Applications Information
The LNA and mixer inputs require careful consideration
in matching to 50I lines. Proper supply bypassing,
grounding, and layout are required for reliable perfor-
mance from any RF circuit.
Layout Issues
The MAX2769B EV kit can be used as a starting point
for layout. For best performance, take into consideration
grounding and routing of RF, baseband, and power-
supply PCB proper line. Make connections from vias
to the ground plane as short as possible. On the high-
impedance ports, keep traces short to minimize shunt
capacitance. EV kit Gerber files can be requested at
Power-Supply Layout
To minimize coupling between different sections of the
IC, a star power-supply routing configuration with a large
decoupling capacitor at a central V
CC_
node is recom-
mended. The V
CC_
traces branch out from this node,
each going to a separate V
CC_
node in the circuit. Place
a bypass capacitor as close as possible to each supply
pin This arrangement provides local decoupling at each
V
CC_
pin. Use at least one via per bypass capacitor for
a low-inductance ground connection. Do not share the
capacitor ground vias with any other branch.
