________________General Description
The MAX2424/MAX2426 highly integrated front-end ICs
provide the lowest cost solution for cordless and ISM-
band radios operating in the 900MHz band. Both devices
incorporate a receive image-reject mixer (to reduce filter
cost) as well as a versatile transmit mixer. The devices
operate from a +2.7V to +4.8V single power supply,
allowing direct connection to a 3-cell battery stack.
The receive path incorporates an adjustable-gain LNA
and an image-reject downconverter with 35dB image
suppression. These features yield excellent combined
downconverter noise figure (4dB) and high linearity with
an input third-order intercept point (IIP3) of up to +2dBm.
The transmitter consists of a double-balanced mixer and
a power amplifier (PA) predriver that produces up to
0dBm (in some applications serving as the final power
stage). It can be used in a variety of configurations,
including BPSK modulation, direct VCO modulation, and
transmitter upconversion. For devices featuring trans-
mit as well as receive image rejection, refer to the
MAX2420/MAX2421/MAX2422/MAX2460/MAX2463
data sheet.
The MAX2424/MAX2426 have an on-chip local oscillator
(LO), requiring only an external varactor-tuned LC tank
for operation. The integrated divide-by-64/65 dual-mod-
ulus prescaler can also be set to a direct mode, in which
it acts as an LO buffer amplifier. Four separate power-
down inputs can be used for system power manage-
ment, including a 0.5µA shutdown mode.
The MAX2424/MAX2426 come in a 28-pin SSOP pack-
age.
