DescripTion
400MHz to 3.8GHz 3.3V
Active Downconverting Mixer
The LT
®
5557 active mixer is optimized for high linearity,
wide dynamic range downconverter applications. The
IC includes a high speed differential LO buffer amplifier
driving a double-balanced mixer. Broadband, integrated
transformers on the RF and LO inputs provide single-ended
50Ω interfaces. The differential IF output allows convenient
interfacing to differential IF filters and amplifiers, or is
easily matched to drive a single-ended 50Ω load, with or
without an external transformer.
The RF input is internally matched to 50Ω from 1.6GHz
to 2.3GHz, and the LO input is internally matched to 50Ω
from 1GHz to 5GHz. The frequency range of both ports
is easily extended with simple external matching. The IF
output is partially matched and usable for IF frequencies
up to 600MHz.
The LT5557’s high level of integration minimizes the total
solution cost, board space and system-level variation.
