Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MAX3524 broadband amplifier is designed specifically for cable television receiver and cable modem applications. The MAX3524 is a single-ended input, differential- output low-noise amplifier (LNA) that offers 15dB of gain. It operates from a +4.75V to +5.25V single supply from 44MHz to 880MHz. The MAX3524 includes an operational amplifier that is used to control an off-chip PIN attenuator circuit at the input of the LNA. The attenuator is typically used to regulate the input signal to a value that maintains high linearity for large signals. The MAX3524 is available in a 10-pin  MAX package with an exposed paddle (EP) and operates in the extended temperature range (-40°C to +85°C).
