MAX7480ESA+

The MAX7480ESA+ is a high-performance frequency discriminator for active filters applications. It provides an optimal balance between performance, versatility and power consumption. This device offers an ultra-wide frequency range with superior sensitivity and dynamic range.

The MAX7480ESA+ employs a single-ended frequency discriminator architecture to provide a high-performance solution for filtering applications, such as RF signal processing, frequency measurement, and data acquisition applications. The device operates from a single supply voltage, and can accept input signals with frequencies up to 20MHz.

The main features of this device include low-distortion signal processing, low noise, fast response times, excellent linearity, and wide signal range. In addition, the MAX7480ESA+ supports multiple operating modes, such as signal-switching, multiple data formats, and programmable parameters for flexibility. It also includes an integrated power-saving feature, which can reduce power consumption by up to 40%.

The MAX7480ESA+ works by a differential frequency discriminator. This circuit uses two input signals that have slightly different frequencies that match the center frequency of the filter. The two signals are then combined in the filter and converted to a single frequency. The output of the filter is filtered and then sent to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for conversion. The output of the DAC is then sent to the analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for conversion back to the original signal.

The MAX7480ESA+ has a variety of applications, including portable and stationary amplifiers, audio signal processing, frequency synthesizers, and other high-frequency signal processing applications. It can be used to convert high-frequency signals into lower-frequency signals, and is especially useful in applications that require high dynamic range and low distortion. It is also suitable for applications requiring low noise and fast response times, such as data acquisition systems, telecommunications systems, and medical instruments.

In summary, the MAX7480ESA+ is a high-performance frequency discriminator for active filter applications. It provides an optimal balance between performance, versatility and power consumption, making it ideal for a variety of frequency processing applications. It is capable of handling high-frequency inputs, and its ability to reduce power consumption makes it a great choice for portable and stationary amplifiers, audio signal processing applications, and other high-frequency signal processing applications.
