Rainbow Electronics MAX19997A - Manual

General Description
The MAX19997A dual downconversion mixer is a versa-
tile, highly integrated diversity downconverter that pro-
vides high linearity and low noise figure for a multitude of
1800MHz to 2900MHz base-station applications. The
MAX19997A fully supports both low- and high-side LO
injection architectures for the 2300MHz to 2900MHz
WiMAX™, LTE, WCS, and MMDS bands, providing
8.7dB gain, +24dBm input IP3, and 10.3dB NF in the
low-side configuration, and 8.7dB gain, +24dBm input
IP3, and 10.4dB NF in the high-side configuration. High-
side LO injection architectures can be further extended
down to 1800MHz with the addition of one tuning ele-
ment (a shunt inductor) on each RF port.
The device integrates baluns in the RF and LO ports,
an LO buffer, two double-balanced mixers, and a pair
of differential IF output amplifiers. The MAX19997A
requires a typical LO drive of 0dBm and a supply cur-
rent guaranteed below 420mA to achieve the targeted
linearity performance.
The MAX19997A is available in a compact 6mm x 6mm,
36-pin thin QFN lead-free package with an exposed
pad. Electrical performance is guaranteed over the
extended temperature range, from T
C = -40°C to +85°C.
