SiGe, High-Linearity, 2000MHz to 3900MHz Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer
Lowest Noise, Highest Linearity 2000MHz to 3900MHz SiGe Mixer for WCS, LTE, WiMAX, and MMDS Base Stations, Featuring Superior IP3, NF, and 2 x 2 Performance
The MAX19996A single, high-linearity downconversion mixer provides 8.7dB conversion gain, +24.5dBm IIP3, and 9.8dB noise figure for 2000MHz to 3900MHz WCS, LTE, WiMAX™, and MMDS wireless infrastructure applications. With an ultra-wide LO frequency range of 2100MHz to 4000MHz, the MAX19996A can be used in either low-side or high-side LO injection architectures for virtually all 2.5GHz and 3.5GHz applications. For a 2.5GHz variant tuned specifically for low-side injection, refer to the MAX19996 data sheet.
In addition to offering excellent linearity and noise performance, the MAX19996A also yields a high level of component integration. This device includes a double-balanced passive mixer core, an IF amplifier, and an LO buffer. On-chip baluns are also integrated to allow for single-ended RF and LO inputs. The MAX19996A requires a nominal LO drive of 0dBm, and supply current is typically 230mA at VCC = 5.0V, or 150mA at VCC = 3.3V.
The MAX19996A is pin compatible with the MAX19996 2000MHz to 3000MHz mixer. The device is also pin similar with the MAX9984/MAX9986/MAX9986A 400MHz to 1000MHz mixers and the MAX9993/MAX9994/MAX9996 1700MHz to 2200MHz mixers, making this entire family of downconverters ideal for applications where a common PCB layout is used for multiple frequency bands.
The MAX19996A is available in a compact 5mm x 5mm, 20-pin thin QFN with an exposed pad. Electrical performance is guaranteed over the extended -40°C to
+85°C temperature range.
