MAX2091ETP+T

Overview

The MAX2091ETP+T is a monolithic upconverting mixer IC manufactured by Analog Devices using SiGe BiCMOS technology. It integrates an analog variable gain amplifier (VGA), upconversion mixer stage, and image filter within a single package. The device processes intermediate frequency (IF) signals ranging from 50MHz to 500MHz, converting them to radio frequency (RF) outputs between 1735MHz and 1935MHz. Key electrical specifications include a noise figure of 5.4dB, an output third-order intercept point (OIP3) of +24.5dBm, and an output 1dB compression point of +12dBm. The IF attenuator offers a control range of 37dB with a maximum gain of 23dB. The component operates on a supply voltage of 4.75V to 5.8V and is housed in a 20-TQFN (5x5mm) exposed pad package.
