General Desc ription
The MAX2450 combines a quadrature modulator and
quadrature demodulator with a supporting oscillator and
divide-by-8 prescaler on a monolithic IC. It operates
from a single +3V supply and draws only 5.9mA. The
demodulator accepts an amplified and filtered IF signal
in the 35MHz to 80MHz range, and demodulates it into I
and Q baseband signals with 51dB of voltage conver-
sion gain. The IF input is terminated with a 400
thin-
film resistor for matching to an external IF filter. The
baseband outputs are fully differential and have 1.2Vp-p
signal swings. The modulator accepts differential I and
Q baseband signals with amplitudes up to 1.35Vp-p
and bandwidths to 15MHz, and produces a differential
IF signal in the 35MHz to 80MHz range.
Pulling the CMOS-compatible ENABLE pin low shuts
down the MAX2450 and reduces the supply current to
less than 1μA. To minimize spurious feedback, the
MAX2450’s internal oscillator is set at twice the IF via
external tuning components. The oscillator and associ-
ated phase shifters produce differential signals exhibit-
ing low amplitude and phase imbalance, yielding
modulator sideband rejection of 38dB. The MAX2450
comes in a QSOP package.
