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.

Features
♦ 5% EVM for POUT = +6dBm
♦ 1920MHz to 1980MHz Operation
♦ +2.7V to +3.3V Single-Supply Operation
♦ +6dBm Output Power at 72mA
♦ 81dB Minimum Automatic Gain-Control (AGC) Range
♦ Automatic ICC Throttle Back for Optimal Power Consumption
♦ No IF SAW Filter Necessary
♦ On-Chip RF PLL, with Fully Monolithic VCO
♦ Ultra-Low External Component Count

Applications
    WCDMA Phones
    UMTS/EDGE Phones
    W-TDD Phones
