The MAX2039 high-linearity passive upconverter or
downconverter mixer is designed to provide 7.3dB NF
and a 7.1dB conversion loss for an RF frequency range
of 1700MHz to 2200MHz to support UMTS/WCDMA,
DCS, a nd PCS b a s e -s ta tion tra ns mitte r or re c e ive r
a p p lic a tions . The IIP3 is typ ic a lly + 34.5d Bm a nd
+33.5dBm for downconversion and upconversion oper-
a tion, re spe c tive ly. With a n LO fre que nc y ra nge of
1500MHz to 2000MHz, this particular mixer is ideal for
low-side LO injection architectures. (For a pin-to-pin-
compatible mixer meant for high-side LO injection, con-
tact the factory.)

♦ Integrated RF and LO Baluns
♦ Low -3dBm to +3dBm LO Drive
p one nt inte g ra tion. This d e vic e inc lud e s
a
double-balanced passive mixer core, a dual-input LO
selectable switch, and an LO buffer. On-chip baluns
are also integrated to allow for a single-ended RF input
for downconversion (or RF output for upconversion),
and single-ended LO inputs. The MAX2039 requires a
nominal LO drive of 0dBm, and supply current is guar-
anteed to be below 135mA.
♦ Built-In SPDT LO Switch with 45dB LO1 to LO2
Isolation and 50ns Switching Time
♦ Pin Compatible with the MAX2031 815MHz to
995MHz Mixer
♦ External Current-Setting Resistor Provides Option
for Operating Mixer in Reduced-Power/Reduced-
Performance Mode
The MAX2039 is pin compatible with the MAX2031
815MHz to 995MHz mixer, making this family of passive
upconverters and downconverters ideal for applications
where a common PC board layout is used for both fre-
quency bands.
♦ Lead-Free Package Available
Ord e rin g In fo rm a t io n
The MAX2039 is available in a compact 20-pin thin
QFN package (5mm x 5mm) with an exposed paddle.
Electrical performance is guaranteed over the extended
-40°C to +85°C temperature range.
