General Description
The MAX9982 fully integrated SiGe mixer is optimized to
meet the demanding requirements of GSM850, GSM900,
and CDMA850 base-station receivers. Each high-lineari-
ty device includes a local oscillator (LO) switch, LO dri-
ver, and active mixer. On-chip baluns are also integrated
to allow for single-ended RF and LO inputs. Since the
active mixer provides 2dB of conversion gain, the device
effectively replaces the IF amplifier stage, which typically
follows most passive mixer implementations.
The MAX9982 provides exceptional linearity with an
input IP3 of greater than +26dBm. The integrated LO
driver allows for a wide range of LO drive levels from
-5dBm to +5dBm. In addition, the built-in switch
enables rapid LO selection of less than 250ns, as need-
ed for GSM frequency-hopping applications.
The MAX9982 is available in a 20-pin QFN package
(5mm ✕ 5mm) with an exposed paddle and is specified
over the -40°C to +85°C extended temperature range.
