Maxim MAX19997A Dual, sige high-linearity, 1800mhz to 2900mhz downconversion mixer with lo buffer Datasheet

19-4288; Rev 2; 2/11
Dual, SiGe High-Linearity, 1800MHz to 2900MHz
Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer
The MAX19997A dual downconversion mixer is a versatile, highly integrated diversity downconverter that provides high linearity and low noise figure for a multitude of
1800MHz to 2900MHz base-station applications. The
MAX19997A fully supports both low- and high-side LO
injection architectures for the 2300MHz to 2900MHz
WiMAX™, LTE, WCS, and MMDS bands, providing
8.7dB gain, +24dBm input IP3, and 10.3dB NF in the
low-side configuration, and 8.7dB gain, +24dBm input
IP3, and 10.4dB NF in the high-side configuration. Highside LO injection architectures can be further extended
down to 1800MHz with the addition of one tuning element (a shunt inductor) on each RF port.
The device integrates baluns in the RF and LO ports,
an LO buffer, two double-balanced mixers, and a pair
of differential IF output amplifiers. The MAX19997A
requires a typical LO drive of 0dBm and a supply current guaranteed below 420mA to achieve the targeted
linearity performance.
The MAX19997A is available in a compact 6mm x 6mm,
36-pin thin QFN lead-free package with an exposed
pad. Electrical performance is guaranteed over the
extended temperature range, from TC = -40°C to +85°C.

Junction-to-Case Thermal Resistance (θJC)
(Notes 1, 3)..................................................................7.4°C/W
Note 1: Based on junction temperature TJ = TC + (θJC x VCC x 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 TJ = TA + (θJA x VCC x 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 fourlayer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Note 4: TC is the temperature on the exposed pad of the package. TA is the ambient temperature of the device and PCB.
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.

Operation outside this range is possible, but with degraded performance of some parameters. See the Typical Operating
Characteristics.
Note 6: Not production tested.
Note 7: All limits reflect losses of external components, including a 0.8dB loss at fIF = 350MHz due to the 4:1 impedance transformer. Output measurements taken at the IF outputs of Typical Application Circuit.
Note 8: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 9: 100% production tested for functional performance.
Note 10: RF frequencies below 2400MHz require external RF tuning similar to components listed in Table 2.
Note 11: Maximum reliable continuous input power applied to the RF or IF port of this device is +12dBm from a 50Ω source.
Note 12: Measured with external LO source noise filtered so the noise floor is -174dBm/Hz. This specification reflects the effects of
all SNR degradations in the mixer, including the LO noise as defined in Application Note 2021: Specifications and
Measurement of Local Oscillator Noise in Integrated Circuit Base Station Mixers.

Detailed Description
The MAX19997A dual, downconversion mixer provides
high linearity and low noise figure for a multitude of
1800MHz to 2900MHz base-station applications. The
device fully supports both low-side and high-side LO
injection architectures for the 2300MHz to 2900MHz
WiMAX, LTE, WCS, and MMDS bands. WCDMA,
cdma2000, and PCS1900 applications utilizing highside LO injection architectures are also supported by
adding one additional tuning element (a shunt inductor)
on each RF port.
The MAX19997A operates over an LO range of
1950MHz to 3400MHz and an IF range of 50MHz to
550MHz. Integrated baluns and matching circuitry allow
50Ω single-ended interfaces to the RF and LO ports.
The integrated LO buffer provides a high drive level to
the mixer core, reducing the LO drive required at the
MAX19997A’s input to a range of -3dBm to +3dBm. The
IF port incorporates a differential output, which is ideal
for providing enhanced 2RF - 2LO (low-side injection)
and 2LO - 2RF (high-side injection) performance.
RF Input and Balun
The MAX19997A’s two RF inputs (RFMAIN and RFDIV)
provide a 50Ω match when combined with a series DCblocking capacitor. This DC-blocking capacitor is
required as the input is internally DC shorted to ground
through each channel’s on-chip balun. When using a
22pF DC-blocking capacitor, the RF port input return
loss is typically 15dB over the RF frequency range of
2600MHz to 2900MHz.

Pin Description
MAX19997A
Dual, SiGe High-Linearity, 1800MHz to 2900MHz
Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer
The MAX19997A’s RF range can be further extended
down to 1800MHz by adding one additional tuning element on each RF port. For 1950MHz RF applications,
connect a 12nH shunt inductor from pins 1 and 9 to
ground. Also, change the value of the DC-blocking
capacitors (C1 and C8) from 22pF to 1pF. See the
Typical Application Circuit for details.
LO Input, Buffer, and Balun
A two-stage internal LO buffer allows a wide input
power range for the LO drive. All guaranteed specifications are for an LO signal power from -3dBm to +3dBm.
The on-chip low-loss balun, along with an LO buffer,
drives the double-balanced mixer. All interfacing and
matching components from the LO input to the IF outputs are integrated on-chip.
Applications Information
Input and Output Matching
The RF and LO inputs are internally matched to 50Ω. No
matching components are required for RF frequencies
ranging from 2400MHz to 2900MHz. RF and LO inputs
require only DC-blocking capacitors for interfacing.
If desired, the RF band can be extended down to
1800MHz by adding two external matching components on each RF port. See the Typical Application
Circuit and Table 2 for details.
The IF output impedance is 200Ω (differential). For
evaluation, an external low-loss 4:1 (impedance ratio)
balun transforms this impedance down to a 50Ω singleended output (see the Typical Application Circuit).
High-Linearity Mixer
Reduced-Power Mode
The core of the MAX19997A is a pair of doublebalanced, high-performance passive mixers.
Exceptional linearity is provided by the large LO swing
from the on-chip LO buffer. When combined with the
integrated IF amplifiers, the cascaded IIP3, 2RF-2LO
rejection, and NF performance are typically +24dBm
IIP3, -67dBc, and 10.3dB, respectively for low-side LO
injection architectures covering the 2300MHz to
2900MHz band. Cascaded performance levels are
comparable for high-side LO injection architectures;
IIP3, 2LO - 2RF rejection, and NF levels are typically
rated at +24dBm IIP3, -73dBc, and 10.4dB, respectively over the same 2300MHz to 2900MHz band.
Each channel of the MAX19997A has two pins
(LO_ADJ_ _, IF_ _SET) that allow external resistors to set
the internal bias currents. Nominal values for these
resistors are shown in Tables 1 and 2. Larger-value
resistors can be used to reduce power dissipation at the
expense of some performance loss. If ±1% resistors are
not readily available, ±5% resistors may be substituted.
Significant reductions in power consumption can be
realized by operating the mixer with an optional supply
voltage of +3.3V. Doing so reduces the overall power
consumption by up to 53%. See the +3.3V Supply,
Low-Side LO Injection AC Electrical Characteristics
table and the relevant +3.3V curves in the Typical
Operating Characteristics section to evaluate the power
vs. performance tradeoffs.
Differential IF Output Amplifier
The MAX19997A mixers have an IF frequency range of
50MHz to 550MHz. The differential, open-collector IF
output ports require external pullup inductors to VCC.
These pullup inductors are also used to resonate out the
parasitic shunt capacitance of the IC, PCB components,
and PCB to provide an optimized IF match at the frequency of interest. Note that differential IF outputs are
ideal for providing enhanced 2RF - 2LO and 2LO - 2RF
rejection performance. Single-ended IF applications
require a 4:1 balun to transform the 200Ω differential
output impedance to a 50Ω single-ended output. After
the balun, voltage standing-wave ratio (VSWR) is typically 1.2:1.

Layout Considerations
A properly designed PCB is an essential part of any
RF/microwave circuit. Keep RF signal lines as short as
possible to reduce losses, radiation, and inductance.
For the best performance, route the ground pin traces
directly to the exposed pad under the package.
The PCB exposed pad MUST be connected to the
ground plane of the PCB. It is suggested that multiple
vias be used to connect this pad to the lower-level
ground planes. This method provides a good RF/thermal-conduction path for the device. Solder the exposed
pad on the bottom of the device package to the PCB.
The MAX19997A evaluation kit can be used as a reference for board layout. Gerber files are available upon
request at www.maxim-ic.com.

Exposed Pad RF/Thermal Considerations
The exposed pad (EP) of the MAX19997A’s 36-pin thin
QFN-EP package provides a low thermal-resistance
path to the die. It is important that the PCB on which the
MAX19997A is mounted be designed to conduct heat
from the EP. In addition, provide the EP with a lowinductance path to electrical ground. The EP MUST be
soldered to a ground plane on the PCB, either directly
or through an array of plated via holes.
