Tiny Low-Noise Amplifiers for HSPA/LTE
General Description
The MAX2666/MAX2668 are a family of low-noise ampli-
fiers (LNAs) intended for use in HSPA mobile handsets.
The LNAs provide three programmable gain states,
delivering superior optimization for linearity and sensitiv-
ity versus traditional two-gain-state LNAs.
The MAX2666 is optimized for use over the 2100MHz
to 2200MHz frequency range (bands 1, 4, and 10) and
offers a typical maximum gain of 14.5dB.
The MAX2668 is optimized for use over the 850MHz to
1000MHz frequency range (bands 5, 6, and 8) and pro-
vides a typical maximum gain of 17dB.
Each device is available in a tiny 1mm x 1.5mm, 6-pin
ultra-thin LGA package.
