Highly Integrated Femtocell RF Transceiver Family Drives Deployment of Next-Generation Femto Base Stations
Maxim introduced sampling of the MAX2550–MAX2552, a family of multiband transceivers specifically designed for a new range of dongle, module, and stand-alone femto base stations. These highly integrated transceivers have multiple low-noise-amplifier (LNA) inputs to monitor WCDMA and GSM macro-network signals. To minimize pin count, they also utilize Maxim’s high-dynamic-range MAX-PHY™ serial interface.
BaseBase-station designers will benefit from the smaller size and lower power of the MAX2550–MAX2552. These 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.
