It contains a frequency doubler and local oscillator (LO) amplifier, operating at LO input frequencies of 8 - 13 GHz. The TGC4405-SM is in a compact 4 mm x 4 mm package footprint. Vd = 5V, Idq = 425mA, Vmxr = Vdbl = -0.9V IF = 2GHz +/- 5MHz @ -8dBm Input/Tone, +2dBm LO The TGC4405-SM nominally provides 13 dB conversion gain and 28 dBm OTOI when operated with LO inputs from 2 - 5 dBm. The TGC4405-SM is ideally suited for low cost markets such as Point-to-Point Radio, and K-band Sat-Com. The TGC4405-SM has a protective surface passivation layer on the MMIC providing environmental robustness. Lead-free and RoHS compliant. Datasheet subject to change without notice.

Rinse with alcohol. Allow the circuit to fully dry. * TriQuint recommends using a conductive solder paste for attachment. Follow solder paste and reflow oven vendors' recommendations when developing a solder reflow profile. Typical solder reflow profiles are listed in the table below. * Hand soldering is not recommended. Solder paste can be applied using a stencil printer or dot placement. The volume of solder paste depends on PCB and component layout and should be well controlled to ensure consistent mechanical and electrical performance. * Clean the assembly with alcohol.
