General Description Benefits and Features
The MAX2550 is a complete single-chip RF-to-bits and S Single-Chip Femtocell Radio Transceiver
bits-to-RF radio transceiver. This device is in compliance
S WCDMA/HSPA+ Band I, V, and VIII Operation
with the 3GPP TS25.104 femtocell standard for Band I, V,
and VIII. It is equipped with multiple receive inputs and S TS25.104 Standard Compliant
transmit outputs for low band, high band, and macro-cell
S Multiple LNA Inputs for WCDMA, PCS, and GSM
monitoring (Table 1).
Macrocell Monitoring
This fully integrated transceiver facilitates compact radio
designs for dongle and standalone femtocell products by S High Level of Integration
minimizing external component count. Maxim’s MAX-PHY  On-Chip Fractional-N Frequency Synthesizers
serial interface is used to drastically reduce IC pin count, for LO Generation
while worldwide field-proven architecture accelerates  No Tx SAW Filters Required
time to product deployment.  Integrated PA Drivers for Lower-Cost Power

General Comments Additional Information
The specifications in the following pages calculate sensi-
MAX-PHY tivity with a specified front-end loss from a measured sig-
MAX-PHY is Maxim’s solution for the digital interface nal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) and an assumed
system between the radio IC and the baseband/DSP. It is minimum output SNDRSENS needed for demodulation at
a multimode, software programmable, digital signal post- sensitivity. The sensitivity values can be related to noise
processing engine that processes the data out of the figure by the formula:
radio IC and produces the digital filtered outputs for use Noise Figure of MAX2550 (dB) = Sensitivity (dBm) -
in the DSP. It enables multimode operation of the radio Front-End Loss (dB) - SNDRSENS (dB) + 174dBm/Hz -
through software control. Maxim offers an evaluation kit 10 x LOG(bandwidth in Hz)
for the MAX2550 along with an FPGA-based MAX-PHY Low-noise amplifier (LNA) and programmable-gain
evaluation platform. The FPGA includes the recommend- amplifier (PGA) gain are set according to the Conditions
ed digital channel-selection filters. The Verilog code for column in the Electrical Characteristics table. The output
these filters is also available for integration into the DSP. SNDR is measured using MAX-PHY and the bandwidth of
Contact Maxim for further information. the measurement is defined by the digital filters in MAX-
PHY. DC at the output is excluded from the SNDR meas-
urement. SNDR is calculated using an FFT of the output
bytes with a typical FFT length of 214 output samples.

MAX2550
Band I, V, and VIII WCDMA Femtocell
Transceiver with GSM Monitoring
Applications Information on all high-frequency traces. The exposed pad must be
soldered evenly to the board’s ground plane for proper
Layout Considerations operation. Use abundant ground vias between RF traces
The EV kit and reference design serve as a guide for to minimize undesired coupling. Bypass each VCC_ pin
PCB layout. Keep RF signal lines as short as possible to to ground with capacitors placed as close as possible
minimize losses and radiation. Use controlled impedance to the pin.
