MAX2663EUT

RF Mixers Overview

The MAX2663EUT is a miniature, low-cost upconverter mixer designed for low-voltage operation in portable consumer equipment. It utilizes a double-balanced mixer architecture to mix IF input signals with local oscillator signals. The device operates with IF input frequencies between 40MHz and 500MHz, upconverting to output frequencies as high as 2.5GHz. It supports RF output frequencies from 400MHz to 2.5GHz and features a shutdown mode consuming 1µA.

RF Mixers Feature Summary

• Double-balanced mixer topology for signal mixing
• Low-voltage single supply operation capability
• Ultra-small surface-mount packaging design

RF Mixers Applications

• 802.11 Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs)
• Cellular and cordless phones
• Personal Communications Systems (PCS)
• ISM band hand-held radios

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'EUT' against the manufacturer's current product status documentation. Public records indicate this component may be scheduled for obsolescence or discontinued by the manufacturer. Confirm availability through authorized distributors and check for valid replacement part numbers before procurement planning.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring upconversion within the 400MHz to 2.5GHz range using an IF input of 40MHz to 500MHz. It is suitable for portable devices due to its low-voltage operation and small package size. Ensure the system design accommodates the specific OIP3 and noise figure requirements documented for the MAX2663 variant.

RF Mixers Part Context

The MAX2663EUT belongs to a family of miniature upconverter mixers including the MAX2660, MAX2661, MAX2671, and MAX2673. These components share similar architectural features but differ in performance metrics such as output intercept point and operating current. The EUT designation refers to the specific surface-mount package configuration used for this integrated circuit.

RF Mixers Replacement Considerations

Public data indicates the MAX2663EUT is scheduled for obsolescence. Verify current lifecycle status directly with Analog Devices/Maxim Integrated. Consult official substitution guides for compatible alternatives that meet the required frequency and voltage specifications.
