Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a 4-layer
board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these
or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

FUNCTION
Ground. Use minimum path to ground plane to minimize inductance.
Shutdown Input. A logic-level high enables the LNA, and a logic-level low disables the LNA.
RF Input. Requires an inductor to match the input for best noise figure and return loss. A DC-blocking
capacitor is required if the RFIN input will see a DC voltage or ground. See the
Functional Diagram/
Typical Operating Circuit.
Supply Voltage. Bypass to ground with a 0.01µF capacitor as close as possible to the pin.
RF Output. Internally matched to 50Ω and incorporates an internal DC-blocking capacitor.

Detailed Description
Input Matching
The MAX2634 LNA with low-power shutdown mode is
optimized for 308MHz, 315MHz, 418MHz, and 433MHz
automotive RKE applications, which are required to
operate over the -40°C to +125°C automotive tempera-
ture range. The device reduces component count by
integrating the output matching and DC-blocking com-
ponents, and only requires a single inductor to match
the input for best noise figure and input return loss. An
