They contain single-channel, single-ended LNAs with switchable attenuator and automatic gain control (AGC) intended as a low-noise gain stage. These devices provide high gain-control range (typically 60dB) at radio frequency (RF) with excellent noise and reverse isolation characteristics. The MAX2371/MAX2373 can work over the frequency range from 100MHz to 1GHz. In practice, only a narrow band is needed in each application, so different matching circuits can be applied. The devices are dynamically configured through the digital/analog control pins to select either maximum gain and low noise figure or power-saving mode. In addition, the MAX2371/MAX2373 feature high/low-current modes, high/low attenuation modes, linearly controlled gain states, and shutdown mode.
