DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2035A features
is a 300MHz to 3.5GHz ultra high dynamic range down
converting mixer. Demo circuit 2035A is optimized for RF
input frequency range 1.1GHz to 2.7GHz. IF output port
is optimized for frequency range 116MHz to 250MHz. RF
input can be matched with few external component for a
wide range of frequencies. IF output port can be matched
externally up to 500MHz. A typical application with low
side LO injection provides the best performance for RF
input frequency range 1.1GHz to 2.7GHz.
PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
0dBm, P
= 0dBm (∆f = 2MHz, 0dBm/tone for two-tone IIP3 tests), unless otherwise noted. Test circuit shown in Schematic Diagram.

LTC
5551, which
LTC5551 is optimized for 3.3V operation. A low power
®
mode is available and is activated by pulling the ISEL pin
high. This reduces the power consumption by 1/3, however
reduces the IIP3 to approximately 29dBm.
