19-4185; Rev 0; 8/08
Dual, SiGe, High-Linearity, 700MHz to 1000MHz
Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer/Switch
General Description
The MAX19985A high-linearity, dual-channel, downcon-
version mixer is designed to provide approximately
8.7dB gain, +25.5dBm of IIP3, and 9.0dB of noise fig-
ure for 700MHz to 1000MHz diversity receiver applica-
tions. With an optimized LO frequency range of
900MHz to 1300MHz, this mixer is ideal for high-side
LO injection architectures in the cellular and new
700MHz bands. Low-side LO injection is supported by
the MAX19985, which is pin-pin and functionally com-
patible with the MAX19985A.
In addition to offering excellent linearity and noise per-
formance, the MAX19985A also yields a high level
of component integration. This device includes two
double-balanced passive mixer cores, two LO buffers,
a dual-input LO selectable switch, and a pair of differ-
ential IF output amplifiers. On-chip baluns are also inte-
grated to allow for single-ended RF and LO inputs.
The MAX19985A requires a nominal LO drive of 0dBm
and a typical supply current of 330mA at V
CC
= +5.0V
or 280mA at V
CC
= +3.3V.
The MAX19985/MAX19985A are pin compatible with
the MAX19995/MAX19995A series of 1700MHz to
2200MHz mixers and pin similar with the MAX19997A/
MAX19999 series of 1850MHz to 3800MHz mixers,
making this entire family of downconverters ideal for
applications where a common PCB layout is used
across multiple frequency bands.
The MAX19985A is available in a 6mm x 6mm, 36-pin
thin QFN package with an exposed pad. Electrical per-
formance is guaranteed over the extended temperature
range of T
C
= -40°C to +85°C.

). 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

Note 3:
Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to
www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
Note 4:
T

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.
