Description
M/A-COMs 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
External matching network on LO Port: R = 330 ohms, L = 3 nH, C = 3.3 pF
conversion, modulation, demodulation in systems
such as base station receivers and transmitters for
DCS1800, PCS and PHS applications.
