RF transceivers target standalone femto basestations
To minimize pin count, they also utilize Maxim’s high-dynamic-range MAX-PHY serial interface. Based on architecture that has proven performance in deployments worldwide, this interface is claimed to improve time-to-market for next-generation designs.
The transceivers consume greater than 25% less power than current solutions. Small size and low power allow customers to design ultra-small femtocells and dongles that easily plug into residential gateways and access points.
A reference design kit that provides a complete evaluation platform with all necessary software will be available for rapid application development. Due to unusually high demand for the MAX2550-MAX2552, samples, data sheets, and applications support will be available by request only.
