MAX2057
The MAX2057 general-purpose, high-performance vari-
able-gain amplifier (VGA) is designed to operate in the
1300MHz to 2700MHz frequency range*. This device
features 15.5dB of gain, 6dB of noise figure, and an out-
put 1dB compression point of 23.8dBm. The MAX2057
also provides an exceptionally high OIP3 level of
37dBm, which is maintained over the entire attenuation
range. In addition, the on-chip analog attenuators yield
infinite control and high attenuation accuracy over
selectable 21dB or 42dB control ranges. Each of these
features makes the MAX2057 an ideal VGA for
DCS/PCS, cdma2000™, W-CDMA, and PHS/PAS trans-
mitter and power amplifier AGC circuits.
The MAX2057 is pin compatible with the MAX2056
800MHz to 1000MHz VGA, making this family of ampli-
fiers ideal for applications where a common PC board
layout is used for both frequency bands.
The MAX2057 operates from a single +5V supply and is
available in a compact 36-pin thin QFN package (6mm
x 6mm x 0.8mm) with an exposed pad. Electrical per-
formance is guaranteed over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.

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.

Note 1:
Total supply current reduces as R
1
and R
2
are increased.
Note 2:
Operating outside this range for extended periods may affect device reliability. Limit pin input current to 40mA when V
CC
is not present.
Note 3:
Operation outside this range is possible, but with degraded performance of some parameters.
Note 4:
All limits include external component losses, unless otherwise noted.
Note 5:
Noise figure increases by approximately 1dB for every 1dB of gain reduction.
Note 6:
f
1
= 2100MHz, f
2
= 2101MHz, +5dBm/tone at OUT.
Note 7:
Switching time is measured from 50% of the control signal to when the RF output settles to ±1dB.
