MAX19757
Dual, SiGe, High-Linearity,
1700MHz to 2700MHz Downconversion Mixer
with Advanced Shutdown Features
Benefits and Features
General Description
The MAX19757 dual-channel downconverter is designed
to provide 8.8dB gain, +25.3dBm input IP3 and 10.4dB
NF for a multitude of 1700MHz to 2700MHz basestation
receiver applications. With an optimized LO frequency
range of 1800MHz to 2600MHz, this mixer supports both
high- and low-side LO injection architectures for 1700MHz
to 2200MHz and 2000MHz to 2700MHz RF bands,
respectively. Independent path shutdown allows the user
to save DC power during low-peak usage times or in TDD
TX mode.
The device integrates baluns in the RF and LO ports, an
LO buffer, two double-balanced mixers, and a pair of dif-
ferential IF output amplifiers. The MAX19757 requires a
typical LO drive of 0dBm, and a supply current typically
300mA at band center and 350mA across the LO frequen-
cy band to achieve the targeted linearity performance.
The MAX19757 is available in a compact 36-pin TQFN
package (6mm x 6mm x 0.8mm) with an exposed paddle.
Electrical performance is guaranteed over the extended
-40°C to +105°C temperature range.

Based on junction temperature T
J
= T

+ (θ
JC
x V
CC
x I
CC
). 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 +150°C.
Note 2:
T
C
is the temperature on the exposed pad of the package. T
A
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.
