General Description
The MAX9995 dual, high-linearity, downconversion
mixer provides 6.1dB gain, +25.6dBm IIP3, and 9.8dB
NF for WCDMA, TD-SCDMA, LTE, TD-LTE, and
GSM/EDGE base-station applications.
This device integrates baluns in the RF and LO ports, a
dual-input LO selectable switch, an LO buffer, two double-
balanced mixers, and a pair of differential IF output ampli-
fiers. The MAX9995 requires a typical LO drive of 0dBm
and supply current is guaranteed to be below 380mA.
These devices are available in a compact 36-pin TQFN
package (6mm × 6mm) with an exposed pad. Electrical
performance is guaranteed over the extended tempera-
ture range, from T
C
= -40°C to +100°C.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
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
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
