W-CDMA/W-TDD/TD-SCDMA Zero-IF Receivers
General Description
The MAX2390–MAX2393/MAX2396/MAX2400/MAX2401
(referred to as the “MAX2390 family”) fully integrated
direct-conversion receiver ICs are designed for W-CDMA
and TD-SCDMA applications.
The MAX2390 family of receiver ICs have over 90dB of
dynamic gain control, and typical noise figure of 2.7dB
referred to LNA input. Each receiver consists of an ultra-
low-current low-noise amplifier (LNA) with on-chip output
matching and a two-step gain control. The zero-IF
demodulator has a differential circuit topology for mini-
mum LO leakage to receiver’s input. The channel selec-
tivity is done completely in the baseband section of the
receiver with an on-chip lowpass filter. The AGC section
has over 50dB of gain-control range. LO quadrature
generation is done on-chip through a divide-by-2
prescaler. The DC offset cancellation in the I/Q baseband
channels is done fully on-chip using a DC servo loop. To
quickly correct for large DC offset transients in minimal
time, very fast settling time is obtained by optimization of
the DC-offset-cancellation circuit’s time constant.
The MAX2390 family includes a 3-wire serial bus for con-
figuring the different receiver modes. They also include a
SHDN
pin for full device shutdown. The receivers are
fabricated using an advanced high-frequency SiGe
BiCMOS process. The ICs operate from a single +2.7V to
+3.3V supply and are housed in a small 28-pin leadless
QFN-EP and thin QFN-EP packages (5mm x 5mm).
