This device is a balanced resistive pHEMT mixer followed by a distributed amplifier Supply Voltage (Vd) +6.0 VDC and includes an integrated LO doubler and LO buffer amplifier. The use Supply Current (Id1,2,3) 320,190,110 mA of integrated LO doubler and LO buffer amplifier makes the provision Gate Bias Voltage (Vg) +0.3 VDC of the LO easier than for fundamental mixers at these frequencies. IF and IF mixer inputs are provided through an external 180 degree Input Power (IF Pin) 0.0 dBm hybrid. This MMIC uses Mimix Broadbands GaAs PHEMT device model O Storage Temperature (Tstg) -65 to +165 C technology, and is based upon electron beam lithography to ensure 3 Operating Temperature (Ta) -55 to MTTF Table high repeatability and uniformity. The chip has surface passivation to 3 Channel Temperature (Tch) MTTF Table protect and provide a rugged part with backside via holes and gold (1) Measured using constant current. metallization to allow either a conductive epoxy or eutectic solder die (2) Measured using LO Input drive level of +2.0 dBm. attach process.
