MAX2683/MAX2684
The MAX2683/MAX2684 are super-high-performance,
low-cost downconverter mixers intended for wireless
local loop (WLL) and digital microwave radio (DMR)
applications in the 3.4GHz to 3.8GHz frequency band.
The MAX2683 is optimized for downconversion to IF
frequencies between 100MHz and 400MHz, and allows
both high-side and low-side local oscillator (LO) injec-
tion. The MAX2684 is optimized for IF frequencies
between 800MHz and 1000MHz, and allows low-side
LO injection. A logic-level control enables an internal
frequency doubler on both devices, allowing the exter-
nal LO source to run at full or half frequency. An internal
LO filter reduces LO harmonics and spurious mixing.
The MAX2683/MAX2684 feature an externally adjustable
bias control, set with a single resistor, that lets the user
trade supply current for linearity to optimize system per-
formance. These devices use a double-balanced
Gilbert-cell architecture with single-ended RF and LO
inputs and differential open-collector IF output ports.
Differential IF ports provide a wideband, flexible inter-
face for either single-ended or differential applications.
The MAX2683/MAX2684 operate from a single +2.7V to
+5.5V supply. The devices are packaged in an ultra-
small 16-pin TSSOP-EP package with an exposed pad-
dle for optimum performance at 3.5GHz.

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.

Note 1:
Limits over temperature are guaranteed by production test at +25°C and via correlation to worst-case temperature testing.
Note 2:
Minimum and maximum limits are guaranteed by design and characterization, but are not production tested.
Note 3:
The device has been characterized over the specified frequency range. Operation outside of this range is possible but not
guaranteed.
