Figure 1. MAX2306 Typical Operating Circuit
The MAX2309 buffers the output of the VCO and pro-
vid e s this s ig na l a t the LOOUT p in. This s ig na l is
e na b le d b y the BUFEN (BE) c ontrol b it or b y the
BUFEN c ontrol p in. The fre q ue nc y of this s ig na l is
selected by the BUF_DIV (BD) control bit, and can be
either the VCO frequency or half the VCO frequency.

The LO signal for downconversion is provided by a
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) consisting of an on-
chip differential oscillator, and an off-chip high-Q reso-
nant network. Figure 4 shows a simplified schematic of
the VCO oscillator. Multiband operation is supported by
the MAX2306 with dual VCOs. VCO_H and VCO_L are
selectable with the MODE pin or the VCO_SEL (VS)
control bit. They oscillate at twice the desired LO fre-
quency. For applications requiring an external LO, the
VCOs can be bypassed with the VCO_BYP (VB) control
bit.
Quadrature downconversion is realized by providing in-
phase (I) and quadrature-phase (Q) components of the
LO signal to the LO ports of the demodulator described
above. The quadrature LO signals are generated by
dividing the VCO output frequency using two latches.
