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™.

Detailed Description

The MAX2209A power detector is designed to oper-

ate from 800MHz to 2.0GHz. The device is ideal for

wideband code-division multiple access (WCDMA),

cdma2000M, and high-speed downlink/uplink packet

access. The MAX2209A accepts an RF signal at the

input, and outputs a temperature-independent voltage

related to the input signal power. 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 typical application circuit, as taken from the

MAX2209A EV Kit, is shown in Figure 1. The IC can be

shut down by forcing the RFIN/SHDN DC voltage low

through a 2kω resistor. The output of the detector goes

to an ADC for further processing by the baseband sys-

tem. Connect a series resistor and shunt capacitor to the

MAX2209A output to reduce residual amplitude ripple.

The series resistor should not be less than 1kI.

EV kit gerber files, schematic, BOM, and updates are

available on the MAX2209A product page at Maxim’s

website (www.maxim-ic.com).

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 VCC to ground with a capacitor as close as pos-

sible to the part.
