MAX2041ETP+

RF Mixers Overview

The MAX2041ETP+ is a high linearity, fully integrated upconversion and downconversion mixer designed for RF applications operating within the 1700MHz to 3000MHz range. It incorporates an integrated LO buffer/switch and is housed in a 20-pin TQFN package. The device delivers 7.2dB of conversion loss, 33.5dBm of IIP3, 7.4dB of noise figure (NF), and 63dBc of 2LO - 2RF rejection. It operates across a temperature range of -40°C to 85°C.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Fully integrated up/downconverter with built-in LO buffer/switch
• High linearity performance with 33.5dBm IIP3
• Optimized for low noise figure and high sideband rejection

RF Mixers Applications

• Wireless infrastructure systems
• Point-to-point microwave links
• Broadband communication transceivers

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and tape/reel configuration. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance requirements if specified for the project. Confirm that the thermal pad connection on the TQFN package is properly handled during assembly to maintain electrical and thermal performance. Check datasheet limits for operation outside specified ranges.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when high linearity and integrated LO switching are required for frequencies between 1700MHz and 3000MHz. Consider the 7.2dB conversion loss and 7.4dB NF for system gain budget calculations. The integrated design reduces external component count compared to passive mixers requiring separate LO drivers.

RF Mixers Part Context

The MAX2041 belongs to the Maxim Integrated RF mixer family, specifically engineered for broadband wireless applications. It replaces discrete passive mixer solutions by integrating the LO buffer, offering improved performance consistency and reduced board space. The ETP+ designation indicates a lead-free, environmentally compliant variant in a TQFN package.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify compatibility with existing LO drive levels and IF bandwidth requirements before considering alternative devices from other manufacturers.
