_______________General Description
The MAX2690 is a miniature, low-noise, low-power
downconverter mixer designed for use in portable con-
sumer equipment. Signals at the RF input port are
mixed with signals at the local-oscillator (LO) port using
a double-balanced mixer. The RF port frequency range
is 400MHz to 2500MHz. The LO port frequency range is
700MHz to 2500MHz. The IF frequency range is 10MHz
to 500MHz, provided the LO and RF frequencies are
chosen appropriately.
The IF port is differential, which provides good linearity
and low LO emissions, as well as providing compatibili-
ty with applications using differential IF filters, such as
CDMA cellular phones. The mixer noise figure is 10dB
at 900MHz.
The MAX2690 draws 16mA at VCC = 3V and operates
from a +2.7V to +5.5V supply. A logic-controlled shut-
down mode reduces the supply current to less than 1µA,
making it ideal for battery-operated equipment. This
device is offered in a miniature 10-pin µMAX package.

Note 1: Consult the
Applications Information
section for information on designing a matching network.
Note 2: Guaranteed by design and characterization.
Note 3: This spurious response is caused by a higher-order mixing product (2x2). Specified RF frequency is applied and IF output
power is observed at the desired IF frequency (200MHz for fRF = 900MHz, or 1.95GHz, and 350MHz for fRF = 2.45GHz).
Note 4: From the time SHDN goes high to the time ICC reaches 90% of its final value (on), or from the time SHDN goes low to the
time ICC drops below 10µA (off).

_______________Detailed Description
The MAX2690 is a 2.5GHz, double-balanced downcon-
verter mixer designed to provide optimum intermodula-
tion performance for a given supply current. It consists
of a double-balanced Gilbert-cell mixer with single-
ended RF and LO port connections, and a differential
IF port. An on-chip bias cell provides a low-power shut-
down feature.
RF Input
The RFIN and RFBYP pins form the MAX2690’s RF
input. The single-ended RF input signal is applied to
the RFIN pin (refer to the RF Port Impedance vs.
Frequency graph in the
Typical Operating Character-
istics
). The RFBYP pin should be AC grounded typically
with a 1000pF capacitor. This capacitor value should
present a low impedance at both the RF and IF
frequencies.
IF Output
The IFOUT+ and IFOUT- pins form the MAX2690’s differ-
ential open-collector IF output. The IF output is coupled to
the load using shunt inductors to VCC and series capaci-
tors to the load. Most applications use a resistive termina-
tion of 500Ω(typical) resistors in parallel with the pull-up
inductors to set a terminating impedance. The part’s con-
version gain has been specified with the resistors in place
(using the output network on the MAX2690 EV kit),
accounting for a 3dB loss due to the resistors. Therefore,
it is possible to achieve an increase in gain with a proper-
ly designed matching network. However, the resistors
provide for minimum passband ripple when this port is
connected to typical IF filters.
Bias
The bias cell includes compensation circuitry to mini-
mize conversion-gain variations over temperature as
well as shutdown control circuitry. The SHDN pin can
be used to disable all functions and reduce supply cur-
rent to typically 0.4µA.
MAX2690
__________Applications Information
Local-Oscillator (LO) Input
The LO input is a single-ended broadband 50 Ωinput with
a return loss of better than 10dB from 900MHz to 3GHz,
improving at high frequency. For lower-frequency LO
operation, a shunt resistor can be used to improve the LO
port match (see the
Typical Operating Circuit
for more
information). AC couple to LO. The LO signal is mixed
with the input RF signal, and the resulting downconverted
output appears on the IFOUT+ and IFOUT- pins.
RF Input
The typical RF input frequency range is 400MHz to
2.5GHz. For optimum performance, the RF input requires
an impedance-matching network. Consult Table 1 as well
as the RF Port Impedance vs. Frequency graph in the
Typical Operating Characteristics
.
IF Output
The IF output frequency range is typically 10MHz to
500MHz. The IFOUT+ and IFOUT- pins require external
inductors to VCC for proper biasing. These outputs are
high-impedance open collectors. In many applications,
the biasing inductors have resistors in parallel with
them to set an output impedance. Alternatively, a resis-
tor between IFOUT+ and IFOUT- may be used. Consult
the
Typical Operating Characteristics
section for more
information.
For single-ended operation, the IFOUT- pin can be tied
directly to VCC.
Power Supply and Bypassing
Proper attention to supply bypassing is essential for a
high-frequency RF circuit. VCC (pin 5) must be properly
bypassed with a 0.1µF capacitor in parallel with
1000pF to ground. Separate vias to the ground plane
are needed for each of the bypass capacitors, as well
as minimal trace length to reduce inductance. Each
ground pin should have a separate via to the ground
plane. Low-inductance ground connections and con-
trolled-impedance lines should be used in the layout.
To minimize noise on the internal bias cell, SHDN
should be decoupled with a 1000pF capacitor to
ground. A series resistor (typically 100Ω) can also be
used to reduce high-frequency signals coupling into
the SHDN pin.
Inductive Degeneration Pin (LGND)
A series inductor is typically connected from LGND to
GND. Adjusting the value of this inductor allows the
MAX2690 to be set to the optimum gain and linearity
point for a particular application. A short from LGND to
ground provides maximum linearity. Increasing the induc-
tor value trades off linearity for gain. A large inductor pro-
vides maximum gain. See the
Typical Operating
Characteristics
for a graph of conversion gain and lineari-
ty for several inductor values. The inductor’s self-resonant
frequency (SRF) should be as close as possible to or
above the desired RF frequency for optimal performance.
______________________Layout Issues
A well-designed PC board is an essential part of an RF
circuit. For best performance, pay attention to power-
supply issues as well as the layout of the RFIN match-
ing network.
Power-Supply Layout
To minimize coupling between different sections of the
IC, the ideal power-supply layout is a star configuration,
which has a large decoupling capacitor at a central
VCC node. The VCC traces branch out from this node,
each going to a separate VCC node in the MAX2690
circuit. At the end of each of these traces is a bypass
capacitor that is good at the RF frequency of interest.
This arrangement provides local decoupling at each
VCC pin. At high frequencies, any signal leaking out
one supply pin sees a relatively high impedance
(formed by the VCC trace inductance) to the central
VCC node, and an even higher impedance to any other
supply pin, as well as a low impedance to ground.
Matching-Network Layout
The layout of the RFIN matching network can be very
sensitive to parasitic circuit elements. To minimize par-
asitic inductance, keep all traces short, and place com-
ponents as close to the chip as possible. To minimize
parasitic capacitance, a cut-out in the ground plane
(and any other planes) below the matching network
components can be used.
