+14dBm to +20dBm LO Buffers
with ±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 ±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
✕
5mm 20-pin thin QFN
package with exposed paddle.

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.
