The MAX9987 and MAX9988 LO buffers/splitters each
integrate a passive two-way power splitter with highisolation
input and output buffer amplifiers. These
buffers are designed to provide the high output
(+14dBm to +20dBm) necessary to drive the LO inputs
of high-linearity passive mixers, while offering 40dB
reverse isolation to prevent LO pulling. The MAX9987 is
internally matched for the cellular/GSM bands, and the
MAX9988 is matched for the DCS/PCS/UMTS bands.
The typical application circuit provides a nominal
+17dBm output power with ±1dB variation over supply,
temperature, and input power. With two optional resistors,
the output power can be precision set from
+14dBm to +20dBm. The devices offer more than 30dB
output-to-output port isolation, and are offered in 5mm x
5mm 20-pin thin QFN packages with exposed paddle.
