Determining AGC Gain Setpoint
When the MAX2771 PGA gain is determined by the AGC,
the user may wish to know what the actual gain value
determined by the AGC is. This is not directly readable
through a SPI register. However, it can be determined
indirectly through the following method. Bypass the on-
chip ADCs, and measure the noise power or noise power
density at the analog monitoring output. Say it is -68.5dBm/
Hz for example. Then switch the AGC to fixed mode where
the PGA gain is determined by the value programmed into
the register. Remeasure the noise power density. Say it
is -63.3dBm/Hz. Then take the difference between these
two readings, rounding off to the nearest dB, and compare
to the 58dB setting of the PGA. In this example, the delta
between the two readings (rounded off) is 5dB, so we know
the set point must be 58 – 5 = 53dB.
PCB Layout Considerations
The MAX2771 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 lines. 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 are available on the MAX2771 product page
of the Maxim Integrated website.
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 VCC_ node is recom-
mended. The VCC_ traces branch out from this node,
each going to a separate VCC_ node in the circuit. Place
a bypass capacitor as close as possible to each supply
pin. This arrangement provides local decoupling at each
VCC_ 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. Refer to the
application note General Layout Guidelines for RF and
Mixed-Signal PCBs, available on the MAX2771 product
page for more information.
