MAX2240
General Description
The MAX2240 single-supply, low-voltage power amplifier (PA) IC is designed specifically for applications in
the 2.4GHz to 2.5GHz frequency band. The PA is compliant with Bluetooth, HomeRF, and 802.11 standards,
as well as other FSK modulation systems. The PA provides a nominal +20dBm (100mW) output power in the
highest power mode.
The PA includes a digital power control circuit to greatly
simplify control of the output power. Four digitally controlled output power levels are provided: from +3dBm
to +20dBm. A digital input controls the active or shutdown operating modes of the PA. In the shutdown
mode, the current reduces to 0.5µA.
The IC integrates the RF input and interstage matching
to simplify application of the IC. Temperature and supply-independent biasing are also included to provide
stable performance under all operating conditions.
The IC operates from a +2.7V to +5V single-supply voltage. No negative bias voltage is required. Current consumption is a modest 105mA at the highest power
level.

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX2240 PA is guaranteed to operate over a
2.4GHz to 2.5GHz frequency range with a +2.7V to
+5V single supply. The PA provides a nominal +20dBm
output power in the highest power mode setting (D0 =
D1 = 1). The signal path consists of two amplifier
stages: an input amplifier stage and a PA stage. A
matching circuit is provided between the two stages to
match the amplifiers’ impedance. The PA also contains
bias circuits that interface to external logic commands
(D0, D1, and SHDN) to control output power and
power-up/down of the amplifier.
The input amplifier is an AC-coupled variable gain
amplifier (VGA) with its input port internally matched to
50Ω. The amplifier is AC-coupled; hence, a DC blocking capacitor is not required at the RFIN port. The VGA
gain is varied by changing the bias current through a
current driver circuit. The current driver circuit provides

four levels (magnitudes) of precisely controlled currents
to the VGA, depending on power control digital inputs
D0 and D1. Each current level presents a different
power level to the final amplifier stage, therefore controlling the output power.
The digital power control circuit of the PA greatly simplifies control of the output power. The two digital bits
D0 and D1 control the output power in four steps with
approximately a 6dB/step. The PA is optimized to provide power control steps within a 2dB/step to 8.6dB/
step over the full temperature range and VCC and RF
input power variations. Table 1 shows the D0 and D1
digital control states, the corresponding nominal output
power, and the typical current consumption of the IC.
The bias circuit provides separate bias voltages and
currents to the amplifier stages. An internal lowpass RC
filter isolates the bias circuit from being corrupted by
the RF signals. The bias circuit is optimized to minimize
output power variations due to the variations in temperature, VCC, and RF power input. The bias circuit design
also ensures the stability of the PA when connected to
high VSWR loads over all power levels. A digital low at
the SHDN port turns the amplifier down with a current
consumption of less than 1µA.
The MAX2240 integrates all the RF matching components on-chip, except for the output stage match. The
internal input match enables the RF input with 50Ω
impedance to be directly connected to the RFIN port
through a 50Ω transmission line.
The MAX2240 PA requires an external match at the
RFOUT port to optimize the amplifier for output power
and efficiency. For an optimum match at 2.45GHz, the
load impedance at the RFOUT port is approximately
15Ω + j18Ω (Figure 1). There are numerous ways of
transforming 50Ω to the optimum impedance. The output matching in the typical operating circuit is implemented using a series transmission line of 75Ω and
electrical length of 26°, and an open-ended shunt stub
6
of 65Ω and 41° in length. The shunt stub also reduces
the second harmonic at the output.
Applications Information
The MAX2240 power amplifier requires a relatively
small number of external components. These components are small, low-cost surface-mount passive elements. The capacitors are all 0402 multilayer ceramic
chip capacitors. These capacitors possess excellent
high-frequency properties and are cost effective. The
Typical Application Circuit is shown on page 1.
The inductor is a Q (>25) 0603 chip inductor. All transmission lines are simple microstrip structures printed
on the PC board.
Power-Supply Considerations
The MAX2240 is designed to operate from a single, positive supply voltage (VCC). Three pins are fed by the supply voltage: BIAS, V CC , and RFOUT. Each supply
voltage connection requires a separate RF bypass
capacitor for proper operation. Use a 0.1µF bypass
capacitor to filter the supply at the common VCC node
(see Typical Application Circuit).
BIAS requires a 220pF capacitor to ground. Locate one
end of the capacitor as close as possible to BIAS and
the other end of the capacitor near GND1 with several
vias to the ground plane.
VCC powers the amplifier 1st stage output. A 1.2nH
inductor in series with VCC and the VCC bypass capacitor is needed for optimal output power and efficiency.
An 18pF bypass capacitor to ground is required at the
supply end of the 1.2nH inductor.
RFOUT is connected to the power supply through a
choke inductor (through transmission line section T1).
Select a choke with a self-resonant frequency at or
slightly below 2.4GHz. A 220pF bypass capacitor is
needed at the supply voltage end of the inductor.

2.5GHz, +20dBm Power Amplifier IC

Output Stage (RF Output)
The output stage of the MAX2240 power amplifier is the
collector of a transistor. The DC bias and impedance
matching network are off-chip as shown in the Typical
Application Circuit.
An off-chip external network, as with most PA ICs, is
used to achieve higher efficiency and output power
than is typically achieved using low-Q on-chip matching elements. Optimum output power and efficiency are
achieved with a particular impedance on the output at
the operating frequencies of interest and a short at the
RF harmonic frequencies. This impedance is specified
relative to a reference plane at the amplifier output into
the matching network and load. This is the impedance
that achieves the output power and current consumption listed in the electrical specifications. It is shown
below in the chart and table of Figure 1.
MATCHING IMPEDANCE FOR RFOUT PIN
SMITH CHART

1
The primary power-matching structure is a lowpass network formed by the series transmission line section T1
and the open-stub transmission line section T2. The
transmission line network acts like a series inductance
and shunt capacitance. T1 and T2 are expressed as
electrical lengths of a particular characteristic impedance line, but could be designed with different impedance lines.
Choose the length of T2 to provide a short at the 2nd
harmonic frequency of the fundamental, and significantly
attenuate its amplitude at the output—1/4 wave at the
2nd harmonic frequency of 4.9GHz. The 3rd harmonic is
attenuated through the clever use of the parasitic capacitance in the choke. This capacitance rolls off the choke
impedance at higher frequencies and appears as a
low impedance at the 3rd harmonic frequency.
The output series capacitor is used as a DC-blocking
capacitor and a final matching element. A value of
10pF is recommended.
As explained in the Power-Supply Considerations section, for proper DC biasing, the PA requires a connection
to VCC through an inductor, serving as a choke. Locate
the inductor on the load side of transmission line T1. The
recommended inductor value is 22nH. However, its
value is not critical but must provide an impedance that
is several hundred ohms. Choose an inductor with a selfresonant frequency at or slightly below 2.4GHz. The
inductor Q is not critical; a moderate Q (>25) is sufficient. Remember to provide sufficient current-handling
capability for the inductor, in this case at least 200mA.
Also, a 220pF bypass capacitor is recommended at the
supply voltage end of the inductor.

Design the layout for the PA IC to be as compact as
possible to minimize the magnitude of parasitics. The
chipscale IC package uses a bump pitch of 0.5mm (19.7
mil) and bump diameter of 0.3mm (~12 mil). Therefore,
lay out the solder pad spacing on 0.5mm (19.7 mil) centers, use a pad size of 0.25mm (~10 mil) and a solder
mask opening of 0.33mm (13 mil). Round or square
pads are permissible. (Refer to the Maxim document,
Wafer Level Ultra-Chipscale Packaging for additional
detailed information on UCSP layout and handling.)
Connect multiple vias from the ground plane as close to
the ground pins as possible.
As already described, locate the capacitors as close as
possible to the IC supply voltage pin or supply end of
the series inductor. Place the ground end of these
capacitors near the IC GND pins to provide a lowimpedance return path for the signal current.

MAX2240
RF Input
The internal input stage impedance matching network
is integrated on the MAX2240, so it is possible to
directly connect a 50Ω transmission line to RFIN. No
external matching is required.
MAX2240
2.5GHz, +20dBm Power Amplifier IC
in UCSP Package
SHDN
SHDN is located in the center of the bump layout of the
MAX2240. Therefore, the SHDN line requires the use of
either a via to a buried line or a trace that fits inside a
10-mil gap between solder pads to bring out a connection from SHDN.
D0, D1 Pins
Digital power control inputs D0 and D1 have CMOSlogic level inputs. As in any PC board circuit, the length
of the logic signal traces determines the susceptibility
to high-frequency noise that can interfere with normal
switching. Therefore, in some cases, it can be necessary to provide some local lowpass filtering of the logic
traces to suppress HF noise coupling to these inputs.
Output Match Layout
It is possible to lay out the output matching network
transmission traces in a more compact manner if PC
board area is limited. Series lines T1 and T2 can be
constructed as folded lines, though it can be necessary
to chamfer the corners for wide lines.
Prototype Chip Installation
Alignment keys on the PC board around the area where
the chip is located are helpful in the prototype assembly
process. The MAX2240 EV kit PC board has L-shaped
alignment keys at the diagonal corners of the chip. It is
better to align the chip on the board before any other
components are placed, and then place the board on a
hotplate or hot surface until the solder starts melting.
Remove the board from the hotplate without disturbing
the position of the chip, and let it cool down to room temperature before processing the board further.
UCSP Reliability
The UCSP represents a unique packaging form factor that
may not perform equally to a packaged product through
traditional mechanical reliability tests. CSP reliability is
integrally linked to the user’s assembly methods, circuit
board material, and usage environment. The user should
closely review these areas when considering use of a CSP
package. Performance through Operating Life Test and
Moisture Resistance remains uncompromised as it is primarily determined by the wafer-fabrication process.
Mechanical stress performance is a greater consideration
for a CSP package. CSPs are attached through direct solder contact to the user’s PC board, foregoing the inherent
stress relief of a packaged product lead frame. Solder
joint contact integrity must be considered. Table 2 shows
the testing done to characterize the CSP reliability performance. In conclusion, the UCSP is capable of performing
reliably through environmental stresses as indicated by
the results in the table. Additional usage data and recommendations are detailed in the UCSP application note,

Users should also be aware that, as with any interconnect
system, there are electromigration-based current limits
that, in this case, apply to the maximum allowable current
in the bumps. Reliability is a function of this current, the
duty cycle, lifetime, and bump temperature. See the
Absolute Maximum Ratings section for any specific limitations, listed under Continuous Operating Lifetime.
