Adjustable, High-Linearity,
SiGe Dual-Band LNA/Mixer ICs
General Description
Features
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.
ꢀ Ultra-High Linearity at Ultra-Low Current and
Noise
ꢀ +2.7V to +3.6V Operation
ꢀ Pin-Selectable Low-Gain Mode Reduces Gain by
17dB and Current by 3mA
ꢀ Pin-Selectable Paging Mode Reduces Current
Draw by 6mA when Transmitter Is Not in Use
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.

ꢀ LO Frequency Doubler (MAX2321)
ꢀ LO Frequency Divider (MAX2326)
ꢀ 0.1µA Shutdown Current

Ordering Information
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.
