The LTC5542IUH is a high-performance passive downconverting mixer, part of a family of high dynamic range mixers covering 600MHz to 4GHz. It is optimized for 1.6GHz to 2.7GHz RF applications, with LO frequencies between 1.7GHz and 2.5GHz for optimum performance. Typical applications include LTE and WiMAX receivers, efficiently handling 2.3GHz to 2.7GHz RF inputs with low-side LO signals.
Key Features
High Conversion Gain: Typical 8dB at 2.4GHz, effectively enhancing signal strength.
Excellent Dynamic Range: IIP3 of 26.8dBm at 2.4GHz, maintaining signal linearity in high-interference environments.
Low Noise Performance: 9.9dB noise figure at 2.4GHz, 17.3dB under 5dBm blocking, ensuring signal purity.
Integrated LO Switch: Built-in high-speed SPDT LO switch with high isolation, supporting fast changing-over (<50ns) between two LO signals, ideal for frequency-hopping applications.
Flexible Power Control: 3.3V supply with 660mW total consumption, featuring a shutdown pin that reduces current to ≤500μA, adapting to low-power needs.
