The LTC5543 is designed for 3.3V operation, however; the
IF amplifier can be powered by 5V for the highest P1dB.
An integrated SPDT LO switch with fast switching accepts
two active LO signals, while providing high isolation.

The LTC5543’s high conversion gain and high dynamic
range enable the use of lossy IF filters in high-selectivity
receiver designs, while minimizing the total solution cost,
board space and system-level variation.
