Dual, SiGe, High-Linearity, 1700MHz to 2200MHz
Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer/Switch
General Description
The MAX19995A dual-channel downconverter is
designed to provide 8.7dB of conversion gain,
+24.8dBm input IP3, +13.5dBm 1dB input compression
point, and a noise figure of 9.2dB for 1700MHz to
2200MHz diversity receiver applications. With an opti-
mized LO frequency range of 1750MHz to 2700MHz, this
mixer is ideal for high-side LO injection architectures.
Low-side LO injection is supported by the MAX19995,
which is pin-pin and functionally compatible with the
MAX19995A.
In addition to offering excellent linearity and noise per-
formance, the MAX19995A also yields a high level of
component integration. This device includes two double-
balanced passive mixer cores, two LO buffers, a dual-
input LO selectable switch, and a pair of differential IF
output amplifiers. Integrated on-chip baluns allow for sin-
gle-ended RF and LO inputs. The MAX19995A requires a
nominal LO drive of 0dBm and a typical supply current of
350mA at V_CC = 5.0V, or 242mA at V_CC = 3.3V.
The MAX19995/MAX19995A are pin compatible with the
MAX19985/MAX19985A series of 700MHz to 1000MHz
mixers and pin similar to the MAX19997A/MAX19999
series of 1800MHz to 4000MHz mixers, making this
entire family of downconverters ideal for applications
where a common PCB layout is used across multiple
frequency bands.
The MAX19995A is available in a 6mm x 6mm, 36-pin
thin QFN package with an exposed pad. Electrical per-
formance is guaranteed over the extended temperature
range (T_C = -40°C to +85°C).
