MAMXSS0011 MMIC Medium Level Mixer Rev. V3 800 - 1000 MHz Functional Diagram Features Low Conversion Loss C 1 dB Compression: +21 dBm LO Drive Level: +11 to +23 dBm DC - 100 MHz IF Bandwidth L Lead-Free SOIC-8 Package R 100% Matte Tin Plating over Copper Halogen-Free Green Mold Compound 260C Reflow Compatible 8 7 6 5 RoHS* Compliant Version of MD54-0004 Description M/A-COMs MAMXSS0011 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 MAMXSS0011 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 1 2 3 4 such as cellular receivers and transmitters and 900 MHz ISM band applications. External matching network on LO Port: R = 470 ohms, L = 18 nH, C = 4.7 pF The MAMXSS0011 uses FETs as mixing elements to achieve very wide dynamic range in a low cost plastic package. The mixer operates with LO drive Pin Configuration levels of +11 dBm to +23 dBm. DC bias is Pin No. Function Pin No. Function not required. 1 Ground 5 Ground M/A-COMs MAMXSS0011 is fabricated using a 2 RF Port 6 LO Port mature 1-micron GaAs process.

Mixing products are indicated by the number of dB Please observe the following precautions to avoid below the conversion loss. The lower frequency mixing term is shown for two different RF input levels. The top number is for an damage: RF input power of -5 dBm, the lower number is for -15 dBm.
