The MAX2642/MAX2643 low-cost, high third-order intercept point (IP3), low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) are designed for applications in cellular, ISM, SMR, and PMR systems. They feature a programmable bias, allowing the IP3 and supply current to be optimized for specific applications. These LNAs provide up to 0dBm input IP3 while maintaining a low noise figure of 1.3dB. The gain for these devices is typically 17dB. The MAX2642 also features a 13dB attenuation step, which extends the LNA's dynamic range. Both devices feature a shutdown mode that minimizes power consumption. On-chip output matching saves board space by reducing the number of external components.
