GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Its signal range is from -114dBm to 0dBm. The chip consists of a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a fully differential image-rejection mixer, an onchip phase-locked-loop (PLL) with integrated voltagecontrolled oscillator (VCO), a 10.7MHz IF limiting amplifier stage with received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI), and analog baseband data-recovery circuitry. The MAX1473 also has a discrete one-step automatic gain control (AGC) that drops the LNA gain by 35dB when the RF input signal is greater than -57dBm. The MAX1473 is available in 28-pin TSSOP and 32-pin thin QFN packages. Both versions are specified for the extended (-40°C to +85°C) temperature range. FEATURES
