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 control (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.
