Detailed Description
The MAX2385/MAX2386 are ideal for CDMA + GPS
applications. These devices contain two LNA/mixer
pairs: one pair for CDMA operation and one pair for
GPS operation. The MAX2385/MAX2386 feature seven
modes of operation, including shutdown. Table 1
depicts each mode along with the corresponding LNA
and mixer configuration.
These devices are ideal for Japanese cdma2000 1x
applications. The RF frequency range is from 832MHz
to 870MHz, and the IF frequency range is from 70MHz
to 200MHz. In GPS mode, the RF frequency is
1575.42MHz. These devices can also be used for the
Korean/Chinese/U.S. 869MHz to 894MHz band.
CDMA LNA
The MAX2385/MAX2386 have four modes of CDMA
LNA operation: high gain, high linearity (HGHL); high
gain, low linearity (HGLL); midgain (MG); and low gain
(LG). The logic inputs MODE, G1, and G2 allow selec-
tion between these modes (Table 1). Use HGHL mode
when extra-high linearity is required for cross-modula-
tion suppression. When cross-modulation is not a con-
cern or the transmitter is off, use HGLL mode. In
MG mode, the device is designed to meet CDMA
linearity with interferers at -32dBm/tone. When
