MAX2680EUT

RF Mixers Overview

The MAX2680EUT+T is a low-noise, silicon-germanium (SiGe) downconverter mixer designed for portable wireless applications. It operates with RF input frequencies between 400MHz and 2.5GHz, downconverting to intermediate frequency (IF) outputs ranging from 10MHz to 500MHz. The device supports single-supply operation within a voltage range of +2.7V to +5.5V. Key electrical specifications include a typical noise figure of 6.3dB at 900MHz and a conversion gain of 11.6dB. It is housed in a compact SOT-23-6 surface-mount package.

RF Mixers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against the manufacturer's official documentation to ensure correct packaging and temperature grade. Confirm that the component meets RoHS3 compliance requirements if environmental standards are mandatory for the assembly process. Cross-reference the ordering part number with the distributor's current availability status, as supply chain conditions may affect lead times or stock levels for this specific SiGe mixer variant.

RF Mixers Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-noise downconversion solution is required for frequencies up to 2.5GHz in portable designs. The SiGe technology offers a balance of performance and power consumption ideal for mobile devices. Ensure the design accommodates the specified IF output range of 10MHz to 500MHz and verify that the system power budget aligns with the single-supply voltage constraints.
