19-4582; Rev 0; 4/09 SiGe, High-Linearity, 850MHz to 1550MHz Up/Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer General Description The MAX2051 high-linearity, up/downconversion mixer provides +35dBm input IP3, 7.8dB noise figure (NF), and 7.4dB conversion loss for 850MHz to 1550MHz wireless infrastructure and multicarrier cable head-end downstream video, video-on-demand (VOD), and cable modem termination systems (CMTS) applications. The MAX2051 also provides excellent suppression of spurious intermodulation products (> 77dBc at an RF level of -14dBm), making it an ideal downconverter for DOCSIS(R) 3.0 and Euro DOCSIS cable head-end systems. With an LO circuit tuned to support frequencies ranging from 1200MHz to 2250MHz, the MAX2051 is ideal for highside LO injection applications over an IF frequency range of 50MHz to 1000MHz. In addition to offering excellent linearity and noise performance, the MAX2051 also yields a high level of component integration. The device integrates baluns in the RF and LO ports, which allow for a single-ended RF input and a single-ended LO input. The MAX2051 requires a typical LO drive of 0dBm and a supply current guaranteed to below 130mA. The MAX2051 is available in a compact 5mm x 5mm, 20-pin thin QFN package with an exposed pad. Electrical performance is guaranteed over the extended temperature range, from TC = -40C to +85C.

This formula can be used when the temperature of the exposed pad is known while the device is soldered down to a PCB. See the Applications Information section for details. The junction temperature must not exceed +150C. Note 2: Junction temperature TJ = TA + (JA x VCC x ICC). This formula can be used when the ambient temperature of the PCB is known. The junction temperature must not exceed +150C. Note 3: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a fourlayer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial. Note 4: TC is the temperature on the exposed pad of the package. TA is the ambient temperature of the device and PCB. Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The integrated baluns and matching circuitry allow for 50 singleended interfaces to the RF and the LO ports. The integrated LO buffer provides a high drive level to the mixer core, reducing the LO drive required at the MAX2051's input to a -3dBm to +3dBm range. The IF port incorporates a differential output, which is ideal for providing enhanced 2RF-LO and 2LO-2RF performance. 2RF-LO rejection is typically 88dB and 2LO-2RF rejection is typically 79dB at an RF drive level of -14dBm. Specifications are guaranteed over broad frequency ranges to allow for use in VOD, DOCSIS-compatible Edge QAM modulation, and CMTS. The MAX2051 is specified to operate over an RF input range of 850MHz to 1550MHz, an LO range of 1200MHz to 2250MHz, and an IF range of 50MHz to 1000MHz. High-Linearity Mixer The core of the MAX2051 is a double-balanced, highperformance passive mixer. Exceptional linearity is provided by the large LO swing from the on-chip LO buffer. IIP3, 2RF-LO rejection, and noise figure performance are typically +35dBm, 88dBc, and 7.8dB, respectively. Differential IF Output The MAX2051 has an IF frequency range of 50MHz to 1000MHz. The device's differential ports are ideal for providing enhanced 2RF-LO performance. Singleended IF applications require a 1:1 (impedance ratio) balun to transform the 50 differential IF impedance to a 50 single-ended system. Applications Information Input and Output Matching The RF and LO ports are designed to operate in a 50 system. Use DC blocks at RF and LO inputs to isolate the ports from external DC while providing some reactive tuning. The IF output impedance is 50 (differential). For evaluation, an external low-loss 1:1 balun transforms this impedance to a 50 single-ended output (see the Typical Application Circuit). RF Port and Balun The MAX2051 RF input provides a 50 match when combined with a series 47pF DC-blocking capacitor. This DCblocking capacitor is required because the input is internally DC shorted to ground through the on-chip balun. The RF port input return loss is typically 12dB over the RF frequency range of 1000MHz to 1250MHz. Externally Adjustable Bias Bias currents for the LO buffer is optimized by fine-tuning resistor R1. The value for R1, as listed in Table 1, represents the nominal value, which yields the optimal linearity/performance trade off. Use larger value resistors (up to 125) to reduce power dissipation at the expense of some performance loss. Use smaller value resistors (down to 0) to increase the linearity of the device at the expense of more power. Contact the factory for details concerning recommended power reduction vs. performance trade-offs. If 1% resistors are not readily available, 5% resistors can be substituted. LO Inputs, Buffer, and Balun The MAX2051 is optimized for high-side LO injection applications with a 1200MHz to 2550MHz LO frequency range. The LO input is internally matched to 50, requiring only a 47pF DC-blocking capacitor. A twostage internal LO buffer allows for a -3dBm to +3dBm LO input power range. The on-chip low-loss balun, along with an LO buffer, drives the double-balanced mixer. All interfacing and matching components from the LO inputs to the IF outputs are integrated on-chip. Table 1.

Maxim Integrated Products, Inc. 14 ______________________________________________________________________________________ SiGe, High-Linearity, 850MHz to 1550MHz Up/Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer IIP3 and Spurious Optimization by External IF Tuning IIP3 linearity and spurious performance can be further optimized by modifying the capacitive loading on the IF ports. The default component value of 1.3pF for C2 (listed in Table 1) was chosen to provide the best overall IIP3 linearity response over the entire 50MHz to 1000MHz band. Alternative capacitor values can be chosen to improve the device's 2RF-LO, 2LO-2RF, and 3LO-3RF spurious responses at the expense of overall IIP3 performance. See the relevant curves in the Typical Operating Characteristics section to evaluate the IIP3 vs. spurious performance trade-offs. The load impedance presented to the mixer must be such that any capacitance from both IF- and IF+ to ground is minimized. For the best performance, route the ground pin traces directly to the exposed pad under the package. The PCB exposed pad MUST be connected to the ground plane of the PCB. It is suggested that multiple vias be used to connect this pad to the lower level ground planes. This method provides a good RF/thermal-conduction path for the device. Solder the exposed pad on the bottom of the device package to the PCB. The MAX2051 evaluation kit can be used as a reference for board layout. Gerber files are available upon request at www.maxim-ic.com. MAX2051 Spurious Optimization by Increased LO Drive Levels The MAX2051's 2RF-LO, 2LO-2RF, and 3LO-3RF spurious performance can also be improved by increasing the LO drive level to the device. The Typical Application Circuit calls for a nominal LO drive level of 0dBm. However, enhancements in the device's spurious performance are possible with increased drive levels extending up to +9dBm. See the relevant curves in the Typical Operating Characteristics section to evaluate the spurious performance vs. LO drive level trade-offs. Power-Supply Bypassing Proper voltage supply bypassing is essential for highfrequency circuit stability. Bypass each VCC pin with the capacitors shown in the Typical Application Circuit and see Table 1 for descriptions. Exposed Pad RF/Thermal Considerations The exposed pad (EP) of the MAX2051's 20-pin thin QFN package provides a low thermal-resistance path to the die. It is important that the PCB on which the MAX2051 is mounted be designed to conduct heat from the EP. In addition, provide the EP with a lowinductance path to electrical ground. The EP MUST be soldered to a ground plane on the PCB, either directly or through an array of plated via holes. Layout Considerations A properly designed PCB is an essential part of any RF/microwave circuit. Keep RF signal lines as short as possible to reduce losses, radiation, and inductance. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 SiGe, High-Linearity, 850MHz to 1550MHz Up/Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer MAX2051 Typical Application Circuit T1 IF C3 C2 GND GND GND IF+ 16 IF- C4 + RF C1 RF GND GND GND GND 1 2 3 4 5 20 19 18 EP* 17 VCC 15 14 13 12 11 VCC GND GND LO GND C9 LO C10 C11 MAX2051 6 VCC VCC C5 7 LOBIAS 8 VCC 9 GND 10 GND VCC C8 R1 C7 C6 *EXPOSED PAD.
