1700MHz to 2200MHz High-Linearity,
SPI-Controlled DVGA with Integrated Loopback Mixer
Detailed Description
The MAX2059 high-linearity DVGA consists of two 5-bit
digital attenuators, a fixed-gain two-stage driver amplifi-
er, a loopback mixer, and a serial interface to control
the attenuators. This high level of component integra-
tion makes the MAX2059 ideal for base-station trans-
mitter applications. The MAX2059 is designed to
operate in the 1700MHz to 2200MHz frequency range.
The overall cascaded performance of the MAX2059
produces a typical 10.9dB gain, a +31.8dBm OIP3, an
18.4dBm OP1dB, and a total 56dB gain-control range.
5-Bit Attenuators
The MAX2059 integrates two 5-bit digital attenuators to
achieve a high dynamic range. Each attenuator is pro-
grammed with a 3-wire SPI interface, with a total effec-
tive range of 28dB and step size of 1dB. See the
Applications Information section and Table 1 for attenu-
ator programming details. The attenuators can be used
for both static and dynamic power control.
Table 1. Attenuator Programming
Driver Amplifier
The MAX2059 includes a two-stage medium power
amplifier with a fixed 18.5dB gain. The driver amplifier
circuit is optimized for high linearity and medium output
power capability for the 1800MHz to 2000MHz frequen-
cy range. The driver amplifier is intended to amplify a
modulated signal and drive a high-power amplifier in
base-station transmitters. In a typical application, the
driver amplifier is cascaded in between the two digital
attenuators. See the Typical Application Circuit.
The two-stage amplifier stage can be disabled for
applications where only the digital attenuators and/or
loopback mixer are used. To disable the two-stage
amplifier, ground or leave unconnected the amplifier
supplies VCCBIAS2, VCCAMP, VCCBIAS1, and also
the inputs for setting the amplifier bias currents RSET1,
RSET2. This reduces the supply current by approxi-
mately 187mA under typical conditions.
Loopback Mixer
The MAX2059 loopback mixer uses a double-balanced
active architecture designed to operate with a
1700MHz to 2200MHz RF frequency range, and a
40MHz to 100MHz LO frequency range. The RF port of

the mixer is connected internally (with an on-chip
switch) to the input of the first attenuator stage. The
mixer ’s IF port is matched for a single-ended 50 Ω
impedance, while the LO port requires a differential
input impedance of 100 Ω .
The loopback mixer facilitates a self-diagnostic mode
for cellular transceivers, whereby the Tx band signal at

the input of the mixer can be translated up or down to
the corresponding Rx band. This translated signal can
then be fed back to the radio’s receiver for complete
Tx/Rx loop diagnostics. The loopback mixer is enabled
and disabled with LB_EN. Set LB_EN to a logic-low 0 to
enable the mixer, set LB_EN to a logic-high 1 to disable
the mixer.
