_______________General Desc ription
The MAX2101 6-bit quadrature digitizer combines quad-
rature demodulation with analog-to-digital conversion on
a single bipolar silicon die. This unique RF-to-Bits
TM
function bridges the gap between existing RF downcon-
verters and CMOS digital signal processors (DSPs).
The MAX2101’s simple receiver subsystem is designed
for digital communications systems such as those used
in DBS, TVRO, WLAN, and other applications.
The MAX2101 accepts input signals from 400MHz to
700MHz and applies adjustable gain, providing at least
40dB of dynamic range.
Each baseband is filtered by an on-chip, 5th-order
Butterworth lowpass filter, or the user can select an
external filter path. Baseband sample rate is 60Msps.
The MAX2101 is available in a commercial temperature
range, 100-pin MQFP package.
