MAX2685EEE+T

P1-P3P4-P6P7-P9P10-P10
General Description
The MAX2685’s low-noise amplifier (LNA) and down-
converter mixer comprise the major blocks of an RF
front-end receiver. Optimized for 900MHz operation,
the device’s low noise figure, high gain, and high linear-
ity make it ideal for cellular, cordless, and wireless data
applications. A low supply current of 8.5mA (high-gain
mode) and 3.8mA (low-gain mode) plus a low operating
supply voltage range of +2.7V to +5.5V make it suitable
for use in 3-cell NiCd or 1-cell lithium-ion (Li+) battery
applications. A low-power shutdown mode further
extends battery life by reducing supply current below
0.1µA.
The MAX2685 includes an LNA, LNA bypass switch,
downconverter mixer, and local-oscillator (LO) buffer.
The LNA has a low noise figure of 1.4dB, a high gain of
15dB, and an input third-order intercept point (IP3) of
-4dBm. The mixer has a noise figure of 13dB, a gain of
6dB, and an input IP3 of +7dBm. In addition, an LNA
bypass switch allows two levels of gain, reducing
power consumption when high gain is not needed.
The downconverter mixer has a single-ended RF input
port and differential IF output ports. Differential opera-
tion of the IF ports offers improved even-order harmonic
rejection and increased immunity to noise. An LO buffer
allows the LO port to be driven with only -8dBm of LO
power. The MAX2685 is offered in a space-saving 16-
pin QSOP package.
