Specifications of MAX2032ETP+T

• Lead Free Status / RoHS Status: Lead free / RoHS Compliant

The MAX2032 can operate either as a downconverter or
an upconverter mixer that provides approximately 7dB of
conversion loss with a typical 7dB noise figure. IIP3 is
+33dBm and +31dBm for downconversion and upcon-
version modes, respectively. The integrated baluns and
matching circuitry allow for 50Ω single-ended interfaces
to the RF port and the two LO ports. The RF port can be
used as an input for downconversion or an output for
upconversion. A single-pole, double-throw (SPDT) switch
provides 50ns switching time between the two LO inputs
with 49dB of LO-to-LO isolation. Furthermore, the inte-
grated LO buffer provides a high drive level to the mixer
core, reducing the LO drive required at the MAX2032’s
inputs to a -3dBm to +3dBm range. The IF port incorpo-
rates a differential output for downconversion, which is
ideal for providing enhanced IIP2 performance. For
upconversion, the IF port is a differential input.
Specifications are guaranteed over broad frequency
ranges to allow for use in cellular band WCDMA,
cdmaOne™, cdma2000, and GSM 850/GSM 900 2.5G
EDGE base stations. The MAX2032 is specified to oper-
ate over a 650MHz to 1000MHz RF frequency range, a
650MHz to 1250MHz LO frequency range, and a DC to
250MHz IF frequency range. Operation beyond these
ranges is possible; see the Typical Operating Charac-
teristics for additional details.
The MAX2032 is optimized for high-side LO injection archi-
tectures. However, the device can operate in low-side LO

been optimized for LO frequencies below 960MHz, refer
to the MAX2029.
For using the MAX2032 as a downconverter, the RF
input is internally matched to 50Ω, requiring no external
matching components. A DC-blocking capacitor is
required because the input is internally DC shorted to
ground through the on-chip balun. For upconverter
operation, the RF port is a single-ended output similarly
matched to 50Ω.
The MAX2032 is optimized for high-side LO injection
architectures with a 650MHz to 1250MHz LO frequency
range. For a device with a 570MHz to 900MHz LO fre-
quency range, refer to the MAX2029. As an added fea-
ture, the MAX2032 includes an internal LO SPDT switch
that can be used for frequency-hopping applications.
The switch selects one of the two single-ended LO
ports, allowing the external oscillator to settle on a par-
ticular frequency before it is switched in. LO switching
time is typically less than 50ns, which is more than ade-
quate for nearly all GSM applications. If frequency hop-
ping is not employed, set the switch to either of the LO
inputs. The switch is controlled by a digital input
(LOSEL): logic-high selects LO2, logic-low selects LO1.
