Note 1: Devices are production tested at T A = +25°C. Minimum and maximum values are guaranteed by design and characterization
over temperature and supply voltage.
Note 2: High-gain mode is set for the MAX2642 by connecting RFOUT to GND through a 33k Ω resistor.
Note 3: Low-gain mode is applicable only to the MAX2642 and is set by connecting RFOUT to V CC through a 33k Ω resistor.
Note 4: Maximum DC voltage through a 33k Ω resistor that sets the MAX2642 to operate in high-gain mode.
Note 5: Minimum DC voltage through a 33k Ω resistor that sets the MAX2642 to operate in low-gain mode.
Note 6: DC current required when RFOUT is connected to GND through a 33k Ω resistor (MAX2642) and 10kΩ resistor (MAX2643).
Note 7: DC current required when RFOUT is connected to V CC through a 33k Ω resistor (MAX2642) and 10kΩ resistor (MAX2643).
Note 8: Normal operation is set for the MAX2643 by connecting RFOUT to V CC through a 10k Ω resistor.
Note 9: Shutdown is set for the MAX2643 by connecting RFOUT to GND through a 10k Ω resistor.
Note 10: Minimum DC voltage through a 10k Ω resistor that sets the MAX2643 to operate in normal mode.
Note 11: Maximum DC voltage through a 10k Ω resistor that sets the MAX2643 to operate in shutdown mode.
Note 12: Min/Max limits are guaranteed by design and characterization, except gain is production tested at T A = +25°C.
Note 13: The part has been characterized at the specified frequency range. Operation outside this range is possible but not guar-
anteed.
Note 14: Devices are production tested at T A = +25°C.
Note 15: Measured with two input tones, f 1 = 895MHz and f 2 = 905MHz, both at -30dBm per tone.
Note 16: Excludes PC board losses (0.25dB typical at the input of the MAX2642/MAX2643 EV kit).
