:
Wafer-Level Packaging (WLP) and Its Applications.
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.
