Description

M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0010 is a passive mixer that

achieves the performance of a double balanced

diode mixer in a lead-free surface mount plastic

SOIC-8 package. The MAMXSS0010 is ideally

suited for use where high level RF signals and very

wide dynamic range are required.

Typical applications include frequency up/down

conversion, modulation, demodulation in systems

such as base station receivers and transmitters for

DCS1800, PCS and PHS applications.

The MAMXSS0010 uses FETs as mixing elements

to achieve very wide dynamic range in a low cost

plastic package. The mixer operates with LO drive

levels of +11 dBm to +23 dBm. No DC bias is

required.

M/A-COM’s MAMXSS0010 is fabricated using a

mature 1-micron GaAs process. The process

features full IC passivation for increased

performance and reliability.

Harmonic of RF

Spurious Table

Harmonic of LO

The spurious table shows the spurious signals resulting from the

mixing of the RF and LO input signals, assuming down

conversion. Mixing products are indicated by the number of dB

below the conversion loss. The lower frequency mixing term is

shown for two different RF input levels. The top number is for an

RF input power of -5 dBm, the lower number is for -15 dBm.

3. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause

permanent damage to this device.

4. M/A-COM does not recommend sustained operation near

these survivability limits.

5. Total combined power for RF and LO ports should not

exceed +23 dBm.

Handling Procedures

Please observe the following precautions to avoid

damage:

Static Sensitivity

Gallium Arsenide Integrated Circuits are sensitive

to electrostatic discharge (ESD) and can be

damaged by static electricity. Proper ESD control

techniques should be used when handling these

devices.
