Detector cuts cellular calibration costs
Power detector reduces output variation to +/-0.5dB at full power, enabling fewer end-of-line calibration tests during handset manufacturing.
The latest from Maxim Integrated Products is a linear power detector for mobile applications in a tiny 2 x 2.2mm lead-free 5-pin SC70 package Designed to compensate for temperature and process shifts, the MAX2204 power detector reduces output variation to +/-0.5dB at full power (5dBm) and to +/-1.5dB at low power (-16dBm)

Speedy DAC claims dynamic superiority for comms
The MAX5195 is a 14bit 260Msample/s DAC claimed to provide the world's best dynamic performance in spurious-free dynamic range, intermodulation distortion and signal to noise ratio.
This enables fewer end-of-line calibration tests during handset manufacturing.
The MAX2204 uses one of Maxim' state-of-the-art silicon bipolar technologies to achieve this performance, and also operates from 450MHz to 2.5GHz.
This performance and flexibility make it ideal for today's demanding closed-loop architecture mobile applications, such as HSDPA/HSUPA, WCDMA and cdma2000 handset designs.
The MAX2204 features a detection range of -16 to +5dBm.
It supports both resistive-tapping and directional-coupler architectures.
The use of external termination at the input of the device allows a single MAX2204 to be connected to multiple direction couplers.
The MAX2204 is specified over the extended temperature range of -40 to +85C.
An evaluation kit is available to speed designs.
Prices start at US $0.39 (10,000-up, FOB USA).
