EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE
General Description
The MAX2659 high-gain, low-noise amplifier (LNA) is
designed for GPS, Galileo, and GLONASS applications.
Designed in Maxim’s advanced SiGe process, the
device achieves a 20.5dB gain and an ultra-low-noise
figure of 0.8dB while maximizing the input-referred 1dB
compression point and the 3rd-order intercept point at
-12dBm and -5dBm, respectively.
The MAX2659 operates from a +1.6V to +3.6V single
supply and consumes only 4.1mA. The shutdown fea-
ture in the device reduces the supply current to be less
than 1µA. The MAX2659 is available in a very small,
lead-free, RoHS-compliant, 1.5mm x 1.0mm x 0.75mm,
6-pin µDFN package.Applications

Detailed Description
The MAX2659 is an LNA designed for GPS L1,
GALILEO, and GLONASS applications. The device fea-
tures a power-shutdown control mode to eliminate the
need for an external supply switch. The device
achieves a 20.5dB gain and an ultra-low-noise figure of
0.8dB. The MAX2659 consumes approximately 4.1mA
while providing a IP1dBof -12dBm and an IIP3 of -5dBm.
Input and Output Matching
The MAX2659 requires an off-chip input matching. Only
a 6.8nH inductor in series with a DC-blocking capacitor
is needed to form the input matching circuit. The
Typical Application Circuitdiagram shows the recom-
mended input-matching network. These values are
optimized for the best simultaneous gain, noise figure,
and return loss performance. Table 1 lists typical
device S11 values. The MAX2659 integrates an on-chip
output matching to 50Ωat the output, eliminating the
need for external matching components.
Shutdown
The MAX2659 includes a shutdown feature to turn off
the entire chip. Apply a logic high to SHDNpin to place
the part in the active mode and a logic low to place the
part in the shutdown mode.
Applications Information
A properly designed PC board (PCB) is essential to any
RF microwave circuit. Use controlled-impedance lines
on all high-frequency inputs and outputs. Bypass VCC
with decoupling capacitors located close to the device.
For long VCClines, it may be necessary to add decou-
pling capacitors. Locate these additional capacitors
further away from the device package. Proper ground-
ing of the GND pins is essential. If the PCB uses a top-
side RF ground, connect it directly to the GND pins. For
a board where the ground is not on the component
layer, connect the GND pins to the board with multiple
vias close to the package.
