General Description
The MAX2395 fully monolithic quasi-direct modulator IC
is designed for use in WCDMA/UMTS transmitters. The
quasi-direct modulation architecture reduces system
cost, component count, and board space compared to
transmitters using an IF SAW filter with IF VCO and IF
synthesizer blocks.
The MAX2395 includes I/Q baseband filters, an IF I/Q
modulator with VGA, a fully monolithic VCO with PLL,
an upconverter mixer, an RF VGA, and a power amplifi-
er (PA) driver. The use of the quasi-direct modulator
scheme ensures 5% (typ) EVM and a 30dB (min) carri-
er suppression. The RF VGA and IF VGA provide a
nominal 90dB of output power control. No external local
oscillators are required, enabling efficient implementa-
tion of variable duplex offset systems.
The PLL is programmed by loading data on the SPI™/
MICROWIRE™-compatible 3-wire serial bus. The IC
operates from a single +2.7V to +3.3V supply. The
devices are available in space-saving 28-pin QFN and
thin QFN exposed-pad packages (5mm x 5mm).

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.
