General Description
The MAX2371/MAX2373 wideband low-noise amplifier
(LNA) ICs are designed for direct conversion receiver
(DCR) or very low intermediate frequency (VLIF) receiver
applications. They contain single-channel, single-ended
LNAs with switchable attenuator and automatic gain con-
trol (AGC) intended as a low-noise gain stage. These
devices provide high gain-control range (typically 60dB)
at radio frequency (RF) with excellent noise and reverse
isolation characteristics.
The MAX2371/MAX2373 can work over the frequency
range from 100MHz to 1GHz. In practice, only a narrow
band is needed in each application, so different matching
circuits can be applied. The devices are dynamically con-
figured through the digital/analog control pins to select
either maximum gain and low noise figure or power-saving
mode. In addition, the MAX2371/MAX2373 feature
high/low-current modes, high/low attenuation modes, lin-
early controlled gain states, and shutdown mode.

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.
