Analog Devices / Maxim Integrated MAX2679/MAX2679B GPS/GNSS Low-Noise Amplifiers

Analog Devices MAX2679/MAX2679B GPS/GNSS Ultra-Low Current Low-Noise Amplifiers provide high power gain and low noise figure while operating with excellent performance while consuming a low supply current. The devices maximize the input-referred 1dB compression point and the 3rd-order intercept point, permitting a high gain and low noise figure. Other features include a wide supply voltage range of 1.08V to 1.98V and a small, lead-free Wafer Level Package (WLP). The Analog Devices MAX2679/MAX2679B amplifiers are ideal for GPS L1, Galileo, and GLONASS applications.
