MAX2634
315MHz/433MHz Low-Noise
Amplifier for Automotive RKE
General Description
Features
● Optimized for 308MHz, 315MHz, 418MHz,
The MAX2634 low-noise amplifier (LNA) with low-power
shutdown mode is optimized for 315MHz and 433.92MHz
automotive remote keyless entry (RKE) applications. At
315MHz, the LNA achieves 15.5dB power gain and a
1.25dB noise figure while only consuming 2.5mA of
supply current from a 2.2V to 5.5V power supply. An
integrated logic-controlled low-power shutdown mode
reduces power consumption to 0.1µA and replaces the
two transistors typically required to implement the shut-
down function in discrete-based RKE LNA solutions. The
device further reduces component count by integrating
the output matching and DC-blocking components, and
only requires a single inductor to match the input for best
noise figure and input return loss.
