General Description

The MAX2320/MAX2321/MAX2322/MAX2324/MAX2326/

MAX2327 high-performance silicon germanium (SiGe)

receiver front-end ICs set a new industry standard for

low noise and high linearity at a low supply current. This

family integrates a variety of unique features such as an

LO frequency doubler and divider, dual low-noise

amplifier (LNA) gain settings, and a low-current paging

mode that extends the handset standby time.

The MAX2320 family includes six ICs: four operate at

both cellular and PCS frequencies, one operates at cel-

lular frequencies, and one at PCS frequencies (see

Selector Guide). Each part includes an LNA with a high

input third-order intercept point (IIP3) to minimize inter-

modulation and cross-modulation in the presence of

large interfering signals. In low-gain mode, the LNA is

bypassed to provide higher cascaded IIP3 at a lower

current. For paging, a low-current, high-gain mode is

provided.

The CDMA mixers in cellular and PCS bands have high

linearity, low noise, and differential IF outputs. The FM

mixer is designed for lower current and a single-ended

output.

All devices come in a 20-pin TSSOP-EP package with

exposed paddle (EP) and are specified for the extend-

ed temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
