MAX2620
_________________General Description
The MAX2620 combines a low-noise oscillator with two
output buffers in a low-cost, plastic surface-mount,
ultra-small MAX package. This device integrates functions typically achieved with discrete components. The
oscillator exhibits low-phase noise when properly
mated with an external varactor-tuned resonant tank
circuit. Two buffered outputs are provided for driving
mixers or prescalers. The buffers provide load isolation
to the oscillator and prevent frequency pulling due to
load-impedance changes. Power consumption is typically just 27mW in operating mode (VCC = 3.0V), and
drops to less than 0.3W in standby mode. The MAX2620
operates from a single +2.7V to +5.25V supply.
MAX2620
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 2: Guaranteed by design and characterization at 10MHz, 650MHz, 900MHz, and 1050MHz. Over this frequency range, the
magnitude of the negative real impedance measured at TANK is greater than one-tenth the magnitude of the reactive
impedances at TANK. This implies proper oscillator start-up when using an external resonator tank circuit with Q > 10. C3
and C4 must be tuned for operation at the desired frequency.

NAME
VCC1
Oscillator DC Supply Voltage. Decouple VCC1 with 1000pF capacitor to ground. Use a capacitor with low
series inductance (size 0805 or smaller). Further power-supply decoupling can be achieved by adding a
10 resistor in series from VCC1 to the supply. Proper power-supply decoupling is critical to the low noise
and spurious performance of any oscillator.
TANK
FDBK
Oscillator Feedback Circuit Connection. Connecting capacitors of the appropriate value between FDBK and
TANK and between FDBK and GND tunes the oscillators reflection gain (negative resistance) to peak at the
desired oscillation frequency. Refer to the Applications Information section.
SHDN
Logic-Controlled Input. A low level turns off the entire circuitry such that the IC will draw only leakage current
at its supply pins. This is a high-impedance input.
OUT
Open-Collector Output Buffer (complement). Requires external pull-up to the voltage supply. Pull-up can be
resistor, choke, or inductor (which is part of a matching network). The matching-circuit approach provides
the highest-power output and greatest efficiency. Refer to Table 1 and the Applications Information section.
OUT can be used with OUT in a differential output configuration.
GND
VCC2
Output Buffer DC Supply Voltage. Decouple VCC2 with a 1000pF capacitor to ground. Use a capacitor with
low series inductance (size 0805 or smaller).
OUT
Open-Collector Output Buffer. Requires external pull-up to the voltage supply. Pull-up can be resistor,
choke, or inductor (which is part of a matching network). The matching-circuit approach provides the highest-power output and greatest efficiency. Refer to Table 1 and the Applications Information section. OUT
can be used with OUT in a differential output configuration.

_______________Detailed Description
__________Applications Information
Oscillator
Design Principles
The oscillator is a common-collector, negativeresistance type that uses the ICs internal parasitic elements to create a negative resistance at the baseemitter port. The transistor oscillator has been optimized for low-noise operation. Base and emitter leads
are provided as external connections for a feedback
capacitor and resonator. A resonant circuit, tuned to
the appropriate frequency and connected to the base
lead, will cause oscillation. Varactor diodes may be
used in the resonant circuit to create a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The oscillator is internally
biased to an optimal operating point, and the base and
emitter leads need to be capacitively coupled due to
the bias voltages present.
Output Buffers
The output buffers (OUT and OUT) are an opencollector, differential-pair configuration and provide
load isolation to the oscillator. The outputs can be used
differentially to drive an integrated circuit mixer.
Alternatively, isolation is provided between the buffer
outputs when one output drives a mixer (either upconversion or downconversion) and the other output drives
a prescaler. The isolation in this configuration prevents
prescaler noise from corrupting the oscillator signals
spectral purity.
A logic-controlled SHDN pin turns off all bias to the IC
when pulled low.

Sample Calculation
According to the electrical model shown in Figure 5, the
resonance frequency can be calculated as:
[Equation 1]
fO =

FDBK
OUT
VCC
2f C4 + C04
The value of CSTRAY is based on approximate performance of the MAX2620 EV kit. Values of C3 and C4 are
chosen to minimize Rn (Equation 2) while not loading
the resonant circuit with excessive capacitance. C03
and C04 are parasitic capacitors.
The varactors capacitance range should allow for the
desired tuning range. Across the tuning frequency
range, ensure that Rs < 1/2 Rn.
The MAX2620s oscillator is optimized for low-phasenoise operation. Achieving lowest phase-noise characteristics requires the use of high-Q (quality factor)
components such as ceramic transmission-line type
