MAX2644:2.4GHz SiGe, High IP3 Low-Noise Amplifier

Industry's Smallest 2.4GHz LNA Provides Adjustable IP3 Control

The MAX2644 low-cost, high third-order intercept point (IP3) low-noise amplifier (LNA) is designed for applications in 2.4GHz WLAN, ISM, and Bluetooth® radio systems. It features a programmable bias, allowing the input IP3 and supply current to be optimized for specific applications. The LNA provides up to +1dBm input IP3 while maintaining a low noise figure of 2.0dB and a typical gain of 16dB. The MAX2644 is designed on a low-noise, advanced silicon-germanium (SiGe) technology. It operates with a +2.7V to +5.5V single supply and is available in an ultra-small 6-pin SC70 package.
