________________General Description
____________________________Features
? 2.7V Operation
The MAX2323/MAX2325 are low-noise amplifier (LNA)
plus mixer ICs optimized for code-division multiple-access
(CDMA) applications in both cellular and PCS bands. The
MAX2323 addresses dual-band, triple-mode CDMA appli-
cations by providing switched signal paths for cellular FM,
cellular CDMA, and PCS CDMA. The MAX2325 is a cellu-
lar-band dual-mode version.
? Dual Band, Triple Mode
? Three LNA Gain Settings (Cellular)
? Two LNA Gain Settings (PCS)
? 18mA in Low-Gain Mode
19.5mA in Paging and Midgain Mode
26.5mA in High-Gain, High-Linearity Mode
To optimize cellular-band dynamic range at minimum cur-
rent, the MAX2323/MAX2325 implement four LNA states:
high gain/high linearity, high gain/low linearity, midgain,
and low gain. In high-gain/high-linearity mode, the
adjustable high-intercept LNA minimizes desensitization in
the presence of a large interfering signal. For the other
gain states, the LNA current is reduced to improve stand-
by time.
16.5mA in FM Mode, High-Gain, Low-Linearity
Mode
? 2.5dB (typ) Cascade Noise Figure
? Adjustable LNA IIP3, +5dBm to +13dBm
? Ultra-Small 28-Pin Package (5mm x 5mm)
The CDMA mixers are designed for high linearity, low
noise, and differential IF outputs, while the FM mixer is
designed for lower current and single-ended output. Each
band is implemented with a separate mixer to optimize
performance for the specific band.
