_________________General Description
The MAX2620 combines a low-noise oscillator with two
output buffers in a low-cost, plastic surface-mount,
ultra-small µMAX package. This device integrates func-
tions typically achieved with discrete components. The
oscillator exhibits low-phase noise when properly
mated with an external varactor-tuned resonant tank
circuit. Two buffered outputs are provided for driving
mixers or prescalers. The buffers provide load isolation
to the oscillator and prevent frequency pulling due to
load-impedance changes. Power consumption is typi-
cally just 27mW in operating mode (V
CC
= 3.0V), and
drops to less than 0.3µW in standby mode. The MAX2620
operates from a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to

Note 2: Guaranteed by design and characterization at 10MHz, 650MHz, 900MHz, and 1050MHz. Over this frequency range, the
magnitude of the negative real impedance measured at TANK is greater than one-tenth the magnitude of the reactive
impedances at TANK. This implies proper oscillator start-up when using an external resonator tank circuit with Q > 10. C3
and C4 must be tuned for operation at the desired frequency.
