♦ 7.6dBm Input Third-Order Intercept Point
The IF port is differential, which provides good linearity
and low LO emissions, as well as providing compatibility with applications using differential IF filters, such as
CDMA cellular phones. The mixer noise figure is 10dB
at 900MHz.
The MAX2690 draws 16mA at VCC = 3V and operates
from a +2.7V to +5.5V supply. A logic-controlled shutdown mode reduces the supply current to less than 1µA,
making it ideal for battery-operated equipment. This
device is offered in a miniature 10-pin µMAX package.

MAX2690
_______________General Description
The MAX2690 is a miniature, low-noise, low-power
downconverter mixer designed for use in portable consumer equipment. Signals at the RF input port are
mixed with signals at the local-oscillator (LO) port using
a double-balanced mixer. The RF port frequency range
is 400MHz to 2500MHz. The LO port frequency range is
700MHz to 2500MHz. The IF frequency range is 10MHz
to 500MHz, provided the LO and RF frequencies are
chosen appropriately.

GND
RF Ground. This pin must have a separate via to the ground plane, as close to the pin as possible to
minimize inductance.

Information section for more information.
7
GNDLO
Ground for the LO Port. This pin must have its own via to the ground plane, as close as possible to the pin to
minimize inductance.
8
IFOUT-
Differential IF Inverting Output. IFOUT- is an open-collector output and must be pulled up to VCC with an
external inductor for proper biasing. A resistor in parallel with the inductor may also be used to set a terminating impedance. See the Typical Operating Characteristics section for a plot of IF port characteristics vs.
frequency (see plot titled Single-Ended IF Port Equivalent Shunt RC Network).
9
IFOUT+
Differential IF Noninverting Output. IFOUT+ is an open-collector output and must be pulled up to VCC with
an external inductor for proper biasing. A resistor in parallel with the inductor may also be used to set a terminating impedance. See the Typical Operating Characteristics section for a plot of IF port characteristics
vs. frequency (see plot titled Single-Ended IF Port Equivalent Shunt RC Network).
10
SHDN
Active-Low Shutdown Input. A digital logic-low level at SHDN deactivates all part functions and reduces the
supply current to typically 0.4µA.
RF Bypassing Capacitor Pin. Bypass RFBYP with an appropriate-value capacitor (typically 1000pF) to ground.
_______________Detailed Description
The MAX2690 is a 2.5GHz, double-balanced downconverter mixer designed to provide optimum intermodulation performance for a given supply current. It consists
of a double-balanced Gilbert-cell mixer with singleended RF and LO port connections, and a differential
IF port. An on-chip bias cell provides a low-power shutdown feature.
RF Input
The RFIN and RFBYP pins form the MAX2690’s RF
input. The single-ended RF input signal is applied to
the RFIN pin (refer to the RF Port Impedance vs.
Frequency graph in the Typical Operating Characteristics). The RFBYP pin should be AC grounded typically
with a 1000pF capacitor. This capacitor value should
present a low impedance at both the RF and IF
frequencies.
IF Output
The IFOUT+ and IFOUT- pins form the MAX2690’s differential open-collector IF output. The IF output is coupled to
the load using shunt inductors to VCC and series capacitors to the load. Most applications use a resistive termination of 500Ω (typical) resistors in parallel with the pull-up
inductors to set a terminating impedance. The part’s conversion gain has been specified with the resistors in place
(using the output network on the MAX2690 EV kit),
accounting for a 3dB loss due to the resistors. Therefore,
it is possible to achieve an increase in gain with a properly designed matching network. However, the resistors
provide for minimum passband ripple when this port is
connected to typical IF filters.
Bias
The bias cell includes compensation circuitry to minimize conversion-gain variations over temperature as
well as shutdown control circuitry. The SHDN pin can
be used to disable all functions and reduce supply current to typically 0.4µA.

plane. Low-inductance ground connections and controlled-impedance lines should be used in the layout.
Local-Oscillator (LO) Input
To minimize noise on the internal bias cell, SHDN
should be decoupled with a 1000pF capacitor to
ground. A series resistor (typically 100Ω) can also be
used to reduce high-frequency signals coupling into
the SHDN pin.
The LO input is a single-ended broadband 50Ω input with
a return loss of better than 10dB from 900MHz to 3GHz,
improving at high frequency. For lower-frequency LO
operation, a shunt resistor can be used to improve the LO
port match (see the Typical Operating Circuit for more
information). AC couple to LO. The LO signal is mixed
with the input RF signal, and the resulting downconverted
output appears on the IFOUT+ and IFOUT- pins.
RF Input
The typical RF input frequency range is 400MHz to
2.5GHz. For optimum performance, the RF input requires
an impedance-matching network. Consult Table 1 as well
as the RF Port Impedance vs. Frequency graph in the

IF Output
The IF output frequency range is typically 10MHz to
500MHz. The IFOUT+ and IFOUT- pins require external
inductors to VCC for proper biasing. These outputs are
high-impedance open collectors. In many applications,
the biasing inductors have resistors in parallel with
them to set an output impedance. Alternatively, a resistor between IFOUT+ and IFOUT- may be used. Consult
the Typical Operating Characteristics section for more
information.
For single-ended operation, the IFOUT- pin can be tied
directly to VCC.
Power Supply and Bypassing
Proper attention to supply bypassing is essential for a
high-frequency RF circuit. VCC (pin 5) must be properly
bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor in parallel with
1000pF to ground. Separate vias to the ground plane
are needed for each of the bypass capacitors, as well
as minimal trace length to reduce inductance. Each
ground pin should have a separate via to the ground
8
Inductive Degeneration Pin (LGND)
A series inductor is typically connected from LGND to
GND. Adjusting the value of this inductor allows the
MAX2690 to be set to the optimum gain and linearity
point for a particular application. A short from LGND to
ground provides maximum linearity. Increasing the inductor value trades off linearity for gain. A large inductor provides maximum gain. See the Typical Operating
Characteristics for a graph of conversion gain and linearity for several inductor values. The inductor’s self-resonant
frequency (SRF) should be as close as possible to or
above the desired RF frequency for optimal performance.
A well-designed PC board is an essential part of an RF
circuit. For best performance, pay attention to powersupply issues as well as the layout of the RFIN matching network.
Power-Supply Layout
To minimize coupling between different sections of the
IC, the ideal power-supply layout is a star configuration,
which has a large decoupling capacitor at a central
VCC node. The VCC traces branch out from this node,
each going to a separate VCC node in the MAX2690
circuit. At the end of each of these traces is a bypass
capacitor that is good at the RF frequency of interest.
This arrangement provides local decoupling at each
VCC pin. At high frequencies, any signal leaking out
one supply pin sees a relatively high impedance
(formed by the VCC trace inductance) to the central
VCC node, and an even higher impedance to any other
supply pin, as well as a low impedance to ground.
Matching-Network Layout
The layout of the RFIN matching network can be very
sensitive to parasitic circuit elements. To minimize parasitic inductance, keep all traces short, and place components as close to the chip as possible. To minimize
parasitic capacitance, a cut-out in the ground plane
(and any other planes) below the matching network
components can be used.
