MAX2251EBE+T

Product Overview

MAX2251EBE+T is a Maxim RF VGA, PA driver, CATV amplifier or RF signal-chain IC from Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated. In an RF design it is normally used as a gain-control, driver or cable/RF front-end stage, so the useful sourcing checks are not only the ordering code but also the operating band, gain behavior, output level, package footprint and bias conditions.

For this model, the key application data to verify are: IF/RF or CATV band depends on exact Maxim part family; gain range, output compression and linearity are model-specific Maxim datasheet values; and single or multi-rail RF IC supply as specified. Because RF amplifier parts are layout- and matching-sensitive, MAX2251EBE+T should be treated as an exact-BOM item unless the replacement has been validated with the same matching network, thermal design and control conditions.
