MAX2041ETP+T

The MAX2041ETP+T from Analog Devices is a high-linearity passive mixer designed for upconversion and downconversion applications. It supports an RF frequency range of 1700MHz to 3000MHz, making it suitable for UMTS/WCDMA, DCS, PCS, and WiMAX base-station transmitter or receiver applications.

This mixer boasts a typical noise figure of 7.4dB and a conversion loss of 7.2dB. It achieves a high IIP3 of +33.5dBm for both downconversion and upconversion operations. The device integrates a double-balanced passive mixer core, a dual-input LO selectable switch, and an LO buffer, along with on-chip baluns for single-ended RF and LO inputs.

The MAX2041ETP+T operates with a nominal LO drive of 0dBm and has a guaranteed supply current below 145mA. It is available in a compact 20-pin thin QFN package (5mm x 5mm) with an exposed paddle, designed for surface mounting. Electrical performance is guaranteed over an extended temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Key applications include UMTS/WCDMA, DCS/PCS/EDGE, cdmaOne/cdma2000, WiMAX base stations and CPE, PHS/PAS base stations, predistortion receivers, fixed broadband wireless access, wireless local loop, private mobile radio, military systems, microwave links, and digital/spread-spectrum communication systems.
