General Description
The MAX2370 integrated quadrature transmitter is
designed for 450MHz applications. The device takes a
differential I/Q baseband input and converts it up to
intermediate frequency (IF) through a quadrature modu-
lator and IF variable-gain amplifier (VGA). The signal is
then routed to an external IF filter and upconverted to RF
through an image-reject mixer and RF VGA. The signal
is further amplified with an on-chip power amplifier (PA)
driver. An IF synthesizer, an RF synthesizer, a local
oscillator buffer, and an SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™-
compatible, 3-wire programmable bus complete the
basic functional blocks of this IC.
The MAX2370 is available in a 48-pin TQFN package
with exposed paddle and is specified for the extended
temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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.
