(Typical Application Circuit, with tuning elements outlined in Table 1, R1 = 698ω, R2 = 604ω, V CC = 4.75V to 5.25V, RF and LO ports
are driven from 50I sources, P LO = -3dBm to +3dBm, P RF = -5dBm, f RF = 3100MHz to 3900MHz, f IF = 300MHz, f LO = 2800MHz to
3600MHz, f RF > f LO , T C = -40NC to +85NC. Typical values are for T C = +25NC, V CC = 5.0V, P RF = -5dBm, P LO = 0dBm, f RF = 3500MHz,
f LO = 3200MHz, f IF = 300MHz. All parameters are guaranteed by design and characterization, unless otherwise noted.) (Note 7)
