Stresses beyond those listed under "Absolute Maximum Ratings" may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

The MAX9993 high-linearity down-conversion mixer provides 8.5dB of gain, +23.5dBm IIP3, and 9.5dB NF for UMTS, DCS, and PCS base-station applications.

The MAX9993 integrates baluns in the RF and LO ports, a dual-input LO selectable switch, an LO buffer, a double- balanced mixer, and a differential IF  utput amplifier. The MAX9993 requires a typical LO drive of +3dBm, and supply current is guaranteed to below 230mA.

The MAX9993 is available in a compact 20-pin thin QFN package (5mm ✕ 5mm) with an exposed pad. Electrical performance is guaranteed over the extended -40°C to +85°C temperature range.

The MAX9993 EV kit is available; contact the factory for more information.
