MAX9996 Datasheet | Maxim Integrated

Description The MAX9996 high-linearity downconversion mixer provides 8.3d B gain, +26.5d Bm IIP3, and 9.7d B NF for 1700MHz to 2200MHz UMTS/WCDMA, 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 patible with the MAX9996. In addition to offering excellent linearity and noise performance, the MAX9996 also yields a high level of ponent integration. This device includes a doublebalanced passive mixer core, an IF amplifier, a dualinput 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 0d Bm, and supply current is guaranteed to be below 240m A. The MAX9994/MAX9996 are pin patible with the MAX9984/MAX9986 815MHz to 995MHz mixers, making this entire family of downconverters ideal for applications where a mon PC board layout is used for both frequency bands. The MAX9996 is also functionally patible with the MAX9993. The MAX9996 is available in a pact, 20-pin, thin QFN package (5mm x 5mm) with an exposed paddle. Electrical performance is guaranteed over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.
