GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The MAX9989 and MAX9990 LO buffers provide the high output (+14dBm to +20dBm) necessary to drive the LO inputs of high-linearity passive mixers, while offering 40dB reverse isolation to prevent LO pulling. The MAX9989 is internally matched for the cellular/GSM bands, and The devices offer more than 35dB main driver output to PLL amp output isolation. Each device is offered in a 5mm ✕ 5mm 20-pin thin QFN package with exposed paddle. o ±1dB Output Power Variation o +14dBm to +20dBm Adjustable Output Power o 40dB Reverse Isolation o Better Than 35dB Main Driver Output to PLL Amp Output Isolation o Low Output Noise: -170dBc/Hz at +17dBm o 110mA Supply Current at +17dBm o ESD Protection o Isolated PLL Output (+3dBm) FEATURES
