The MAX2720/MAX2721 are low-cost, high-performance,direct I/Q modulators designed for use in wideband-CDMA and wireless local-loop (WLL) systems. Theirdirect-upconversion architecture reduces system cost,component count, and board space compared todevices with dual-conversion architectures.
The MAX2720/MAX2721 include an I/Q modulator, avariable gain amplifier (VGA), and a power amplifier(PA) driver. The quadrature modulator accepts differentialbaseband I/Q signals and directly modulates an RFcarrier in the 1.7GHz to 2.1GHz range (MAX2720) orthe 2.1GHz to 2.5GHz range (MAX2721). The VGA pro-vides 35dB of output power control. The modulator'samplitude and phase balance yield 35dBc of sidebandsuppression and 30dBc of carrier suppression. Thesedevices feature an LO frequency doubler that allowsthe external LO source to operate at half-frequency orfull-frequency when disabled.
The MAX2720/MAX2721 operate from a single +2.7V to+3.3V supply and require only 77mA (MAX2720) or86mA (MAX2721) of supply current. An additional20mA of supply current is saved by disabling thestand-alone PA driver. A low-power shutdown modefurther reduces supply current to less than 0.1µA. Thedevice is packaged in the small 20-pin TSSOP-EP withexposed paddle to improve RF performance.
