SiGe, High-Linearity, 2300MHz to 4000MHz
Upconversion/Downconversion Mixer with LO Buffer
The MAX2044 has one pin (LOBIAS) that allows an
external resistor to set the internal bias current. Nominal
values for this resistor are shown in Tables 1 and 2.
Larger value resistors can be used to reduce power
dissipation at the expense of some performance loss. If
Q1% resistors are not readily available, substitute with
Q5% resistors.
Significant reductions in power consumption can also
be realized by operating the mixer at a supply voltage
of 3.3V. Doing so reduces the overall power consump-
tion by typically 42%. See the 3.3V Supply AC Electrical
Characteristics table and the relevant 3.3V curves in the
Typical Operating Characteristics section to evaluate the
power vs. performance trade-offs.

DESCRIPTION
A properly designed PCB is an essential part of any RF/
microwave circuit. Keep RF signal lines as short as pos-
sible to reduce losses, radiation, and inductance. The
load impedance presented to the mixer must be such
that any capacitance from both IF- and IF+ to ground
does not exceed several picofarads. For the best per-
formance, 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.
Proper voltage supply bypassing is essential for high-
frequency circuit stability. Bypass each V
capacitors shown in the Typical Application Circuit and
see Table 1.
