EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX2091 50MHz to 500MHz Analog VGA, 1735MHz to 1935MHz Upconverting Mixer with Image Filtering, Threshold Alarm Circuit, and Error Amplifier for Level Control General Description Benefits and Features The MAX2091 monolithic SiGe BiCMOS upconverter IC S Complete Upconversion in a Single IC integrates an analog variable-gain amplifier (VGA) with 50MHz to 500MHz Analog VGA an upconverting mixer stage and image filter. The device 1735MHz to 1935MHz Upconverter Mixer amplifies IF signals in the 250MHz to 450MHz range On-Chip LO Buffer before mixing them with an LO signal. The resulting Image Filter 1735MHz to 1935MHz upconverted signal is then filtered S High Linearity on-chip as the final stage of signal conditioning. For a +24.5dBm OIP3 broadband variant that does not include the image filter, +12dBm Output -1dB Compression Point refer to the MAX2091B. S 23dB Gain The analog attenuator is controlled by an external analog S 37dB IF Attenuator Control Range control voltage. Device features include 23dB gain (no S 5.4dB Noise Figure (Includes Attenuator attenuation), 5.4dB NF (no attenuation, including attenu- ator insertion loss), and +24.5dBm OIP3. Each of these Insertion Loss) features makes the MAX2091 an ideal upconverter for S 0.25dB Gain Variation Over 100MHz Bandwidth numerous transmitter applications. When paired with the S Analog Attenuator Controlled with External MAX2092 RF VGA, a complete 2-chip IF-RF signal con- Voltage ditioning solution is possible for microwave point-to-point S Alarm Circuit with Adjustable Threshold transmitter applications. S 20dB Image Rejection at 1135MHz RF Frequency The MAX2091 operates from a single 5V supply, and is available in a compact 20-pin TQFN package (5mm x S Single +5V Supply with Extended +4.75V to +5.8V 5mm) with an exposed pad. Electrical performance is Supply Range guaranteed over the extended temperature range from S Lead(Pb)-Free Package T = -40NC to +95NC.
