MAXIM MAX19995 Technical data

General Description

The MAX19995 dual-channel downconverter provides
9dB of conversion gain, +24.8dBm input IP3,
+13.3dBm 1dB input compression point, and a noise
figure as low as 9dB for 1700MHz to 2200MHz diversity
receiver applications. With an optimized LO frequency
range of 1400MHz to 2000MHz, this mixer is ideal for
low-side LO injection architectures. High-side LO injec­tion is supported by the MAX19995A, which is pin-pin
and functionally compatible with the MAX19995.

In addition to offering excellent linearity and noise per­formance, the MAX19995 also yields a high level of
component integration. This device includes two dou­ble-balanced passive mixer cores, two LO buffers, a
dual-input LO selectable switch, and a pair of differen­tial IF output amplifiers. Integrated on-chip baluns allow
for single-ended RF and LO inputs.

The MAX19995 requires a nominal LO drive of 0dBm
and a typical supply current of 297mA at VCC= 5.0V or
212mA at V

CC

= 3.3V.

The MAX19995/MAX19995A are pin compatible with
the MAX19985/MAX19985A series of 700MHz to
1000MHz mixers and pin similar with the MAX19997A/
MAX19999 series of 1800MHz to 4000MHz mixers,
making this entire family of downconverters ideal for
applications where a common PCB layout is used
across multiple frequency bands.

The MAX19995 is available in a 6mm x 6mm, 36-pin
thin QFN package with an exposed pad. Electrical per­formance is guaranteed over the extended temperature
range, from TC= -40°C to +85°C.

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.

Note 1: Based on junction temperature TJ= TC+ (θJCx VCCx ICC). This formula can be used when the temperature of the exposed

pad is known while the device is soldered down to a PCB. See the

Applications Information

section for details. The junction

temperature must not exceed +150°C.

Note 2: Junction temperature T

J

= TA+ (θJAx VCCx ICC). This formula can be used when the ambient temperature of the PCB is

known. The junction temperature must not exceed +150°C.

Note 3: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-

layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.

Note 4: TCis the temperature on the exposed pad of the package. TA is the ambient temperature of the device and PCB.
