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.
