MAX2440/MAX2441/MAX2442
The MAX2440/MAX2441/MAX2442 highly integrated
front-end receiver ICs provide the lowest cost solution for
cordless phones and ISM-band radios operating in the
900MHz band. All devices incorporate receive image-
reject mixers to reduce filter cost. They operate with a
+2.7V to +4.8V power supply, allowing direct connection
to a 3-cell battery stack.
The signal 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 (IP3) of up to +2dBm.
All devices include an on-chip local oscillator (LO),
requiring only an external varactor-tuned LC tank for
operation. The integrated divide-by-64/65 dual-modulus
prescaler can also be set to a direct mode, in which it
acts as an LO buffer amplifier. Three separate power-
down inputs can be used for system power manage-
ment, including a 0.5µA shutdown mode. These parts
are compatible with commonly used modulation
schemes such as FSK, BPSK, and QPSK, as well as fre-
quency hopping and direct sequence spread-spectrum
systems. All devices come in a 28-pin SSOP package.
Evaluation kits are available for the MAX2420/
MAX2421/MAX2422. The MAX2420/MAX2421/MAX2422
are transceivers whose receive sections and pinout are
identical to the MAX2440/MAX2441/MAX2442.
For complete transceiver devices, refer to the MAX2420/
MAX2421/MAX2422/MAX2460/MAX2463 and MAX2424/
MAX2426 data sheets.

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.

Note 5:
Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 6:
Image rejection typically falls to 30dBc at the frequency extremes.
Note 7:
Refer to the
Typical Operating Characteristics
for plots showing receiver gain versus LNAGAIN voltage, input IP3 versus
LNAGAIN voltage, and noise figure versus LNAGAIN voltage.
Note 8:
Two tones at P
RXIN
= -45dBm each, f1 = 915.0MHz and f2 = 915.2MHz.
Note 9:
Time delay from RXON = 0.45V to RXON = 2.4V transition to the time the output envelope reaches 90% of its final value.
Note 10:
Refers to useable operating range. Tuning range of any given tank circuit design is typically much narrower (refer to Figure 1).
Note 11:
Using tank components L3 = 5.0nH (Coilcraft A02T), C2 = C3 = C26 = 3.3pF, R6 = R7 = 10Ω.
Note 12:
This approximates a typical application in which a transmitter is followed by an external PA and a T/R switch with finite
isolation.
Note 13:
Relative to the rising edge of PREOUT.
