The MAX9996 high-linearity downconversion mixer provides
8.3dB gain, +26.5dBm IIP3, and 9.7dB NF for
1700MHz to 2200MHz UMTS/W-CDMA, DCS, and PCS
base-station receiver applications. With a 1900MHz to
2400MHz LO frequency range, this particular mixer is
ideal for high-side LO injection receiver architectures.
Low-side LO injection is supported by the MAX9994,
which is pin-for-pin and functionally compatible with the
MAX9996.
In addition to offering excellent linearity and noise performance,
the MAX9996 also yields a high level of component
integration. This device includes a double-balanced
passive mixer core, an IF amplifier, a dual-input
LO selectable switch, and an LO buffer. On-chip
baluns are also integrated to allow for single-ended RF
and LO inputs. The MAX9996 requires a nominal LO
drive of 0dBm, and supply current is guaranteed to be
below 240mA.
The MAX9994/MAX9996 are pin compatible with the
MAX9984/MAX9986 815MHz to 995MHz mixers, making
this entire family of downconverters ideal for applications
where a common PC board layout is used for
both frequency bands. The MAX9996 is also functionally
compatible with the MAX9993.
The MAX9996 is available in a compact, 20-pin, TQFN package (5mm x 5mm) with an exposed paddle.
Electrical performance is guaranteed over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
