MAX2092
700MHz to 2700MHz Analog VGA with Threshold
Alarm Circuit and Error Amplifier for Level Control
General Description
The MAX2092 high-linearity analog variable-gain amplifier
(VGA) is a monolithic SiGe BiCMOS attenuator/amplifier/
error amplifier with an alarm circuit designed to interface
with 50I systems operating in the 700MHz to 2700MHz
frequency range. The device features a gain range of
+18.1dB to -22.3dB, a noise figure of 5.2dB, OIP3 linear-
ity of +32.5dBm, and a wide RF bandwidth. Each of these
features makes the device an ideal VGA for numerous
receiver and transmitter applications. When paired with
the MAX2091 or MAX2091B variable gain upconverter, a
complete 2-chip IF-RF signal conditioning solution is pos-
sible for microwave point-to-point transmitters.
The MAX2092 operates from a single +5V supply, and
is available in a compact 20-pin TQFN package (5mm
x 5mm) with an exposed pad. Electrical performance is
guaranteed over the extended temperature range from
T
C
= -40NC to +95NC.

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.
