Product Details
Each IC completely eliminates the need for external SAW filters by implementing on-chip monolithic filters for both the receiver and transmitter. The baseband filtering and the Rx/Tx signal paths are optimized to meet the 802.11a and 802.11g IEEE® standards. Each device is suitable for the full range of the corresponding 802.11a/g OFDM data rates (6Mbps, 9Mbps, 12Mbps, 18Mbps, 24Mbps, 36Mbps, 48Mbps, and 54Mbps) and 802.11g QPSK data rates (1Mbps, 2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, and 11Mbps), at the required sensitivity levels. The MAX2825/MAX2826/MAX2827 transceivers are available in the small 56-pin, exposed paddle thin QFN package.
