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

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.

FUNCTION
MAX2209
Detailed Description
The MAX2209 power detector is designed to oper-
ate from 800MHz to 2.0GHz. The device is ideal for
wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA),
cdma2000
M
, and high-speed downlink/uplink packet
access. The MAX2209 accepts an RF signal at the input,
and outputs a temperature-independent voltage related
to the input signal voltage. The output voltage expressed
in dBV is proportional to the input power expressed in
dBm. The device has a detection range from -25dBm to
0dBm.

Applications Information
The MAX2209 contains an internal termination resistor
for use with directional couplers. The typical application
circuit is shown in Figure 1. The output of the detector
goes to an ADC for further processing by the baseband
system. Connect a series resistor and shunt capacitor to
the MAX2209 output to reduce residual amplitude ripple.

Layout
There are two areas that require attention: the GND pin
and the supply bypassing. Connect the GND pin to the
PCB ground with a GND via as close as possible, and
bypass V

to ground with a capacitor as close as pos-
sible to the part.
