The LT
®
5522 active downconverting mixer is optimized for
high linearity downconverter applications including cable
and wireless infrastructure. The IC includes a high speed
differential LO buffer amplifier driving a double-balanced
mixer. The LO buffer is internally matched for wideband,
single-ended operation with no external components.
The RF input port incorporates an integrated RF trans-
former and is internally matched over the 1.2GHz to 2.3GHz
frequency range with no external components. The RF
input match can be shifted down to 400MHz, or up to
2.7GHz, with a single shunt capacitor or inductor, respec-
tively. The high level of integration minimizes the total
solution cost, board space and system-level variation.
The LT5522 delivers high performance and small size
without excessive power consumption.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
450MHz, 900MHz and 2450MHz performance measured with the
following external RF input matching. 450MHz: C5 = 8.2pF, 5mm away
from Pin 3 on the 50Ω input line. 900MHz: C5 = 2.2pF at Pin 3. 2450MHz:
L3 = 3.9nH at Pin 3. See Figure 2.
Note 3:
Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating temperature
range are assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls.
Note 4:
SSB Noise Figure measurements performed with a small-signal noise
source and bandpass filter on RF input, and no other RF signal applied.
