19-4293; Rev 0; 10/08 Dual, SiGe High-Linearity, 3000MHz to 4000MHz Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer The MAX19999 dual-channel downconverter provides 8.3dB of conversion gain, +24dBm input IP3, +11.4dBm 1dB input compression point, and a noise figure of 10.5dB for 3000MHz to 4000MHz WiMAXTM and LTE diversity receiver applications. With an optimized LO frequency range of 2650MHz to 3700MHz, this mixer is ideal for low-side LO injection architectures. In addition to offering excellent linearity and noise performance, the MAX19999 also yields a high level of component integration. This device includes two double-balanced passive mixer cores, two LO buffers, and a pair of differential IF output amplifiers. Integrated onchip baluns allow for single-ended RF and LO inputs. The MAX19999 requires a nominal LO drive of 0dBm and a typical supply current of 388mA at VCC = +5.0V or 279mA at VCC = +3.3V. The MAX19999 is pin compatible with the MAX19997A 1800MHz to 2900MHz mixer and pin similar with the MAX19985/MAX19985A and MAX19995/MAX19995A series of 700MHz to 2200MHz mixers, making this entire family of downconverters ideal for applications where a common PCB layout is used across multiple frequency bands. The MAX19999 is available in a compact 6mm x 6mm, 36-pin thin QFN package with an exposed pad. Electrical performance is guaranteed over the extended temperature range, from TC = -40C to +85C.

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 +150C. Note 2: Junction temperature TJ = TA + (JA x VCC x ICC). This formula can be used when the ambient temperature of the PCB is known. The junction temperature must not exceed +150C. 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. +5.0V SUPPLY DC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS (Typical Application Circuit, no input RF or LO signals applied, VCC = +4.75V to +5.25V, TC = -40C to +85C.

Detailed Description The MAX19999 provides high linearity and low noise figure for a multitude of 3000MHz to 4000MHz WiMAX and LTE base-station applications. This device operates over an LO range of 2650MHz to 3700MHz and an IF range of 50MHz to 500MHz. Integrated baluns and matching circuitry allow 50 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 MAX19999's input to a range of -3dBm to +3dBm. The IF port incorporates a differential output, which is ideal for providing enhanced 2RF-2LO performance. RF Input and Balun The MAX19999's two RF inputs (RFMAIN and RFDIV) provide a 50 match when combined with a series DCblocking capacitor. This DC-blocking capacitor is required because the input is internally DC shorted to ground through each channel's on-chip balun. When using a 1.5pF DC-blocking capacitor, the RF port input return loss is typically 15dB over the RF frequency range of 3200MHz to 3900MHz. 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. High-Linearity Mixer The core of the MAX19999 is a pair of double-balanced, high-performance passive mixers. Exceptional ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 MAX19999 Pin Description MAX19999 Dual, SiGe High-Linearity, 3000MHz to 4000MHz Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer linearity is provided by the large LO swing from the onchip LO buffer. When combined with the integrated IF amplifiers, the cascaded IIP3, 2RF-2LO rejection, and NF performance is typically +24dBm, 74dBc, and 10.5dB, respectively, for low-side LO injection architectures covering the 3000MHz to 4000MHz RF band. Differential IF Output Amplifier The MAX19999 mixers have an IF frequency range of 50MHz to 500MHz. 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 rejection performance. Single-ended IF applications require a 4:1 balun to transform the 200 differential output impedance to a 50 single-ended output. After the balun, the IF return loss is typically 18dB. Applications Information Input and Output Matching The RF and LO inputs are internally matched to 50. No matching components are required for RF frequencies ranging from 3000MHz to 4000MHz. RF and LO inputs require only DC-blocking capacitors for interfacing. The IF output impedance is 200 (differential). For evaluation, an external low-loss 4:1 (impedance ratio) balun transforms this impedance down to a 50 singleended output (see the Typical Application Circuit). Reduced-Power Mode Each channel of the MAX19999 has two pins (LO_ADJ_ _, IF_ _SET) that allow external resistors to set the internal bias currents. Nominal values for these resistors are given in Table 1. Larger valued resistors can be used to reduce power dissipation at the expense of some performance loss. If 1% resistors are not readily available, 5% resistors can be substituted. 16 Significant reductions in power consumption can also 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 AC Electrical Characteristics table and the relevant +3.3V curves in the Typical Operating Characteristics section to evaluate the power vs. performance trade-offs. 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 MAX19999 evaluation kit can be used as a reference for board layout. Gerber files are available upon request at www.maxim-ic.com. Power-Supply Bypassing Proper voltage-supply bypassing is essential for highfrequency circuit stability. Bypass each VCC pin with the capacitors shown in the Typical Application Circuit. Exposed Pad RF/Thermal Considerations The exposed pad (EP) of the MAX19999'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 MAX19999 is mounted be designed to conduct heat from the exposed pad. In addition, provide the exposed pad with a low-inductance path to electrical ground. The exposed pad MUST be soldered to a ground plane on the PCB, either directly or through an array of plated via holes. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Dual, SiGe High-Linearity, 3000MHz to 4000MHz Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer DESIGNATION QTY DESCRIPTION SUPPLIER C1, C8, C14 3 1.5pF microwave capacitors (0402) Murata Electronics North America, Inc.
