Quadrature Demodulator
_______________General Description
The monolithic MAX2451 is a quadrature demodulator
with a supporting oscillator and divide-by-8 prescaler. It
operates from a single +3V supply and draws only
5.5mA. The demodulator accepts an amplified and filtered IF signal in the 35MHz to 80MHz range, and
demodulates it into I and Q baseband signals with
51dB of voltage conversion gain. The IF input is terminated with a 400Ω thin-film resistor for matching to an
external IF filter. The baseband outputs are fully differential and have 1.2Vp-p signal swings.
Pulling the CMOS-compatible ENABLE pin low shuts
down the MAX2451 and reduces the supply current to
less than 2µA, typical. To minimize spurious feedback,
the MAX2451’s internal oscillator is set at twice the IF
frequency via external tuning components. The
MAX2451 comes in a 16-pin narrow SO package.

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.
