MAX20029BATIC/V+T

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Overview

The MAX2029 is a high-linearity passive upconverter or downconverter mixer designed for GSM and cellular base-station transmitter or receiver applications. It operates within an RF frequency range of 815MHz to 1000MHz, providing +36.5dBm IIP3, 6.7dB noise figure, and 6.5dB conversion loss. The device supports low-side LO injection architectures with an LO frequency range of 570MHz to 900MHz. It integrates a double-balanced passive mixer core, dual-input LO selectable switch, LO buffer, and on-chip baluns for single-ended inputs. The component requires a nominal 0dBm LO drive and draws less than 100mA supply current.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'BATIC/V+T' against official Maxim Integrated documentation to confirm exact tape-and-reel packaging and RoHS compliance status. Ensure the ordering code matches the intended commercial grade specifications. Cross-reference the manufacturer's latest datasheet revision to validate pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics before final procurement decisions.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Selection Notes

Select this component when designing for low-side local oscillator injection scenarios within the 815MHz to 1000MHz band. It serves as a direct alternative to the MAX2031, which targets high-side injection. Consider its pin-to-pin compatibility with the MAX2039, MAX2041, MAX2042, MAX2044, and MAX2044 series if common PCB layouts are required across multiple frequency bands in the design.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Part Context

This device belongs to a family of high-linearity passive mixers from Maxim Integrated, including the MAX2029, MAX2031, MAX2039, MAX2041, MAX2042, MAX2044, and MAX2044. While the MAX2031 handles high-side injection, the MAX2029 specifically addresses low-side injection needs. These components share similar integration levels and package types, facilitating flexible design strategies for multi-band wireless infrastructure equipment.

Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators Replacement Considerations

The MAX2031 is the pin-compatible substitute for high-side LO injection designs. For other frequency bands, consider the MAX2039, MAX2041, MAX2042, MAX2044, and MAX2044 series.
