Maxim Focuses on it Analog Expertise on Cellular HetNet

Maxim Integrated Products announced plans to leverage its analog integration to enable the evolving heterogeneous network (HetNet) requirements for next-generation base-station equipment. The solutions include single-chip multiband radio transceivers, broadband gain blocks, direct RF synthesis DACs, and intelligent, digital, point-of-load controllers.



Products include:



MAX2550–MAX2553 single-chip small-cell radio transceivers improve residential coverage and network capacity.



MAX5879 direct RF synthesis DAC for multicarrier, multiband, and multistandard macro cell, small cell, and wireless backhaul transmitters; allows designers to develop a fully digital RF transmitter on a common hardware platform.



MAX2870 ultra-wideband 23.5MHz to 6000MHz synthesizer with integrated VCO enables multiband LO frequency synthesis in base-station radios.



MAX15301 InTune digital point-of-load controller with automatic compensation, integrated FET driver, and integrated PMBus telemetry delivers high-efficiency, intelligent, power-management nodes to radio and baseband units.



The MAX2612–MAX2616 broadband, 40MHz to 4000MHz gain blocks deliver exceptional gain flatness, noise figure, and linearity; ideal for general-purpose RF amplifier applications in base-station and wireless backhaul radios.
