MAX2039ETP+

RF Mixers Overview

The MAX2039ETP+ is a high-linearity passive upconverter or downconverter mixer IC designed for RF applications. It operates within an RF frequency range of 1700MHz to 2200MHz and supports LO frequencies from 1500MHz to 2000MHz, with an IF frequency range of DC to 350MHz. Key electrical parameters include a conversion loss of 7.1dB, a noise figure of 7.3dB, an input IP3 of +34.5dBm during downconversion, and an input 1dB compression point of +24.4dBm. The device requires a supply voltage between 4.75V and 5.25V and is housed in a 20-TQFN package.

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix '+D' or '+T' indicates tape-and-reel versus tube packaging when ordering. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards as indicated by the '+' designation. Ensure the specific lot date code aligns with project requirements. Cross-reference the part number with official Analog Devices documentation to confirm pinout and thermal pad connectivity specifications before integration into the PCB design.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component for base-station transmitter or receiver applications requiring high linearity in the 1700MHz to 2200MHz band. It serves as a pin-compatible alternative to the MAX2031 for higher frequency operations. Consider the integrated LO switch and baluns to simplify circuit design. Evaluate the external current-setting resistor option if reduced power consumption is prioritized over maximum performance metrics.

RF Mixers Part Context

The MAX2039 belongs to the Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) family of high-linearity mixers. It is specifically engineered to support UMTS, WCDMA, DCS, and PCS base-station architectures. The device complements other mixers like the MAX2031 by offering operation at higher RF frequencies while maintaining similar form factors and interface characteristics for ease of system upgrade or redesign.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

The MAX2031 is explicitly documented as pin-compatible with the MAX2039, serving as a direct substitute for lower frequency ranges (815MHz to 995MHz). Verify that the target application's RF frequency requirements fall within the MAX2031's operational limits before substitution.
