FUNCTION
Supply Voltage. Bypass to ground with a 10pF capacitor as close as possible to the IC.
RF Output/SHDN Input. RFOUT is internally matched to 50I and pulled up to V
CC
through a 1MI
resistor.
SHDN
is shared with the RFOUT bump. The devices are in active mode by default once
V
CC
is applied. RFOUT(SHDN) can be pulled to a DC low externally to shut down the IC.
RF Input. Requires a DC-blocking capacitor and external matching components.
Ground. Connect to the PCB ground plane.
Detailed Description
The MAX2686/MAX2688 are LNAs designed for GPS
L1, Galileo, and GLONASS applications. The devices
feature an optional power-shutdown control mode to
eliminate the need for an external supply switch. The
devices achieve high gain, ultra-low-noise figure, and
excellent linearity.
The devices require an off-chip input matching. Only
an inductor in series with a DC-blocking capacitor is
needed to form the input matching circuit. The
Typical
Application Circuit
shows the recommended input-
matching network. These values are optimized for the
best simultaneous gain, noise figure, and return loss
performance. The value of the input coupling capacitor
affects IIP3. A smaller coupling capacitor results in lower
IIP3. The devices integrate an on-chip output matching
to 50I at the output, eliminating the need for external
matching components. Tables 1 and 2 list typical device
S parameters and K
f
values. Typical noise parameters
are shown in Tables 3 and 4.
The devices include an optional shutdown feature to
turn off the entire chip. The devices are placed in active
mode by default once V
CC
is applied, due to the on-chip
pullup resistor to V
CC
at the RFOUT bump (shared with
the
SHDN
input). To shut down the part, apply a logic-
low to the RFOUT bump through an external resistor with
an adequate value, e.g., 25kI, in order not to load the
