Key Featrues

Wide RF Frequency Range (1400MHz to 2200MHz): This feature allows the MAX9994 to support a broad spectrum of wireless communication standards, including UMTS/WCDMA, DCS, and PCS, making it versatile for various base-station receiver applications. Its wide frequency range enhances its adaptability to different RF bands, improving its utility in diverse environments.
High-Linearity Performance (+26.2dBm IIP3): The high input third-order intercept point (IIP3) ensures superior linearity, reducing distortion and improving signal integrity in high-power applications. This is particularly beneficial in crowded RF environments, where maintaining signal clarity is critical.
Integrated LO Buffer and SPDT LO Switch: The built-in LO buffer and switch simplify the design by eliminating the need for external components, reducing board space and cost. The 45dB LO1 to LO2 isolation and 50ns switching time ensure minimal interference and fast transitions, enhancing overall system performance.
Low LO Drive Requirement (-3dBm to +3dBm): The low LO drive requirement reduces the power consumption of the local oscillator, contributing to energy efficiency in the system. This feature is especially advantageous in power-sensitive applications, such as portable or battery-operated devices.
Pin Compatibility with MAX9984/MAX9986 Mixers: The pin compatibility with other mixers in the MAX series allows for easy upgrades or replacements in existing designs, reducing development time and cost. This feature provides flexibility for designers to optimize their systems without significant redesign efforts.
