19-2486; Rev 0; 7/02
+14dBm to +20dBm LO Buffers
with 鹵1dB Variation
General Description
The MAX9989 and MAX9990 LO buffers provide the high
output (+14dBm to +20dBm) necessary to drive the LO
inputs of high-linearity passive mixers, while offering 40dB
reverse isolation to prevent LO pulling. The MAX9989 is
internally matched for the cellular/GSM bands, and the
MAX9990 is matched for the DCS/PCS/UMTS bands.
The
Typical Application Circuit
provides a nominal
+17dBm output power with 鹵1dB variation over supply,
temperature, and input power. With two optional resis-
tors, the output power can be precision set from
+14dBm to +20dBm. The devices offer more than 35dB
main driver output to PLL amp output isolation. Each
device is offered in a 5mm
鉁?/div>
5mm 20-pin thin QFN
package with exposed paddle.
