The MAX2390 family includes a 3-wire serial bus for configuring 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).

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 ultralow-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 minimum LO leakage to receiver’s input. The channel selectivity 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.

with 50Ω load, mixer differential input port is driven through a 1:4 impedance balun with a 50Ω source; baseband I/Q output differential
load = 10kΩ || 5pF; reference oscillator input: 19.2MHz (MAX2390/MAX2391/MAX2392/MAX2393), 26MHz (MAX2401), 15.36MHz
(MAX2396/MAX2400); AGC is set to result in a 0.3VP-P differential output-voltage swing at the baseband I/Q output; registers set to
power-up defaults (Table 2); TA = -40°C to +85°C. Typical values are for VCC = 2.8V and TA = +25°C, unless otherwise noted.)

W-CDMA/W-TDD/TD-SCDMA Zero-IF Receivers
With the exception of the analog-input AGC, all functionality of these direct-conversion receivers can be
controlled through the 3-wire serial interface
(SPI™/QSPI™/MICROWIRE™ compatible).
Register Definition
All devices in this family have two programmable 20-bit
registers: the configuration register (CONFIG) and the
control register (OPCNTRL). The MAX2391/MAX2392/
MAX2393/MAX2401 have two additional programmable
20-bit registers: the main PLL divide register (RFM) and
the reference PLL divide register (RFR). The 4 least significant bits of the data sent are the register’s address.
The 16 most significant bits are used for register data.
All registers contain a few don’t care bits. These can be
either 0 or 1 and do not affect operation. Tables 1a and
1b provide a register summary. Data is shifted in MSB
first. When CS is low, data is shifted with the rising
edge of the clock. When CS transitions to high, the shift
register is latched into the register selected by the contents of the address bits. Power-up defaults for the four
registers are shown in Table 2.
The RFM register sets the main-frequency divide ratio
for the RF PLL. The RFR register sets the reference-frequency divide ratio. The RF LO frequency can be
determined by the following:
RF LO frequency = fREFIN x (RFM / RFR)
where fREFIN is the external input reference frequency
MICROWIRE is a trademark of National Semiconductor Corp.
SPI and QSPI are trademarks of Motorola, Inc.
for the MAX2390–MAX2393, MAX2401.
The operation control register (OPCNTRL) and the configuration register (CONFIG) are used to program the
receiver for the appropriate mode of operation. See
Tables 3 and 4 for the function of each bit.
The test register is used to set the receiver in factory
testing mode. It should only be programmed at receiver
turn-on with the word 0370 (hex) for MAX2390–MAX2393,
MAX2401 and 2370 (hex) for MAX2396/MAX2400.
Power Management
Bias control is distributed among several functional sections and can be controlled to accommodate different
power-down modes as shown in Table 5.
The IC has three bias states: SHUTDOWN, IDLE, and
ON. SHUTDOWN can be asserted by either a hardware
control line (SHDN) or by bit 5 of the operation control
register (OPCTRL.SHDN). When the serial interface is
used to shut down the part, an internal linear regulator,
with IQ ≈ 90µA, stays functional to keep the serial interface operational. Use the SHDN logic-control pin to
bring quiescent current below 10µA. Register bit settings maintain their values after a hard shutdown, provided CS remains high. IDLE mode disables the LNA,
I/Q mixers, and baseband circuitry, but keeps the serial
interface and synthesizer operational, dropping quiescent current to 11.5mA. The entire receiver is ON when
SHDN is high and OPCNTRL.SHDN and
OPCNTRL.IDLE bits (MAX2390–MAX2393, MAX2401)
or the IDLE pin (MAX2396/MAX2400) are set to 1; the
typical supply current is 32mA.

Applications Information
LNA and RFIN Matching
The LNA requires a simple two-element 50Ω matching
network at the input. Use the layout and matching network provided in the EV kit as a reference. The LNA input
is internally biased, so be sure to use a series 100pF DC
blocking capacitor in front of the matching network.
The LNA offers a 23dB gain step with less than 10
degrees phase change, selectable with either a dedicated logic pin (G_LNA) or bit 3 in the operation control
register (OPCTRL.GLNA).
LNA output matching is provided on-chip, offering better than 2:1 VSWR. The required DC blocking capacitor
is provided on-chip, so the LNA output can be connected directly to the RF SAW filter or balun.
I/Q Mixers
The mixers’ differential input impedance is 200Ω, allowing an easy interface to commercially available differential-output Rx SAW filters or 1:4 baluns. No DC
blocks are required, but a single, small shunt inductor
is required to resonate out the parasitic capacitance
from the SAW filter and IC package.
The mixer offers an 11dB gain step, which is controlled
by either the logic-control pin (G_MXR) or bit 1 of the
operation control register (OPCTRL.GMXR). This offers
the option to switch the mixer into a low-gain state if
required, reducing current consumption by about 3mA.
Use the mixer gain step and AGC before reducing LNA
gain for optimum receiver dynamic range.
Baseband I/Q Filters
All receiver channel selectivity is implemented fully onchip, with greater than 40dB adjacent channel selectivity (ACS). This eliminates the need for any additional
filtering by any subsequent baseband processor.
The group delay of the integrated filters is compensated through on-chip equalizers for optimum EVM.
AGC
The AGC circuitry of the baseband amplifiers offers linear (dB/V) gain control for the receiver. With the AGC
voltage from 0.3V to 2.4V, the VGA section provides
60dB gain-control range, for a total of 95dB including
the LNA and mixer gain steps.
The AGC control line has an input impedance of more
than 100kΩ at DC. Internal capacitance creates a single
32
pole at approximately 2MHz; this provides some highfrequency filtering, thereby reducing AM distortion.
For applications using a baseband processor with digital-only AGC, Maxim offers an 8-bit voltage-output AGC
DAC with an SPI/QSPI/MICROWIRE interface in a tiny
6-pin SOT23 package. Especially designed as a lowcost, all-in-one solution for cellular handset AGC, the
MAX5383 offers the following features: a serial interface
good to 10MHz, guaranteed operation from a 2.7V to
3.6V supply, on-chip 2V reference,
