General Description
The MAX19995 dual-channel downconverter provides
up to 9dB of conversion gain, +24.8dBm input IP3,
+13.3dBm 1dB input compression point, and a noise
figure as low as 9dB for 1700MHz to 2200MHz diversity
receiver applications. With an optimized LO frequency
range of 1400MHz to 2000MHz, this mixer is ideal for
low-side LO injection architectures. High-side LO injec-
tion is supported by the MAX19995A, which is pin-pin
and functionally compatible with the MAX19995.
In addition to offering excellent linearity and noise per-
formance, the MAX19995 also yields a high level of
component integration. This device includes two dou-
ble-balanced passive mixer cores, two LO buffers, a
dual-input LO selectable switch, and a pair of differen-
tial IF output amplifiers. Integrated on-chip baluns allow
for single-ended RF and LO inputs.
The MAX19995 requires a nominal LO drive of 0dBm
and a typical supply current of 297mA at V
CC
= 5.0V or
212mA at V
CC
= 3.3V.
The MAX19995/MAX19995A are pin compatible with
the MAX19985/MAX19985A series of 700MHz to
1000MHz mixers and pin similar with 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 MAX19995 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, from T
C
= -40°C to +85°C.
