MAX2106UCM

Overview

The MAX2106UCM is a direct downconverter integrated circuit designed for Digital Broadcast Satellite (DBS) applications. It operates within the frequency range of 925 MHz to 2.175 GHz and requires a supply voltage between 4.75 V and 5.25 V. The device is housed in a 48-lead Thin Quad Flat Package with an exposed pad (TQFP-EP), measuring 7 mm by 7 mm. It supports an operational temperature range from 0°C to 85°C.

Feature Summary

• Integrated direct downconversion architecture optimized for DBS signal processing
• Operates within the standard DBS frequency band for satellite reception
• Utilizes a compact surface-mount package with thermal exposure pad

Applications

• Digital Broadcast Satellite (DBS) receiver systems
• Satellite television signal demodulation front-ends
• Direct conversion RF receiver modules

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official Analog Devices documentation, as ordering codes may indicate tape-and-reel quantities or specific packaging variations that do not alter the functional specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current product selection guide before procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a single-chip solution for DBS frequency translation. Ensure the design accommodates the 4.75 V to 5.25 V supply requirement and the thermal dissipation needs of the 48-TQFP-EP package. Validate compatibility with the target IF output interface requirements.

Part Context

The MAX2106 belongs to the Maxim Integrated series of RF downconverters. It is part of a family of devices aimed at simplifying satellite receiver designs by integrating mixer and filter functions into a single monolithic chip, reducing board space and component count compared to discrete solutions.

Replacement Considerations

Consult the official Analog Devices cross-reference tool for verified substitutes. Generic RF mixers may not provide the same integrated filtering or performance characteristics required for DBS applications.
