400MHz to 2.5GHz Upconverter Mixers
General Description
Features
The MAX2660/MAX2661/MAX2663/MAX2671/MAX2673
miniature, low-cost, low-noise upconverter mixers are
designed for low-voltage operation and are ideal for
use in portable consumer equipment. Signals at the IF
input port are mixed with signals at the local oscillator
(LO) port using a double-balanced mixer. These
upconverter mixers operate with IF input frequencies
between 40MHz and 500MHz, and upconvert to output
frequencies as high as 2.5GHz.
ꢀ RF Output Frequencies: 400MHz to 2.5GHz
ꢀ Low Noise Figure: 9.3dB (900MHz, MAX2671)
ꢀ +2.7V to +5.5V Single Supply
ꢀ High Output Intercept Point (OIP3)
5.9dBm at 4.8mA (MAX2660)
7.1dBm at 8.3mA (MAX2661)
0.7dBm at 3.0mA (MAX2663)
9.6dBm at 11.8mA (MAX2671)
7.6dBm at 20.5mA (MAX2673)
These devices offer a wide range of supply currents and
output intercept levels to optimize system performance.
Supply current is essentially constant over the specified
supply voltage range. Additionally, when the devices are

mode reduces the supply current to less than 1µA.
Pin Configurations
The MAX2660/MAX2661/MAX2663/MAX2671 are
offered in the space-saving 6-pin SOT23 package. For
applications requiring balanced IF ports, choose the
MAX2673 in the 8-pin µMAX package.
