____________________________Fe a t u re s
The MAX2450 combines a quadrature modulator and
quadrature demodulator with a supporting oscillator and
divide-by-8 prescaler on a monolithic IC. It operates
from a single +3V supply and draws only 5.9mA. The
demodulator accepts an amplified and filtered IF signal
in the 35MHz to 80MHz range, and demodulates it into I
and Q baseband signals with 51dB of voltage conver-
sion gain. The IF input is terminated with a 400Ω thin-
film resistor for matching to an external IF filter. The
baseband outputs are fully differential and have 1.2Vp-p
signal swings. The modulator accepts differential I and
Q baseband signals with amplitudes up to 1.35Vp-p
and bandwidths to 15MHz, and produces a differential
IF signal in the 35MHz to 80MHz range.

Demodulator
♦ Integrated Quadrature Phase Shifters
♦ On-Chip Oscillator (Requires External Tuning
Circuit)
♦ On-Chip Divide-by-8 Prescaler
♦ Modulator Input Bandwidth Up to 15MHz
♦ Demodulator Output Bandwidth Up to 9MHz
♦ 51dB Demodulator Voltage Conversion Gain
♦ CMOS-Compatible Enable
♦ 5.9mA Operating Supply Current
Pulling the CMOS-compatible ENABLE pin low shuts
down the MAX2450 and reduces the supply current to
less than 1µA. To minimize spurious feedback, the
MAX2450’s internal oscillator is set at twice the IF via
external tuning components. The oscillator and associ-
ated phase shifters produce differential signals exhibit-
ing low a mp litud e a nd p ha s e imb a la nc e , yie ld ing
modulator sideband rejection of 38dB. The MAX2450
comes in a QSOP package.
